Dominik Gührs, Felix Georgii and Dominik Hernler just changed the game of wakeboarding forever. Instead of being towed behind a boat, the riders are hauled by a floating port crane around a Croatian harbor. If that's not enough, the massive vessel pulls the riders as they flip, slide, and glide through a 360° container course that they designed themselves.

It was to be the biggest ramp ever. Massive in size, bursting with features that may or may not work, and designed by a bunch of kids, the Chin Ramp was legend. Built over the course of a week by Tim Payne, the ramp was built where it was supposed to be. That gave the Bones Brigade a little over a week to skate it before it was gone forever. Long live the Chin.

With his sexist and racist remarks, Donal Trump has made himself an easy target for a Russian feminist-punk band. Being no stranger to political controversy, it's not surprising that Pussy Riot has some thoughts on the matter. The group puts the GOP candidate on blast by imagining the days following the election with him as president. Not a pleasant sight. The single ifsthe third to come off their xxx EP, due out this Friday.
Six degrees of Tarantino. From the distinctive style and ever-present trunk shots, to worn out records and Red Apple smokes, everything is related. Beyond the Frame takes the Tarantino library and cuts it all together to show the connections behind the family of Tarantino characters.
Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.
Originally released in 1982, the aptly named Nike Field General was originally designed for wear by pro quarterbacks. While we doubt we'll see any current QBs rocking them anytime soon, they are a solid choice for casual wear. The upper is a mix of durable textile and suede, with a touch of leather used for the heel cap and Swoosh. A foam midsole offers reasonable comfort, while the nubby Waffle sole provides outstanding grip, and might make these a sleeper choice for wear on the golf course. A variety of colorways range from subtle to bold, ensuring there's a version of the retro silhouette to fit your style.
The breakout hit from the Duff Brothers is still fresh on everyone's mind, especially after the announcement of a second season. With little known about what's to come, all we can do is speculate. Animator Leigh Lahav and writer Oren Mendez have their own ideas and imagine it plays out something like the Charles M. Schulz holiday special. In this Peanuts/Stranger Things mashup, Charlie Brown and the gang are turned into Will, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven shortly after Will's return from the Upside Down, and the results are near perfection.
South Park has been terrorizing parents and the FCC with foul language. But lost in the initial outrage by those purporting to uphold the non-existant good ol' days was the reflection of the reality around that South Park has captured so well. Kaptain Kristian makes a convincing case that the censorship barriers that South Park broke down could very well have helped to usher in our current Golden Age of television.
