Our man Veedster just released a new edit with us. Filmed and edited by Cobe Tekstra with no tripod around the local waters of Tamarack in Carlsbad. Original music by Jess Cardile. Edit came out sick give it a watch!!
@1peace1ply is a DIY project started by Tyler Stover with the simple goal of repurposing plywood used to board up local businesses during the recent protests. All that wood is likely doomed for landfills but instead can be used to create skateboard related obstacles like grind boxes and jump ramps. With minimal tools and supplies these obstacles can be built simply using one 4’ x 8’ piece of plywood.
As kids transition into the summer months, it’s important they have activities that keep them healthy and open minded. Through connections in various communities these recycled skate obstacles can make their way into areas where their impact can be felt the most.
We’ve put together a very simple how-to PDF that describes step-by-step the method that Tyler has created for the perfect all plywood grind box. Tools, time, and investment are minimal and with just a few friends, you can make a difference in your area for the next generation of skateboarders all the while making use of the wood going to waste. Organize some friends, hit up a local business for some plywood, make some grind boxes, and set up some youth for a summer of skateboarding.
@1peace1ply has a short list of volunteers ready to take your plywood if you’re in the LA / Ventura areas. We’ve already built a handful of boxes and dropped them off locally. They’re working great and we’re ready build more so drop us a line if you got some wood or know of a good home for the boxes we’ve built. If you’re outside of our physical reach we encourage you to start your own regional network. Put our PDF to use and get working! Let’s continue to lead by example as skateboarders.
1 sheet of plywood can make: One manual box with a grind rail or two kicker ramps
If you want to volunteer to collect Wood, store wood, make skate features, or anything else related to this project please drop us a line here.
It recently came to our attention that our friend Thomas whom we know from via his wonderful photography, is also a very accomplished painter as well. He recently shared some work he completed for a solo exhibition that unfortunately got cancelled due to COVID-19 but the work is know available for your viewing pleasure earlier than expected. We caught up with Thomas regarding this new body fo work and here’s what he had to say.
“Been working on these paintings during the past 9 months for a show that was to take place at my home in Darlinghurst, Sydney Australia. Unfortunately shit happens and the exhibition was canceled due to that virus thing. So here they are. All works are acrylic on cotton canvas.”
Quarantine life is real and all these live IG’s going down have definitely helped the time go by with some flavor. We reached out to our longtime contributor Alf Alpha to come through this Sunday and take over the Innocnts IG for a couple hours to play some good ol’ fashion hip-hop classic, lowrider oldies, and rare cumbia tracks. Please join us 12pm-2pm Sunday April 12th as well do the quarantine with class.
Made a video with all Theo Lewitt’s Venice Surfline cam footage. Used some music from the homies GLUE.
