Chris Aults path of destruction continues in this months SOMA magazine, a fine publication from France made by our mate David Tura. Here's what the cover looks like. Click here check out their site. Nice one Dave.
Sorry, I know, updates on here are long overdue.
Got a new Mac, my old one died, so there'll be more stuff coming through on this in't next few weeks. We're putting a few little edits together and stuff too.
New Boards arrived this week too, they'll be in the catalogue and on the page opposite soon enough, but here's a sneak peek for now.

This is the cover of the new Kingpin magazine, there's an interesting article about Americans who ride for foreign companies, Fiske is one of those Americans and he rides for us. I haven't read it yet, but I saw the photo's and they're pretty special, exactly what you'd expect from Fiske. If that isn't enough for you, check this video of him also on the Kingpin site.

Been in Japan for the past month, hanging with the Osaka Daggers.
My laptop finally bit the dust while I was there too, so made updates and crap hard to sort out.
I have 13 rolls of films being developed at the moment, so there'll be loads of photo's (hopefully) and might try and do a little thing for the site if they turn out any good.
Went there with Deer Man of Dark Woods and Prestons own Rogie on a bit of a filming mission for the next video. As usual with skate trips it was an emotional rollercoaster, good times, bad times, productive days, days where we got nothing at all, loads of details and photos to follow.
Here's a photo of the one and only DAL to start things off though.

Oh and I have a little interview up on a site called the Artists Advocacy.
Click here to check it out

When the Osaka Daggers ask me to have an art show at the new OSAKA DAGGERS VIDEO PREMIER with THE WORLDS GREATEST LIVING ARTIST - SIMON TRUE!! I say HELL YEAH. Even if it involves live art which I told them was gay and I was only gonna do it if they played "Reign in Blood", "South of Heaven" and "Seasons in the Abyss" to counteract the gayness of live art.
Anyway, the show is gonna be in Tokyo, if you're there on the 27th of March, in the Harajuku area and you're not busy like going to Denny's or Freshness Burger or something then you should come down, I mean that's if you want to, only if you have nothing better to do.
So yeah, that's happening.

Here's Chris Ault modeling one of the new Heroin Good Shit hoods that just arrived. Be under no illusions, IT IS STILL WINTER! Get yourself one now. Good odds on Native being one of the first to have em in stock. Support your local store though, you know the deal.
Hey, so speaking of Ault, click the pic of him on the right to check out his new interview that just went up. Now this is the first interview we've had up on here, and it's basically some photo's that were hanging around and not getting used for owt. Hopefully this is something that we'll do with other teamriders in the future, we're also working on the team section for the site, as it's been ages since we've had one, if we've ever had one?? Enjoy the interview, you can expect a LOT more Ault footage in 2010.

This is the new Sidewalk magazine, you probably have it already, if you have read Caspers check out! If you haven't, buy it and read Caspers check out!
Sorry for lagging on updates and general tardiness on updating the site, I've been well busy with stuff though, I'm working on a team profiles bit (Long overdue), and some other cool little things (One of em goes up this week) and we're gonna have a few more little footage clips up in the next few weeks.

Alex Craig, one of the fellows responsible for the incredible "Harvey Spannos" film just sent me a mail with a link to the trailer for his new film "Machotaildrop". As you would expect, it looks absolutely amazing, kind of a cross between a Michel Gondry film and a skate video, no news as to a release yet but look out for it at film festivals this year. Click Here to check the trailer.

Happy New Year and all that. Hope you all had a good one. Our Very own Deer Man of Dark Woods emailed me to say that he has a guest part (Along with some of the other members of the BA:KU) in the new Creature DVD Hesh Law.
Here is a link to it on Youtube, though I'd encourage you to to pick up a copy of the DVD really cos Creature is rad and they have some shredders on the team.

