The World premiere for the new Cliche film, ‘Cle‘ happening in Lyon on the 5th of December for anyone that happens to be in Europe. If not, here is a teaser and a fingers crossed they release it for free on the website like they have with most of their other film projects. Judging by the teaser there is a fair bit of Aussie content so there is the justification for the post. Click the pic for the teaser.
We’ve seen ‘The Fantasy Factory‘ in photo and video over the last few weeks. Now lets have a look at Ryan Shecklers new private “office” courtesy of the Etnies site. It’s awesome. Now because everyone like to rip on Sheckler here goes… MGMT, original choice of music. With all those bald heads and black and red it kind of looks like a Hitler youth group clubhouse. It’s all love though, I’m just jealous.
The greater Geelong area are on point with the contest action over the next month. First off, is the the Element and Greenroom sponsored Day Of The Shred which is happening this weekend @ Ocean Grove skate park. All the details are on the flyer above, my favorite part is where it says BBQ. Then the Def Snow Jam in December. Get down to Ford town.
Following in the footsteps of the uber-successful EA Skate, Nintendo Wii and DS are getting ready for the release of Skate It. On the Wii platform the game can be played with a balance board which would make it like virtual skateboarding… I guess. It just kind of reminds me that scene from The Simpsons where Bart ends up in a virtual bar fight after an altercation with a guy playing virtual darts whilst playing virtual pool. There is a tidy preview of the game here for those who want to check it out. The game is available on the 20th.
Quiksilver’s Viva Prahran contest is on today and here’s some shots from mid-way through the day. Unfortunately I had to leave the contest early cause it’s my sisters birthday (happy birthday Di!) but there’s a few shots under the cut from around the place. I’ll get together some better shots from the finals and the high ollie contest for Monday. Enjoy!
Kerry Fisher at Nike emailed me the third web clip in a series being released by the Aus team. The clip features Glen Wignall, Brad McDermott, Nathan Jackson, Nick Boserio and Corbin Harris. Click here to view the clip.
This is just a reminder that the 2008 Viva Prahran Contest is happening this Saturday (November 15th). There’s cash up for grabs, a high ollie contest and plenty more happenings. If you’re in Victoria, I hope to see you there!
About a week ago I posted some photos of the facility that will house Rob Dyrdeks’ new MTV show, Fantasy Factory. Once again, DC have beat me to the punch with the exclusives, a video tour of said facility. How do these sneaky bastards do it? Again, I have no idea what the premise of the show is, but the set up is amazing. Now I just need to weave some journalistic magic to get a guided tour.

For those of you that have got your copies of issue 10, you will have seen the headwear feature which starts on page 79. Through the feature we had quotes from some of the owners, designers and marketing guys behind these labels. To get these quotes I actually fired off a few questions to each one and some of them came back with some brilliant answers! Click below the cut to get a laugh and be inspired to do your own labels by the nicest guys in headwear…
