Beauty of a short lookbook film, shot by Justin Oakey for CVLT Nation‘s spring/summer 2013 collection. The icy shores Lake Ontario and Locrian‘s The Crystal World (soundtrack) are the stars here, so Canadian (but also, could be Norwegian or anywhere from northern Scandinavia). Collection is dope if you keep it hesh/MTVL, the coming months might be sunny but here’s your pass to keep it dark… closer look at the pieces after the jump.

It’s been a minute since we’ve featured anything from Scott Toepfer, so why not start your Wednesday with one of the best video lookbooks to ever grace the internet. Iron & Resin give a look at their f/w 2013 collection, shot mostly at Big Sur on the mid California coast, and all I can think about right now is packing up the gear, getting on the bike and going until the beans and gas money runs out. Beautiful work from Toepfer and more great promo collateral from I&R, stoke all around.

JR Ewing’s 8BallGang is featured in these looks for FUCT‘s second f/w 2012 delivery, real Seattle goon styles. #8BallWorld 2013, I like the video animated by 8BallTony and scored by Keyboard Kid, who also just released his I Think I’m Santa tape (very based).

It is fall. It is raining, cold, dark, and not full of stoke. Are you going to stay inside on the couch, watch HBO and eat chips, or are you gonna hardman up and put fenders on that bike, hit that climbing gym, put in them reps on the bench, run in a monsoon and/or hit the pool before dawn breaks? I for one choose the later options, but I need fuel. Besides good whole foods there’s nothing like audible hatred to get you going when it comes to athletic endeavours this time of year, so here are 10 banger HXC tunes for your iPod, to max that last 10 min doing whatever it is you’re doing when you’d rather quit and head home. Put in the work now, be jacked by the time the sun comes back. Or rewatch The Wire for the 3rd time, your call.

It’s Monday, you’re back at work and summer is almost over (although here on the west coast it seems like it might keep going forever). There’s a good chance your motorcycle trips for the season are behind you, and that’s a tough reality to accept, 6 months of grey, cold, snow and rain until we can do it again. So here’s 4 vids to keep you occupied while you remember the good times over the past few months and the adventures yet to come. Sourced from Bolts, 4Q, LLTK and Cycle Zombies.

I’ve been really lucky to have made the acquaintance of Paul Salva over the past couple years through playing a few shows together and a good time kicking it at Bass Coast last summer. Him and Comma happened to be at a festival I had played in Sacramento earlier this year, and afterwards they asked me to do the latest entry in to the podcast series for their powerhouse label Frite Nite. Definitely an honour and I’m really hyped on the opportunity and the mix I turned in… if you like those house and techno vibes peep my FN Podcast #027 HERE.

Having surfed the island (Vancouver Island) for many years, Storm was the first ever ‘brand’ that people rep’d with pride as a piece of the cold water west coast surf identity. The hoodies and stickers were everywhere from Tofino down to Sombrio, and the shop was formative piece in the popularization of the PNW surf aesthetic. Which is why I’m super hyped to see them collaborating with Victoria’s own Sitka on a run for spring 2013, good to see cooperation within a culture rather than competition. Oh, and great promo vid too!

Been meaning to post this for a while and and now seems like a good time… Wreck is a great HXC band from Tacoma, and this is a music video they made in conjunction with 6131 Records and Overcast printing. PWN has some great hardcore bands and this vid is testament to that… look for a big music post coming sometime soon, it’s overdue.
