Seurat




The title of this post had no relevance what so ever, i just noticed the title of a book in my fathers libray that said seurat...sewer rat... i like that!

Anyway, Been super busy, the 2010 line of t's will drop any time now, some interesting changers going on here. For the first time the collection will be available in france, From invert loving, city of love dwelling, Thomas Calliards distro co.-Clande Distribution!

Rumor has it count duckula may also be able to pick up a Savakas garm at his local store soon...

Hats, Hood's and Crews on there way, and a few trips planned so this year is looking splendid!

SLAVAKIAS


Not that this is of any importance, but just to set to record straight.

Over the last year or so ive had alot of people ask "what is Savakas", "What does Savakas mean" and so on.


Savakas started as a blog, between me and a friend. We have built trails together, made music,Videos, traveled, built gheto parks, wasted our bodies, and rode together for over 15 years. I was very ill, and needed to concentrate on something, He created the blog, i continued it...intill it became a little more.


There was never a goal, or purpose, or point, other than to stear clear of all that is dodgy in bmx and life in general.


It was never BMX specific, it was interest specific.


We make clothes for people who arnt dicks. Although, dicks are welcome to purchase our products, we are skint, just don't wear it in public.

Coo coo co new!



Another awful title to another awful post!

Products are shifting like there's no tomorrow from our good Friends Revolver Clothing.
Although i Missed the Gallows gig at the arts centre last night, More than a few cats were seen sporting Fine (SAVAKAS) clobber...good work Colchester!

The weather has been shit, so the wooden plank and the BMX have not seen the light of day, to avoid cabbin fever, i have called upon bigger wheels, hitting some serious milage...i will not be tornted for such facts haha!

The site is up and looking sweet, thanks the our snowboarding binge drinking web freak Mitson! A few new cats have been getting involved in times of late, so maybe our art direction may take a few different avenues..who knows!!!
The 2010 line will be out any time now, along w
ith various custom prints and products, thanks to contributing skateboarder screenprinters who don't sleep! Check website...http://savakas.webs.com/


A few more stockists, a french distributor, a couple of articles(check new Cream) and a new UK Rider...who im not going to mention...

Max Bimar: Top 5's

Music : fugazi, public image limited, the cramps, joy division, MC5,Films : Les poupes russes, usual suspect, control, gazon maudit, nikita.Icons : ian mckaye, Fabrice luchini, my futur wife, trail riding, rock'n'roll.Music is no free. i hate download music cause, it keep off all relationship you can get with a band by records.Have you ever see somedy say, "i know this song" but he never know the artist. I hate that. Or worse when they say the name of the shady band which cover a song. With Ipod people don't realised the worth of the music, the talent of the artist.Listening music is a luxury, understanding great music need time.For 3/4 of people, great music is junk music.
