Although this was posted way way back, its worth another mention. If you would like a collection of breathtaking photographs and writings addressing a passionate, brutal look at humanity look no further. The connection between man and Earth can not be ignored either, bit like digging trails and having them taken from you if you want to look at it lightly haha!

News, nothing to do with wars or student protest

Evening cats,

Whilst currently frequenting the proximity between life and death (see...Winter-Summer, pretentious blog intros) we are waiting for dry quiet mornings of concretes transitions.
Time is being filled productively. As mentioned before, there's a fair amount in the grotty pipeline. On the BMX side of things, all the cats are out doing there thing and we are not producing any web edits, nothing new there. We have our new flow rider being announced 'soon as' for Hardcore Hobbies (Bad Brains/BMX fanatically run). There's is also something fairly special dropping pretty soon through another medium, if Jay at Hardcore Hobbies was 'Tony Montana', this ones with 'don corleone'. (Neither are gangsters, hope they understand haha)

The collective is expanding, the drawing board is full, and plans are underway. At the minute, we still have a few limited edition shirts online, a long with a couple of plaids, The jacket, and a hat you'd be lucky get. No baggy tie dyes, but this isnt San Fran, its Essex, however summer awaits.

On another note, there's finally something interesting coming out of the musical world, if its any good is yet to be understood. Don't get me wrong, theres a shitload of amazing music out there, but the last people really doing anything widely excepted, culturally worthwhile, and 'new' were 'Tv On The Radio', with there second...

Connections between Hardcore Hobbies and Savakas go way way back, so we are 'made up' to anounce there will be a new brother onboard through the shop!

News back from Simple Session was that Savakas absolutely dominated the 'look like a Zombie' category (Calcagno's explanation of drinking to much?), Calcagno reports that Shoji took 15th in this...Looks like the bouys had a bangin time!!! Im afraid no mechanical frontwhizoff tunemeup was completed by any Sav rider, c'est La Vie...Think we got the win next year for sure

BMX is Cyril Sneerious now, my mind was blown out by some of the stuff i observed from that contest, Personally i quite liked some of Kachinski's manoeuvres, maybe threes a freestyle bone in me after all!

Anyway, enough things are in the works, new artists, new projects, NEU! (This means new in German btw, it also means dope Krautrock band who LCD Soundsystem decided to base his entire career around whether he admits it or not)


Thus, in the next month or so, there will be a whole new range of prints, exclusive of each artist, and major plans for later in the year...Wait and see for these, in the mean time pick yaself up a plaid shhirt or jacket, or just listen to a good record...


We may even have some BMX news over the next few weeks, Tom Blyth is traveling like a man on the run, Shojis on a filming mission after Simple Sessions and so on so on; although we may also not.

(FBM)
Verteran(he'll love that) James Brooks is going to be tying the not in the not to distant future, so serious Congrats to this fine brother! If you don't know his royal highness, his hop bars may suck but he ain't to shy with a spade in hand. James has been defining trial riding for as long as Howard Marks served in jail, and influenced as many people! Chin Chin Bruce!

Tom Blyth

For Tom's latest head over to FBM!

We will also have a shop rider through Hardcore Hobbies in the next month or so! More from the rest of the team over the next few weeks brothers.

Its been busy as hell here at the Sav camp, we have a couple of exciting things in the pipeline, inclucding a couple of new artists getting involved for the new range of shirt designs...These should be out within the next month! Shit is gonna be so hot! Stock is getting a little low with the new shirts and hats etc, so if you haven.t already treated yourself, then nows the time!
