Phorgun, Japan has been around for 10 years now.
It’s one of the most respected shops in Tokyo and although the shop is tiny, they carry the illest selection carefully hand picked by the owner Mabo Sato AKA Mr. Sugar.
To mark their 10 year anniversary, they got one of the most influential street artists in Japan and my personal favorite, kami to paint the exterior of the shop.
Dope!
Last Sunday we had an Extremely Sorry DVD showing at Youth Outreach. For those that never heard of Youth Outreach, it’s a place for kids to hang out and get off the streets.
Many of these social workers (special thanks to Mini and Tet) will go around and invite kids that don’t have anywhere to go and are having problems with drugs and help them to turn their lives around.
At the Youth Outreach facilities they can play basketball, video games, computer games, have computer access, ping pong and also skateboarding.<...Read more
ISF (Independent School Foundation Academy) invited us (Hong Kong X Fed) to come and do a skateboard demo and some skateboarding basic lessons for the kids.
Never saying NO to any opportunity to promote skateboarding especially when it’s at schools, myself, Warren Stuart (hkskateboarding.com), Kit (HKit), Chun Chai (8FIVE2 rider), Chris B, Piet, Dani (8FIVE2 crew), A Men and Wai (HKit) came and performed.
Nothing is better than teaching the kids and hoping they can feel and understand the beauty of skateboarding.

Thank you for the love from MILK magazine.
Lui Araki and Naotaka Ohya are the first 2 original Know1edge riders in Japan. They’re both like family to us way before Know1edge even started. Lui is originally from Kobe and now resides in Tokyo with Nao.

Jeremy Fox started Death Box back in the late eighties, trial and error.
He moved to the US broke and started FLIP skateboards with his hometown heroes Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny and Rune Glifberg.
I still remember clearly when 411VM was introducing FLIP skateboards, it was mind blowing.
Soon after, Tom Penny became everyone’s favorite…many of the skateboarders started mimicking Tom by rubbing their noses after they’d landed their tricks BUT sadly, none of them came close to looking like Tom. All good, it’s all love.Read more
I’ve mentioned several times and I’ma mention it again, Mr Danny Reyes, the dude behind the brand LOVEWRIGHT came out super proper again with his HOLIDAY 2009 Collaboration s/s tee shirts; The Hundreds, Commune, Eevl Goose and Chase Tafoya. All these 4 companies did an amazing great job on graphics. Respect.
Don’t sleep, whenever you are at your local store, ask for LOVEWRIGHT, make sure they carry it.
