Here's the word up: Amid the never-ending mission to find the next adventure comes a snowboard film that opens doors to the possibilities. Dedicated to everything snowboarding, Travis Rice and a dream team crew set out on a seek-and-destroy operation for the new zone, the new trick and the new perspective on the sport. New Zealand, Valdez, B.C., Munich, Tokyo, Jackson Hole and deeper…seen in a new light with action that leaves you wondering, how did they do that? Aspiring to bring you closer, the Hi Def, 35mm, super 16 footage answers the question why TRice and his friends have poured blood, sweat, tears and soul into a simple thing like snowboarding.

Rabid punk fans of the 70’s created fan ‘zines to connect and share the underground scene of aggro music that as invading the brains and souls of the youth.
Influenced by punk ‘zines, skaters created their own ‘zines in the 80’s and adapted the cut and paste, guerilla photocopier techniques to express their skate experience in ink and acetone. Skull Skates was smack in the middle of the burgeoning culture and in addition to collecting skate ‘zines, produced their own ‘zines “The Daily Grind”, “Planet Skul” and “Big Dump”. The Skull Soup graphic was created using a photocopier technique to manipulate images into swirling, interlocking and inverted patterns.
In their second collaborative effort C1RCA and Skull Skates are stoked to present the Skull Skates vs. C1RCA Shoe Version 2.0, featuring the infamous Skull Soup graphic applied to the C1RCA 8-Track shoe. Available in any colour you like, as long as it’s jet black with dead white graphics. Buy it now In Stores and Online at www.sourceboards.com
