Sorry about the lack of world wide web linking, I did some grown-ass man stuff and I’m back. This post is going to make up for the amount of links by the content stuffed sites that you will no doubt be entering whilst at work or after you stumble home from a liver workout.

Coastal Carnage – Sick, out of control, pool skating from a contest Converse put on in Cali. If you don’t look at any of these links, at least open this one.  C’mon open it up assclown.

Direction East – Henry Panza is a long time East Coast head that has a shop going. The promo vid looks good.

Adidas – Oh crap, another big shoe company. They just released an online video, Diagonal, with their world team. Pretty banging. Dennis Busenitz has a part that fucking kills.  Keep an eye on Chewy Canon and Lem Villemin, they’re on the come up!

Fecal Face – Get your art on. Don’t be afraid to click on it.

Closure - Dan Wolfe’s vid. It’s older by a couple of years but a classic. You need to re-watch it or get blessed for the first time.

Sk8Mafia – I know you think it’s some fake ass thugs, and you may be right to an extent but the am video is amazing. Wes Kremer destroys it hands down.

Welp, thats it. I know, I know, this is a lot of old shit. But it’s all good and should get you out in streets looking for untapped terrain. If your disappointed in this lagging ass update…eat a bowl o’ dick.

Black Bowl Battalion is a book of compiled skate photographs by Fred “El Gato Negro” Ferand. He hails from Bordeaux, France, and thoroughly documents some of sickest pool thrashing they have to offer, which by the way, is a lot burlier than you might expect. Read more about Ferand and his work in this interview, take a look at his most recent photos on flickr, and for crying out loud, check out this book!

Our friends at American Misfits (on Fuel TV) will be coming through Richmond/DC on August 19th or 20th. We’ll be helping them find the cool shit and setting up an thrash jam session. Details on all of that noise ASAP.

Also, for anyone who wants a paper copy of the magazine but doesn’t live near a shop that carries it, check out the issues page for details on getting Born Ugly in print.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Issue #2 Launch Jam this past Sunday. It was a fun day and ended exactly like the first Launch Jam… with a ridiculous downpour after three hours of awesome weather. If you’ve got any photos from the day shoot them to holler [at] bornuglymag [dot] com. Here are a couple random shots from the day.
