Good friend of Tweaker Zine Bam de Martelaere has been living in SF for some time now and as well as his amazing photography likes to film an edit or two. This new edit is of a night time cruise through the SF streets hitting up a few spots, good stuff as always. You can keep up with Bram’s photos and edits over at his blog:

Speaking of the busy Dave Dixon, Dave has also created an online presence for his concrete labour of love, Antifornia. We featured Antifornia in a photo essay in our latest issue of Tweaker (see here) a little while back, check the Antifornia website for loads of new photos. Looking forward to a return visit to skate Antifornia soon…
In my book San Francisco company Western Edition just cannot put a foot wrong; amazing team, always incredible graphics and great videos. Continuing this is this nice 8mm edit of Jabari Pendleton by Zach Mack, entitled ‘Searching’.
Dave Dixon has been busy creating issues of his amazing zine Brain Snot for some time now, all in lovely printed form. Dave is now working on putting together an abridger version of Brain Snot online, you can have a look on the Hythe Knives website:
Tweaker don’t do product reviews, mainly because all things are mostly the same, but every now and again, shit comes in that is mad-rad ya dig.
Stu-pot at Lovenskate sent us the Tea-riffic boxset. It contains an 8.25 hand screen locvnskate deck. Hand screened decks once a staple of the industry are rarer than rocking horse shit these day. Also included are some stickers, a Tshirt (again hand printed here in the UK at The Mangle screenprint studio). But the pista-motherfucking-resistance is the inluced tea set, comprising of a teapot, and 2 mugs*. All 3 china items were screenprinted by Lovenskate, but the mind boggles as to what crazy technique Stuie inventented.
I like to think of Stu wearing a wizards cape and hat as he perfoms his screenprinting magic. Obviously he have the cape and pointy hat off when people come and visit Castle Mangle. Tea-riffic is a collaboration between Lovenskate and Carhartt. Carhartt, and the gentlefolk who work there are all awesomely epic, buy their shit and hug the sales rep when you see him.
Available from your favourite store, I hear Bored and SS20 have em, and you can get the at the Lovenskate online store too. Only 30 of the box sets were made.
Check out the photos and shit, I need some fresh brew. *Breakfast tea bags included.
On Friday 18th of February 2011 at 10am Steven ‘Bingo’ Binks was laid to rest. The previous Sunday, at the Five Bridges Skate spot, a memorial skate jam was held. Percy Dean captured the above audio and images in a such a poignant way from that day that we felt it was a good clip to repost here to mark Bingo’s funeral.
Bingo we salute you mate.
