The venerable book publisher, Taschen, has been releasing some great collections as of late and we ’specially dig the new one dedicated to surf culture. Vintage Surf (here) really focuses on all the great, old campy stuff that really hit when the Southern California surfing scene took off in the Fifties and Sixties, and we’re [...]

Remember your first endo on a bike? Here’s RL Osborn pulling off a curb endo in, like, ‘86 or something. There’s a great thread on nothing but endos over at Old School BMX (here). Close the door to the office and enjoy…

From our friends over at Mollusk Surf Shop: a new little film is coming soon and it’s looking promising. “Jazz The Glass,” (here) billed as a pirate surf film, doesn’t taste like the same old indie surf drudge. Seems like the boys at Stoke Films actually have something interesting to say!

Our friends over at Jalopnik alerted us to their friends over at CarDomain and their Muscle Car Parking Lot (here).
One of our favorite underdogs of all time is the Mercury Marauder X-100 and the Parking Lot does a good job of giving the luxo-muscle its due. Now, while they also cover some of the [...]

It also has meant that their “Suede Palace” down in the back buildings has always been the venue for the local car clubs and backyard builders. See how I don’t use the worn-out moniker, “rat [...]

Joe Cuba, lord of Latin Boogaloo, died last Sunday at the age of 78. While he was a “Nuyorican” jazz musician, he was also an influence on car culture in the Seventies – especially in the lowrider scene. To test my theory, I played “Bang Bang” this morning as I was writing this post for my [...]

If you’re fortunate enough to have a copy of our Premiere issue (I don’t even have one!) from early 2002, you’ll remember our feature on Jungle Pam Hardy. Always been a fan of hers and Don Moats turned us onto yet another picture page of her and Jim gettin’ DOWN (here). Not in that way, [...]

Buddy and photographer Jay Watson sent this flickr page over last week: a club of Japanese hotrodders (of sorts) that seems to focus on, uh, customizing their, uh, cars. In general, I can see where they’re going with the effects: extreme extremities seems to be the order of the day. But I’d love to know [...]