Stephen from Norwich sent me a link to this this.
A small insight into the genius/lunatic that is Colin Fiske. Fiske told Casper that he doesn't need to go to school because he can learn everything he needs from his Blog. (Besides spelling obviously) -here
(The views of Colin Fiske are not necessarily the views of Heroin Skateboards, we in no way believe that Fiskes blog is a replacement for a decent education)

It seems like I've been getting cool things in the post from France recently, this is the Close Up/Heroin fingerboard. Close up is a company that makes these crazy tech fingerboards and you put the whole thing together yourself. Unfortunately they aren't available in the UK at the moment, if they sort out distribution I'll post something up in the blog, if you absolutely need one I'd ask a friend in France to sort you one out, or try and order one from Nozbone skateshop. Check their site - www.closeup.fr



Speaking of Nozbone, Many thanks to Chas One for hooking me up with the new Nozbone DVD "Rendezvous".
Nozbone is a shop in Paris that Heroin team rider Jon Monie rides for. They just put out a sick DVD with a load of great parts and they use some classy songs. Personally I was hyped to see K-Rod skating to Captain Beefheart and Lisa Jacob skating to Leonard Cohen, there's a whole load of good parts, but don't take my word for it, you can download the whole thing from the Nozbone site, isn't that nice of them?? click here.

Hey, Winter 2009 Catalogue is now up, click Chris Aults feet on the right and it'll take you to all the good stuff.
The new boards are in the shops now!!! Get Toxic.

SIMON TRUE (Who is unquestionably the worlds greatest living artist ) emailed me yesterday. You've seen his work on Heroin boards for a few years now, anyone who's had the pleasure of meeting the guy knows that he's one of the best human beings on the planet. I grew up skating with him around the streets of Manchester, he lived in London for a few years too and then eventually moved to Japan. Yesterday he sent me this amazing photo of his recent work, he's now doing graffiti, lord save us.

Here's a little edit that Brooks made for us using a few things that I filmed with Chris Ault this summer, obviously we're saving the best stuff that we got for his next video part so this is like his "Summer Offcuts" or something.

Our Casper just got back from new York where he met up with avante garde weirdo ripper and team-mate Colin Fiske.
Phil managed to get out and capture some shredding with these two. Here's a mini off-cut type thing giving you a rare chance to witness Fiskes team motivational skills.

Some Colin Fiske footage arrived this morning.
Never to do anything in the normal manner, this is how Colin's footage came.
I'm sure what is on the tape is just as unorthodox.

Hey Sorry for Lack of updates, been busy with loads of stuff. I've filmed a few bits of things during sessions that we've had recently and I'll try and get those up here soon, in the meantime I have a little interview on this little zine thing put out by Amnesia Skateboards in Australia.
Click Here.

Our friends Paddy and Carl spent a month in New York this summer.
While they were there they filmed a little clip with their mate Phil.
Check it out.
The song is by a band called the Mantels. So sick.

Heroin teamrider Chris Ault got a Heroin Tattoo on Friday.
Thanks to Marcus and all at Kids Love Ink Tattoo Deptford.
If you need a tattoo and happen to be in South East London go and see them, I designed a shirt for em and painted a wall of their shop too, they're all good folks down there, definitely Heroin approved.
Check their site www.kidsloveinkdeptford.co.uk

I know it says posted by Glass but this is Fos writing, honestly.
Glass is on holiday somewhere.

So, the new boards came in.
I'm beyond stoked on them.
Ault said "This is the best shape you've ever made"
If you ride big boards and are not afraid of a fluoro pink dipped board check out the 8.375 that we just did.
We're all stoked on em.

Colin Fiske and his mate Marty are over for a few weeks, filming for the new Heroin video and terrorising the streets. Footage to follow but there's a few snaps above to give you an idea of their M.O. in the meantime...

Our Very own Deer Man of Dark Woods got the cover of Concrete magazine. Check it out, Beyond Epic.

Filming for the new Heroin vid continues... While we're taking care of business our friends are fucking about on blocks. Here's Paddy Jones - he's got nice hair.

We put the new catalogue up!
Click on Arthur Tubb to the right to check it out.

New Pro Balls 2 boards out now!!
Even nastier than the first time, totally redrawn with more snot, maggots and slime.
Enjoy!


Hey Hey.

Hey, although it says at the bottom of the blog that Glass is posting, he isn't, this is Fos, Glass is on holiday with his missus.
I wanted to tell everyone that we finally got Heroin Bolts made!! I had this idea about four years ago to make Hardware and call them "Numb Nuts". I was banging on about it for ages but no-one thought i'd ever do it I don't think. Now finally, after a million delays and stuff, they've arrived!!
