Howies and Shiner Distribution have got together to put on a month long exhibition of classic skateboard decks in Bristol. This is one show that I won’t be missing (did someone say Banksy?) and neither should you! There will be boards from Dogtown, Sims, Santa Cruz, Powell Peralta, Vision, Schmitt Stix, G & S, Zorlac, Alva, Santa Monica Airlines and a whole load of others. There will also be 20 hand painted blanks auctioned off with all proceeds going to Unicef, featuring artwork by Jim Phillips, Geoff McFetridge, Pete Fowler, French, Kev Grey, Chris Bourke, Danny Wainwright and Jethro Haynes. I’ll see you there, yeah?

This looks like it’s going to be a great series of videos on the history of snowboarding. An absolute must watch if you are even remotely interested in snow sports. I’ll keep updating this post with the new parts so be sure to check back or subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified.
