Video Break: Miles Mathia for Elevated Engineering

June 05 2010 posted by Jack

edit from G-ville

Miles is killing it in this edit he did with Elevated Engineering, a clothing company out of Gainesville. Miles is our most local rider and also rides for our good friend Lex’s handmade bicycle operation, Villin Cycles. We’ve been huge fans of Lex and his work for years so when we heard he was developing a trick track bike, we had to get in on the action and combine his amazing builds and attention to detail with the awesome power of Burro Pedal Straps.

EE did a nice write up of Miles with some pics of his gorgeous bike. You really need to check it out!

So watch this video of Miles tearing shit up on the sleepy streets of Alachua County and see for yourself what down-home Northeast Florida engineering can do! Man, that boy can move in some tight spaces!

Damn right, Trick Track Ain’t A Crime!

New Limited Pedal Straps!!!

June 04 2010 posted by Jack

new strizzaps!

The first batch of limited billboard straps sold out quick. It’s been far too long, but we’re back with a new set. These were cut from a MOCA Jacksonville banner and are available in pink/white, lime/black and coming soon electric blue/black. As always, all the patterns will vary slightly but that just makes them unique ya turkeys! Peep them shitz!

Sorry homie but those red/black splatters are only available at The Letter Shop, our home-base here in the Bangem!

Also, just built up these brand new Premium GNAR Straps that look about as sick as they come.

Every run is uber-limited y’all so grab em while you can!

Eyes Wide Awake X Burro

another collabo

Jacksonvillians will no doubt be familiar with mastermind behind our latest collaborative effort. Chad Landenberger is the dude-bro responsible for what has been quite possibly the most ill annual Art Walk event, the I’m Board Skateboard Art Show. Homeboy even designed our first logo so suffice it to say we go waaaaay back.

Patrick at Pedal Consumption hit us up a while back to contribute a prize bag for the Totally Spoked event in Portland. He was impressed by some of the Artist Series bags we’ve done in the past and wanted something like that. Chad has contributed to the project before and was more than willing to help out. The animal bust stencils he’s made were one of the first things I saw of his and each one has been awesome. For the bag, the wolf was the best fit. Chris put his own touch on it adding black tweed to the double front pockets and shoulder strap. This one is one-of-a-kind but I think we’ll be seeing some more of Chad’s work on Burro Bags in the future. What y’all think?

Check out more of Chad’s work at Eyes Wide Awake.

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.
