"This is the documentary of the realization of Dad's dream to cruise the West Coast in one of his custom hot rods: a 1930 Model A Coupe with a Miller OHV system and carburetor. He's fixed up cars since he was a little boy, and always loved the coastline of CA."

"No one else will ever give birth through a piece of Damian Hirts Art."

Directed by Ryan Hope, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, and a film that tests the boundaries of art and the human body. 

Featuring contributions from Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon, the film is a beautiful visual essay from the frontiers of contemporary British art. 

Skin was made by Stamp London in association with Garage Magazine to mark the launch issue, and was made possible by the generosity of Christie's, the world's leading art business, and W Hotels.

"Documentary of Speed Scotland and their attempt to break the 300+mph club out at Speed Week 2011. In order to attempt this, Speed Scotland has to prepare months in advance to have the car ready to be shipped out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Speed Week is the only time of the year that they can race the car and provides a steep challenge."

Josh Clason has done it again. We met each other during SEMA, and it was too bad I we both had such a tough schedule ...

Update.

A day after I wrote this post I met Alex(andra) Lier. Some may know Alex for her amazing book "Speedseekers" (if you don't — order it now!), others for her deep passion for all kinds of racing, especially salt lake racing. When Alex saw my post, she told me she was taking pictures of the streamliner while Josh was shooting the video.

It's a small world ...

Ok. Now — as Chip Foose romanticizes his Golf MKII GTi — I don't feel so bad anymore our beaten-up family jalopy is a black Volkswagen Golf MK IV 4dr.

Somebody against it? Think twice — otherwise I'll call Chip for help!

Good to see Volkswagen picked AWOL.TV to represent their German Engineering.

I you are – as I am – slightly bored by this flood of glossy slo-mo drift videos with dub- or techstep soundtracks and all those shiny new FCP X effects – eat this.

Phil, please STOP sending me your Crank & Piston videos. They make me go green with envy ...

"Asked about the essence of motorcycling, Copenhagen local Per Nielsen will keep his answer fittingly short and clean; in fact, he will say no more than a single word at first: “Presence.” 

His crew The Wrenchmonkees has long established itself as a commanding force and seminal presence in the world of stainless steel and powerful engines. Internationally known for their matchless custom motorcycle creations, Per explains his search for the ultimate road beast and presents his very own thoughts and feelings about “Motorcycle Maintenance”. 

Linking their shared love for skateboarding, DIY culture, rock & roll, the sound of engines going, and clean shapes, the Copenhagen-based crew never cared so much about extreme performance, loud colors or the latest designs; instead, they are interested in “the basic expression of life on a motorbike”. 

In short: these guys focus on unique machines, a clean, raw and no-frills aesthetic, and ultimately a timeless experience on two wheels."
