Sink Or Swim X Burro

May 27 2010 posted by Jack

so rad

Our good buddy and Team Burro rider, Zack Fortune aka Furoche is going on tour with the Misfits doing something or other and he wanted nothing less than a Burro Roll Top to take on the road. We saw the occasion as the perfect opportunity to do that collabo we’d always talked about with Zack’s apparel start-up, Sink or Swim. His website is still under development but you can see some more designs on his Flickr. We’re pretty stoked on the result.

Zack is printing us some extras that we’ll be putting in the store soon. Don’t even ask about getting the Misfits skull on your custom. Ain’t happenin’.

While he was at it, he went ahead and printed this messenger which we’ll be saving as a prize for Shark Week in Philly.

We’ll be sure to let you know when we get some more roll tops made. Just posted two other roll tops as well that are worth checking out.

New Hip Bag Colorways

new additions to the family

Just posted our new hip bag colorways for Spring/Summer 2010. Christopher Shinn came by with his shiny Canon 7D and took some rad pics that do the bags more justice than my little G9 point n shoot. Our new building provided the perfect backdrop for this shoot. So urban! Even in Jacksonville.

Sometimes you just don’t need to lug your messenger around with you. Our small hip bags are big enough to hold all the tools and supplies you really need for your daily ride. Spare tube, multi-tool, 15, cell phone, cigarettes, whatever.

The medium hip bag is a step up for those who need to carry a little extra. Fits two tall boys perfectly!

Head on over to the Hip Bag page and snatch one up!

TNT MKE. On twitter being an idiot and most of the time on the ground complaining about my “broken palm”.

Are you currently working on anything?
I’m working on a finishing up a WRAHW edit. Trying to film for a project that’s under wraps for right now, it’s going to be real good. Rails. Anddd trying to out-wit drew.

Done son!
