The Hype Train

Typical Culture presents "The Hype Train" a D.I.Y. based skateboarding
film by Zack Dowdy. Taking it back to the basics with tents, concrete,
dirt, tools, and a group of 100% skateboarders dedicated to mashing all
the time. Based out of San Diego, Calif. Featuring Chris Gregson, Greg
Zamarripa, Luis Sedano, Chris Russell, Zack Dowdy, Brendan Keaveny,
Connor Getzlaff, Josh Stafford, Little Chris, and more. 

The Hype Train is a crew of skateboarders that managed to find each-other
in Southern California. When everyone (The Hype Train) is together and
the wheels start turning - everybody starts pushing their limits, going for
the thrill seek. Taking skateboarding back to the basics, trying things we
never even imagined. All because we push each other, and this vibe runs
deep in the Hype Train, making it impossible to see anything impossible.

Premiering January 24th 2013 - At La Paloma Theater - Encinitas, Calif.

D.I.Y.

Since last year there has been a major increase in the building of D.I.Y. skate spots. It's a really exciting time for skateboarding for the fact that homies worldwide are empowering themselves to put down some un-hampered terrain the way they want it. Rather than wait to have some half-bullshit concrete to be laid by the council, only to find a plague of dummy scooter kids occupying every inch, every single day (I still find it hard to fathom this epidemic), they do it themselves. Kingpin Magazine and Carhartt teamed up (thanks to Alex Irvine & Daryl Nobbs) to shed some light on this sub-culture of skateboarding through a series of shorts entitled 'Set In Stone'. From England to much of Europe, there are some seriously dedicated folk out there proving that there is more to skateboarding than rolling around the place. I've tacked onto the end a place we built called 'Fox Spot' at the same time these projects were going off...enjoy and go build!
