Our good friends over at Pros N Cons recently released their Fall 09 collection entitled “A Disciple’s Destiny” with the release of several new designs and well as new colorways of various t-shirts from their previous release. With premiere shop accounts poppin up everywhere for these guys up and down the California coast, I’m sure that they won’t have any problems moving these units out quicker than you can order. You can check out their Online Shop and find out more over HERE. Did I mention that they are currently offering FREE SHIPPING on all of their orders? Better scurry on over to your parents room and sneak some cash out of your mom’s purse while they’re fucking right this minute before these are all sold out. Keep it movin fellas…

We Are the Superlative Conspiracy
WeSC (We are the Superlative Conspiracy) is a Swedish clothing brand, focusing mainly on skateboarding/street style clothing. Founded in Örebro 1999, it has quickly become one of Sweden’s most popular brands, within Sweden as well as internationally. WeSC has their own stores in among other places Tokyo, Beverly Hills, München, Berlin, Paris and New York, as well as being sold in a large number of other cities.
The brand first became famous through sponsoring many Swedish underground artists and musicians with connections to the skating world with clothes, and little to no other marketing. Among the first to sport WeSC clothes were Swedish hip hop acts Looptroop and Timbuktu. This helped WESC to gain an underground, “alternative” image which turned out to be very popular with many young Swedish consumers, critical of other companies and their perceived “greediness”. WeSC is still sponsoring many famous personalities with clothing, which they refer to as “activists” or “weactivists”, among them Jason Lee, Peter Stormare, Fabri Fibra, Jerry Hsu, Millencolin and Mikael Persbrandt.
WESC is working hard on increasing their sales in the USA, as they reportedly feel the market in Sweden is already saturated, and in order to keep their underground image, they wouldn’t want to be bigger there than they already are.

For our next SpotCheck installment we have the Baxter Ledge. Yes, this is the same ledge that Rick McCrank did a Frontside Boardslide on as well as Joey Brezinski’s Frontside Noseslide, Javier Nunez’s Switch Frontside fibty-fibty (Tom’s pronunciation of a 50-50) as well many other tricks that have gone down on this. The floor to hit the spot is pretty rough and the downhill ledge is about 2-3 inches above knee high to get onto. On top of that, there’s also a huge crack in the middle that someone found the time to bondo making it smoother. After you come here and check out the spot you will learn to appreciate the tricks that have gone down on it so far. Who’s got a tailslide on this?

Be sure to look out for our 4 page interview in the next FourGsMagazine.com’s (Issue #3) that’s set to release within the next couple of weeks. We have some skateboarding sequences on there as well as (of course) graf pics. The piece below was painted back around the middle of summer exclusively for the magazine and was not meant to be leaked anywhere on the net, but since they’re about to release the issue soon we decided to give you a sneak peek here on the blog. You can also see the rest of the production over HERE. Chances are that it’s probably buffed by now; horrible.
