Oh alright then. Our cover's been blown. We have a new DVD coming out pretty soon. There - we said it. It was supposed to be a secret but clearly we can't keep one judging by the message board activity of late.
Magic Sticky Hand (don't ask) is a promo featuring parts from our newer riders - Colin Fiske, Stephen Roe, Jon Monie, Chris Ault and a full new Deer Man Of Dark Woods part made exclusively by the Barrier Kult for Heroin. All our other riders make guest appearances on the video too alongside some of our esteemed peers and friends. Of course there are extras but we won't tell you what they are until it's ready to drop.

The DVD is finished and being duplicated now and so should be in the shops in a few weeks. Meanwhile we're busy organising premieres so keep 'em peeled for news on those here very soon.

Exciting huh? Look how excited the Pulmans are!

Aside from that Fos has just landed after his Altamont trip to Japan and sent these pics over for your amusement. He even sent captions - is this a new organised, efficient Fos? What have the Jap's done to him this time?
View of Osaka from my hotel. Nice huh?Altamont party thing - Better put something about that 'cos they paid for me to go.

More video? Oh alright then. Some time ago I think I posted this up but it was in some gay .wmv format that nobody could watch so here it is again in glorious quicktime. Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls - the original Infection 2 trailer (not the best quality but watchable this time at least).Whilst we're giving you something to watch you might as well have a look at these two: a nicely put together commercial for some weird shoe company and this lad who's broken new ground in his wheelchair - next time you moan about your rolled ankle think about this guy and be grateful for what you've got. Just goes to show, you can pretty much get shreddy on anything if you put your mind to it.

Bonjourno! Here's some news, some of it's even relevant.

Captain Jetset (a.k.a. Fos) is in Japan to go to some Altamont party thing. The bastard doesn't even drink, they should have invited me. Oh well.
Rogie is now the artist formerly known as Rogie and would like to be adressed as Stephen Roe. We'll see if anyone can get the hang of it before we make him change it back. Remember when that happened to Coco Pops? Anyway...
Pulman is pretty much AWOL so if you see him or his brown brogues then remind him he's a skateboarder for us. Howard is out there somewhere, in fact rumour has it I might see him at the Brujeria gig tonight in London.
Nobody cares about Ault, Tubb, Worthington or Jon Monie so I won't mention them.
There is a rumour of a Daggers visit sometime in March though. Supposedly Hamaji, Dal and maybe Takama (remember that old video ad we had with Chopper squeezing lemon juice in his eye? I think it's on the Everything DVD) could be coming over to film for their new Infection video. Unfortunately it seems Chopper will be staying behind to keep the rest of Osaka out of trouble. Maybe Fos will be able to shed more light on this when he gets back.

Fiske sent us some new footage of him and Vey, who's now known as The Queen Of Freestyle as you can see by his fur coat below. This and the rest of the pics are from Fos-cam and were taken during his honeymoon with French in NYC.

Fos and French's NYC trip went well apparently. You can see for yourself below. Fiske and Vey came down from Boston and Ollie Whitehead from Manc was around too. I know Fos and French would like to thank Amy at KC/DC, Zoe Ball and everyone who put up with their crap in Max Fish and Motor City, or something.

Altamont is amazing. I got sent a box of shirts today, look!
My scruffy artwork!!! So stoked. Heather already nicked the white tapes tee shirt.
I'm going to Japan to the launch of Altamont next week.
Its rad because they send stuff that I'm stoked on, like the shirts and jeans that i actually want to wear straight away.

Altamont rules.

Fos

Stop Press - DAL has dressed up as a dog and filmed this for us. Notice the regulation stair manoeuvre at the start - that's how you know it's him - and you might not be able to tell from the low quality video compression but he's got eye contact with the camera at all times, another dead giveaway.

Ok, so maybe it is actually a dog but he just looks so calm and like "yeah, I'm waterskiing, too many dudes on the ramp anyway". We gotta get DAL and Pete together. What a meeting of minds.

If you're in or around New York City this weekend or over the next week or so get yourself down to KCDC in Brooklyn for Fos and French's exhibition (why do people call them 'art shows'?). As you'd expect there'll be plenty of childish drawings of monsters (just kidding guys!) and free beer! Yaay! The drinks are on us!! (Well, them).

Also yesterday saw the release of Heroin friend and Battle Of Normandy 2006 guest Alex Klein's video part in the City video. They're releasing a part a week on their site at Streetcornerskate.com so in a month you'll have the whole video for free! That's pretty generous huh? You can also watch Alex's part here. Klein is one of our favourite skateboarders and England is one of his favourite places as you'll see when you watch this part. Keep your eyes out for some Alex footy when we finally let you see our B.O.N section!

Enjoy your weekend! See you next week.
