Amy Hood Artist Series.

Mike Lawrence — Tue, 10 May 2016 10:11:22 +0000

Zine’s are unique in the way they can be be quickly produced and consumed, not unlike a lot of other content these days, but because of the tangible printed nature of them, they are also permanent. Amy Hood makes zines, but you could nearly produce one yourself by listing off her other endeavours she partakes in. What Youth caught up with Amy to chat and also produced this short video following her through some print making process.

Table Talk : Chad Muska

Mike Lawrence — Sat, 07 May 2016 09:14:52 +0000

The Table Talk series continues with legendary skateboarder Chad Muska. Easily one of the most influential skaters of the late nineties Chad’s style, personality and the surrounding energy brought new tricks, outfits, styles and places to take your ghetto blasters. Now having been involved for the past few years developing his art the two worlds are beginning to merge.

Mike Giant by Tight Blue Jeans

Mike Lawrence — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 06:51:10 +0000

The crew from Tight Blue Jeans sat down with underground icon Mike Giant to talk tattoos, graffiti, art and psychedelic’s. Read the full interview…

Can you recall the first time you ever took a psychedelic; what was the experience like for you and does it play a part in your work?

I ate mushrooms the first time and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I got suicidal and homicidal. Terrible combination. I think I ate too much. It hit me way too hard. I’ve eaten mushrooms about 40 times since then and always had a good time. But that first trip really sucked. Although it might now be obvious, my experiments with hallucinogens have definitely influenced how and what I draw.

Mike Lawrence — Thu, 31 Dec 2015 06:48:20 +0000

We look forward to another year of chasing whatever it is that excites, exhilarates and captures our imaginations, as we continue finding our feet on this shaky little rock in the universe.

What Youth round up the year that was 2015 with a collection of clips from all that was done and seen for a nostalgic look back or a motivational look forward. It’s a new year, you chose.

2015 LOST BOYS TOP 5

Mike Lawrence — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:15:20 +0000

Narrowing down a top five from a years worth of videos can be quite the challenge. For 2015 we were blessed with a few standouts to make it that much easier. So without further ado, the Lost Boys 2015 Top 5.

From 5 – 1.

Number Five: Octopus Is Real

It’s fast, it’s loud and it saw the launch of the new surf brand Octopus Is Real. A lesson in how to step out into the world.

Number Four: Cultivate Vol 1

Always pushing the boundaries and bringing something new to the game Cult continued that motto with Cultivate.

Number Three : A Fisherman’s Son

The story of Ramón Navarro and how he came from a small fishing village in Chile to become one of the most respected big wave surfers and coastal ambassadors.

Number Two: The Cinder Cone.

Foster Huntington realised every kids dream building the ultimate treehouse with adjacent bowl in the picturesque setting of Skamania, Washington.

Number One: Boys Of Summer

Produced by Jeff Kutter and Charles, Boys Of Summer lived up to every ounce of hype. With a roll call too big to name, this nearly hour long video gave everyone a reason to go out and skate.

See you again for 2016.

Full details below!

It’s back! A Very Skateboard Christmas will once again set out to get as many underprivileged kids as possible skateboards under the tree this Christmas. After it’s first successful year in 2014 we are keen to see this go even further.

A Very Skateboard Christmas is about giving underprivileged kids the chance to experience skateboarding and all the fun and challenges it has to offer.

We will be collecting and accepting donations of new and good condition skateboard completes and parts from now until mid December. At that time we will build all of the parts into completes and present them to Barnardos children’s charity who will distribute them through their channels to as many kids as possible for Christmas.

This year we have partnered with Barnardos and GiveALittle so if you can help out in even more ways. All money donated will be used to purchase skateboard parts to boost the final numbers.
