Reese Forbes #9.




Flat to the top.

Reese was on Venture before switching to the in-house truck brand at Giant. I threw in a color photo of the truck for an added bonus. Other than the yellow-green bushings, it doesn't make much difference. Destructo ran a lot of black and white ads that had solid skate photos. I like BW stuff so that always catches my eye.

There's a new DVD from the Threads Collective called Magnetic Tape and Soul. It's really good and worth checking out. In an age where people can't be bothered to put names in videos, they are putting names as well as footnotes in their projects. The crew is also drawing inspiration from lesser known facets of skateboarding with tricks and sections dedicated to forgotten videos and departed companies. Be like Threads.

A stand alone part that caught my eye for the week was from Reece Knobloch for the Arrow & Beast shop based in Germany and France. I dig the graphic design of Arrow & Beast ads so it was cool to see something from them. Reece rips.
