SEAN BURNS

Check out a Q&A with Sean Burns on TheComeUp.

Allen Iverson – Detroit Pistons

If you’re like me (and by “like me” I mean couldn’t care less about basketball but love watching Allen Iverson play) then you might be excited about basketball’s baddest player being united with basketball’s baddest team. Aside from winning the “most improved” award at basketball camp when I was 12, I don’t know the first [...]

This Douchebag

Got indicted. Here’s the video. Everyone has most likely seen this but it bears a second look. I would like to take this opportunity to make the following blanket generalization: In 99% of cases, pretty much F the police.

Will Stroud Reel

I saw this on The Come Up a few days ago, but it’s to good to not re-post. This is a montage of Will Stroud’s recent work. Definitely worth a few minutes of your day!

FORECLOSURES= EMPTY POOLS

I’m sure Dean Dickinson will be psyched on this article, haha. Check out THIS ARTICLE from the New York Times about how the home foreclosure crisis is opening up a bunch of pools to skate/ride. The article is based around skating, but its equally relevant for riders. It’s funny how things like this creep into [...]

Albert Street

Crandall posted up some classic FBM craziness, by which I mean the old Albert Street trailer. Click below to check it out.

FOR THE LOVE OF VINYL

I just came across this book that looks to be pretty interesting. It’s called “For The Love of Vinyl“, and it covers some of the amazing/iconic album art that the U.K. based Hipgnosis team created for some well established acts. I would assume that their most popular work is Pink Floyd related, but I’m sure [...]

Q&A: JAMES COX

The UK’s James Cox was recently out here in California filming for the United video, so I decided to throw some questions his way about his trip. Click below for that.

WELL MEDICATED/SMASHING MAGAZINE

I’m sure most of you are chilling/recovering after the holidays, and/or probably catching up on things after some traveling. If that’s the case and you need some time to kill (and are into graphic design/photography) you should browse Well Medicated and Smashing magazine. Both sites have interesting collections of random things such as 50 Amazing [...]

Best Of 2008 – Part 2

Here’s our second round of “best of”s for 2008. We have a huge list of people for our second round and there’s a chance there will be a third! If you missed it, make sure to check part 1 here.

SNEAK PEEK: CHASE DEHART LOTEK

Rich just sent over a sneak peek of Chase Dehart’s Lotek shoe. According to Rich, Chase’s shoe is based off a slimmed down throwback and will have double thick insoles and a stiffer/more durable sole compound, as will the rest of the 09 Lotek line. Full pic after the gap jump, and keep checking Lotek [...]

Commercial by Build

Graphic designer Michal C. Place of Build is featured in this pretty rad commercial for some white out pens… As I was watching this, I was just picturing how cool it would be to have a huge warehouse space like that… I was also thinking how weird it was he was using whiteout pens… I [...]

The Fader’s Listmania

Out of all the end of the year roundups, The Fader has my favorite thing going on by far. I posted on their list last year and was super excited to see what they came up with this year. They always have the most random topics and I love how the numbers change… Like “Top [...]

Mercedes-Benz Design History

Keeping on the subject of the world’s first, and baddest, automaker… a few weeks ago Selectism posted this short and sweet summary of Mercedes-Benz design history from Wallpaper* by Jonathan Bell. The article is great but the photos are even better. Excerpt: “Mercedes’ key reputation rests on its saloon cars, traditionally deemed to hide over-engineered [...]

SL Black Series

As a car manufacturer, when the recession hits and supercars are being unloaded for half-price, naturally the strategic next step is to drop an even more ridiculous model than the last. If the CLK isn’t enough for you, there’s a second Black Series coming to the US. More than twice the price of the CLK [...]

Rap is the Next Big Thing

Check the date on this NY Times article. Thanks David Lang. Read it here.

Best of 2008 – Part 1

To round up 2008, we hit up a bunch of our friends and asked them a simple question: Send us us one good thing that stands out from the past twelve months. Thinking back on 2008, it probably won’t be remembered as the best year, but rather than focusing on the negative, we wanted to [...]

CLK Black Series

Those of you Defgrip readers who are automobile enthusiasts are probably already well-acquainted with the Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series. About a year ago I saw one of these on the 405, knowing that it was some race or DTM version of the very familiar CLK, but at the time it took some research [...]

JIMMY LEVAN

EXPN posted a Jimmy Levan video that Dean Dickinson put together, where he talks about various topics. Click below to check it out. Pic from Metal Bikes.
