LURK VILLE
[close]
Been on a Dolan Stearns youtube bender for a few days, solid looking graphics and good dudes

The ollie Japan air Stearns does over the parking lot gap in Meet The Lurkers is one of the best things I've ever seen in my entire life. That whole part is outrageous.

As for the board vote, I'll go with Northern Co, Politic or Sleep. Northern Co looks like they're completely out of boards at the moment tho. Sleep has a brand new line out, Politic has some new stuff dropping in the coming weeks which I'm pretty psyched to see.

My next board is going to be a Palace or Isle, so we should all vote for them.

just purchased my second magenta deck...so good.

Spike Hawke · « **Reply #273 on:** May 29, 2014, 06:05:48 AM »

I'm down for this but most boards mentioned aren't available in the UK, so I'm on a Magenta now about to chnage to an Isle and I have my next Magenta gripped

Randozzi · « **Reply #274 on:** May 30, 2014, 09:08:04 AM »

Isle
WKND
Darkroom

Cliche doesn't seem to get much love on here so maybe they could go on the list. Along with transportation unit and maybe palace. Even though you can't get em in the UK I'd like to see WE win.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Cliche made by the same folks as Almost? they're not really skater owned or anything small.

Conan · « **Reply #277 on:** May 30, 2014, 10:16:25 AM »

You're not wrong, Dwindle owned but seen as waltercronkite suggested we throw out some bigger names I thought this would be a good one.
Jeremy and Al still run things over at cliche as far as I'm aware, and Boyle at Dwindle. it's only when you get above this that the skater involvement rapidly declines.
There's plenty of small euro brands I could call out, though I thought it would probably be pointless and those in the US wouldn't be able to get them without heavy postage fees.

transportation unit

Wish Science had state-side distribution.

Other than that:

Snack
Evisen
Sleep

How about Slave? Just watched The Frecks vid. It's still a small company with solid roots. And unfortunately it seems like they probably could use a little help right about now.

shit_for_brains · « **Reply #282 on:** May 31, 2014, 10:32:33 PM »

My local shop doesn't carry many smaller brands and to be honest I just personally don't want to support them (the shop). If people could provide links to how to get some of this shit I'd really appreciate it.

pointandclick · « **Reply #283 on:** June 01, 2014, 12:07:39 AM »

not me purchasing these for myself, but for my shop ive recently ordered:
send help
blood wizard
lifeblood
the friendship

These three are all really good:

http://www.laborskateshop.com
http://www.atlasskateboarding.com
http://www.pedestrianskate.com

SPOT also has some Hopps, Magenta, Polar, Isle and Traffic boards.

I voted for Politic. I don't think I want to skate anything that isn't South Central now.

Yeah they were going to get my vote.

Conan · « **Reply #287 on:** June 02, 2014, 11:04:03 AM »

I went cliche this time, hopefully see Western Edition and Transportation unit on the list for next time.

I voted Cliche as well, mainly because I want to ride a board with Lucas Puig written on it but also because they are ?15 cheaper than most other decks.
Edit: also because shipping a Heavy board would cost a ton to the UK but I'd be happy if Heavy got it.

Conan · « **Reply #289 on:** June 02, 2014, 12:24:08 PM »

Yeah friend of mine has a shop and appears the US brands are taking a real hit in the uk at present

Conan · « **Reply #290 on:** June 02, 2014, 03:46:12 PM »

Shit just seen the summer Heroin drop and it's sick. Wish I'd gone for them now.

waltercronkite · « **Reply #291 on:** June 02, 2014, 06:10:01 PM »

Sorry dudes the list of brands to put on the poll is getting really long i thought i got them all, i will have to make it up to you next time.

I went with All I Need just because the new bedford scene is really cool and i like all the dudes involved, but i wouldnt mind seeing politic win either.

morningpost · « **Reply #292 on:** June 02, 2014, 06:24:54 PM »

Heavy always gives slap members a discount, and I want to support October and Ayejay, so I'm voting Heavy again.

coda is sick i put them on the poll last time and i dont think they got a vote, but i would have loved for coda or more importantly fancy lad to win

Conan · « **Reply #295 on:** June 03, 2014, 05:34:15 AM »

I really think it would be worthwhile doing an euro list. I don't mind doing it if people are interested?

Saw someone at the park a few days ago break one skating flat the second day he had it, so good luck with that.

the fabo les board I'm skating right now is probably the best board I've ever had, also I've been asked about it 100x more then any other board. I don't think they have any for sale right now though

are you talking about politic or all i need because all i need uses chapman wood which we all know is good and doesnt politic use south central also good so either way it was probably a defect
