BLAST Wallpapers – Keepin’ it fresh for 2010

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

We will be cranking out wallpapers for your desktop & Iphone enjoyment in 2010.  Our site is currently being overhauled to reflect our new look and feel for 2010.  Not only will we be compiling flip books full of fresh content; friends, riders and artists alike will be sharing some of their experiences and work right here as we keep it fresh for 2010.  Thanks again for supporting BLAST in it’s first year in the world of wakeskating.  We extend our gratitude to everyone who has been involved and has contributed in making this a reality; those companies, riders, artists, professionals, and friends know who they are.  Due to launch sometime in January, we will also be offering a few BLAST soft good items once the new site is up and running.  Issue 1.2 will be released just after the new year, issues 1.3 and 1.4 will be compiled and released in the spring and summer months of 2010.  We wish you a Happy New Year and look forward to expanding and improving this project as we move forward.  Even though the new year is still a couple of days away we wanted to go out in style for 2009.  Enjoy the work of Mike Shore with this shot of Colton Voswinkel.

Threyda is a new clothing and art company working hard in the Wakeskate industry with some new up and coming riders. Check out THREYDA.COM and grab some of the dope products they have to offer: art, blown glass, and apparel. Also, check out their new ad in the release of Blast 1.2 coming end of this month!
frontpage
Threyda’s Family of athletes is a talented group of people involved in some of the newest and most expressive sports the world has to offer. Just like our visual artists, they are pushing their craft in a new direction and introducing their own unique styles. The sports we sponsor are art forms in themselves, and each athlete takes on a true artistic manipulation of reality through their craft. The people on our team represent the positive spirit and influence we hold in high regard. We look to a bright future with anticipation of watching our family of athletes help their respective sports evole and leave something behind that will have a lasting impact.

Skate + Create: D.I.Y. America

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

With comments from artists and creators, the idea of skate & create carries over to wakeskating and illustrates the approach to individuality with regards to the development of skateboarding and its artists.  I hope this powerful series from Wieden+Kennedy Entertainment inspires all of us (as apart of wakeskating) to become more creative with our riding, photography, production, and art…

Skate and Create explores the strange hybrid of skateboarding and creativity. In part one of our first episode we explore the fundamental basics of this connection, speaking to skate/music/film icons such as Tony Hawk, Thurston Moore, Jason Lee, Shepard Fairey and others. The second half gets into the subject of “outsiderness” and how both skateboarders and ?artists find a surrogate family based on their mutual alienation.
