Looking Thru The B-Sides is an AWESOME stop motion short that follows the adventures of a skater named “ollie” as he is off on a quest to find his lost skateboard. What starts off as a casual trip to the skatepark, turns into a wild trip down the rabbit hole and ends up in a way that Alice In Wonderland could never imagine.

Infectious has always been the place to go for some of the best artist designed iPhone skins, iPod skins, car decals, adhesive wall art and laptop art around, and now they’re the place to go for custom skateboard decks as well thanks to a recent purchase of Popdeck, the former skate deck champion.
Both Infectious and Popdeck are similar to Threadless in that artists can submit designs and then the community votes on the winners, which means each new piece of art is unique and there should be plenty to chose from to match your style.
To get the new and improved Popdeck purchase off the ground, Infectious is also hosting an art contest called the Skate Deck Design Challenge, and if your design is one of the first five to be picked to become a skate deck, you’ll win fabulous prizes that range from $1000 in cold hard cash to a limited edition, never to be sold “Infectious Eats Popdeck” skate deck.

In honor of their new Stephen Sprouse collection, Louis Vuitton is turning their boutique on SoHo’s Greene Street into a Stephen Sprouse store, complete with a vinyl wrap, spray painted neon graffiti on the façade, and a 6-foot neon light installations in the display window that will feature Sprouse’s Rose motif. Inside, the interior will feature black brick wall facing, and will be sprayed with the same neon graffiti.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the launch however will be the sale of a limited edition Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard that was created for the event, replete with a hard case monogram skateboard trunk and a price tag of $8,250.
Don’t expect these boards to set foot on the local skate parks and streets any time soon though, as Louis Vuitton expects collectors to grab up all three of the limited edition boards rather quickly.

If you want to go anywhere and do anything, then you need a…Nike Ill-Mobile?
The as yet nameless machine is “a souped-up, tricked out, action sports shred-mobile: part amphib, part 1970’s camper, and 100% rock and roll”.
The 8-wheeled ill-mobile can cross deserts, climb mountains, and search out any secret spot on the planet. Once there, it deploys rack mounted bikes, surfboards, wakeboards, and skateboards for any session that you can throw at it.
Can’t find a place to board?
No problem.
Grind rails line the sides, and a quarter pipe folds down from the rear for an impromptu session.
Need to chill for a bit?
Got you covered there too. The ill-mobile has an on deck bbq, a deluxe camper shell, a basement couch front seat, and a stereo to piss the neighbors off with if you ever have any.
Ride on.
