The White Room will showcase the works of Britain’s most established and talented photographers and designers within the snowboarding industry. The show looks at the many different facets that make up this dynamic culture. From the mountains, to the people and the love for the ride, the exhibition explores how artists and designers continue to represent their shared passion for snowboarding

Featuring:

Influences range from skateboard graphics, punk flyers and Americana to packaging, signage and the other wonderful sights of South London. Mark graduated from Central St. Martins. Since then, working with a mix of spraypaint, acrylic and his paint splattered Mac, he has worked internationally across fashion, magazine covers, editorial and commercial installations.

Bacon Skateboards Premiere snaps


Last week saw the release of Bacon Skateboards latest shralp fest feature, " Unheard" at LCB brick lane.
Moderately anticipated but heavily received. A good olde dosing of portland park rats tearing new orifices in an assortment of concrete spaces.
Not your classic drifter 5.0, baskside fastplant and frontside tuk knee shred formula , instead....
Backside smith to backfeebles on 12 foot pool coping, fakie bigspins-fakie .5.0 fakie bigspin in on 7 foot quarters and tranny to tranny halfbody flip transfer type thingies that will leave you catching flies in amazement.
This boisterous beast is well worth a look if you even have the slightest interested in roller plankin.
Bacon is surely my cup of meat. " Say's the strictest of vegetarians."
Check Craig Questions new album cover shot. peep, peep!

Sick snow in La France mmmmmm




Bonjour
Ahh , what a few weeks its been, after a last minute call from Lizzie at Burton Snowboards I was off out to La Clusaz for the French snowboard test to get to grips with all the new AW10/11 boards,boots and bindings and let me tell you there's lots to get hot under the colour about for next season - new ICS Systems, the Flying V's and a few new sticks in the range.
Not only was this a great 3 days for shedding next years new planks it also gave me the opportunity to try to get my legs back into full days riding in prep for my Morzine trip to see H,Chris, Si and Helen at Rude Chalets with the family.

So less than a week after returning to Blighty if found my self with Fi and Fynn back in Geneva with good snow forecast. - and unlike old Michael Fish they were not wrong. 3 days in and we get 50cm over night - first lifts, a stiff coffee in Changas and with cloud clearing we spend the day ripping some insane pow .... its doesnt get much sweeter than that- All topped off with a stiff Mutzig back at Robo's
Back Of The Net!!
