Cliché Skateboards and the Résumé Book and Board Series
October 27th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Cliché Skateboards have come a long way since 1997 when Jérémie Daclin started the company up with just about nothing. 2009 and it’s a completely different ballgame with an internationally renowned team, top videos and expansion around the globe. Putting all of the history behind this amazing development is the brand new 320-page book entitled “Résumé“, written by Mackenzie Eisenhour and art directed by the ill Studio in Paris.
The high quality hardback book will be available this Christmas 2009 and around the same time a special limited series of seven decks will be hitting the market as well. Looking good and the future of this team as well – hope to get my hands on a copy of this book soon!

BAILGUN Magazine 8.2 and a new book!
February 15th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
The winter came quickly and quite harsh in Germany – most of Europe to be straight about it. Through other factors in my life I have been missing out on a few events and meeting up with people in the last couple of months but as always, you can change what you are doing can’t you?
I finally got around to checking out fellow skater and photographer friend Gerd Rieger’s website “Bailgun” again and it turns out he’s been busy as hell lately. He’s put out issue 8.2 of Bailgun Magazine which features Claus Grabke’s band and The Picturebooks on tour – great photos and a skate legend on stage, really really good!
And besides that Gerd has put together an amazing book with more than 250 pages of skateboarding, portraits, still life shots, landscapes and general snapshots…..featured skaters are: Anders Tellen, Neil Blender, Jürgen Horrwarth, Matt Grabowski, Natas Kaupas, Ben Krahn, Daniel Cardone, Renton Millar,
Bernt Jahnel, Trevor Ward, Sascha Müller and many more. Get it here while you can!
