BIG C IN THAILAND

My buddy Big C is pretty big in Thailand. He also is pretty big in Holland and he is also big in the office... He is just pretty damn BIG.

SELF PROCLAIMED

In Amsterdam there´s always some camera around to catch you. Seems that all my poses are going together with drinking beer.

SHOECURITY

Yeah yeah I know how lame sneakers are and that having so much shoes is really keeping you in touch with your feminin side. But this is the damage of years of working in a store and having no car or Harley Davidson to down-pay. I had to get them insured because it´s a small fortune and probably the biggest investment I have... The closet you see is a Ikea by Hiroshi Fujiwara, I´m on top of my game.

STUSSY VANCOUVER

Matt George and his United Front pretty much own the marketplace up in Northern America. With quality stores such as Goodfoot, Nomad and my personal favorite Ransom they now also have gotten to the next chapter called Stussy Flagship stores. For their new Vancouver location they did a special project of which you can buy a book soon. A tailormade wooden store that can be followed from tree up to cash register down. Go to www.stussyvancouver.com for more info.

DELUXE

Japanese brands are doing well these days. So is Deluxe who have gotten together with Vans for a piece of high quality sk8-hi. Leather laces are the new pink laces ?

POSSE SHOTS

My parents live in the east part of Holland. It's always very quiet and relaxing compared to the chaos in Amsterdam. I like it over here... Even though I caught a train to Arnhem to finish some business.

This cd has been in my Discman(yes not an Ipod) for over a week. Zo Moeilijk- Nijmeegse Modo.

I met up with Limps, Menno and Twan to have breakfast at 2.

Menno and Twan who was eating like a true blue collar worker.

Fall is in season.

Mouse brought me a FTC dvd. It has all the classics on it. Scott Johnston, Puleo, Carrol, Howard and much more.

Arnhem City Life.

Posse Shot #1

Jelle van Houten is one the most swaggerish skateboarders I know, I love his style. Noseslide pop out.

Posse Shot #2

Mouse from Stoopid Mouse Productions and Wous Distribution. He carries Western Edition & FTC. The good stuff.

He also carries Big Guns.

Menno did some interviews about Arnhem for the Tax Free bit. Here he is getting his board that fell into a roster that hangs over the road. Danger!

Job Willemsen at the curbspot in Arnhem. We had some good footie from there. Just peep the video when it comes out.

Spot #3 was a little playground with a gap. The cops came because one bitch was whining. Some other old ladies were rooting for us. Too cool.

Sewa Kroetkow was killing it today. Here he is switch flipping the gap. He almost made it, but then the cops came and kicked us out. Same shit, different day...

CAPTURED

Captured the Streetlab/Blend Magazine Talentnight for you, go and check it here

TAX FREE

Sounds good right ? Tax Free Video Magazine is a project by Stoopid Mouse Productions. It's the only FREE Dutch skateboarding video to date... Tomorrow I will be in Arnhem to finish some work with Mouse for the Arnhem Metrospective that will be featured in Tax Free Vol. 2 coming out around Christmas.

BLACK SCALE

Black Scale's fifth season has dropped and is looking esquisite, might I say. Mega from HUF SF started the brand and it's really going strong and getting better every season. Go and find some stuff it's hard I know...

Supreme x Vans

I am sore and hung over from last night, so I will be lame and post some product by Supreme & Vans. The Mountain Edition High is doing well these days. Supreme knows
