Getter 'Popout' Back Pack

From Their Urban Collection

Eastpak has kindly given us a backpack for our Street Test. 

We have been putting our featured backpack through it's paces just recently and it has stood up remarkably well.

A few weeks back we hit a hotel with the Fauna Graphic Crew, splashed some paint on a wall with Danny KJ; hit the trails on the mountain bike and thoroughly mudded up the bag but with a cloth and some mild detergent it washed up a treat and was ready for a city coffee shop meeting with our decerning artist friends who always have positive things to say about it's vibrant colour scheme. 

It has also been lugged about to numerous shows and exhibitions and has withstood dusty alleys, fence drops and general after dark activities... God that sounds ominous don't it! With it's brilliant yellow interior it is always easy to find that concealed cap or marker that you would normally only find in a standard dark interior backpack after you had dumped all the contents of the bag onto the floor first. You can fit 15 spray cans into the bowels of the bag and walk 2 miles to the next paint venue without any back prodding or discomfort.

As for skateboards, it holds a standard 8 inch with ease and will carry, we estimate, at least six Tech Decks safely. Super!

Tech Deck support!

Maverick Slacklines. Relentless Energy Drink. Product Test

Maverick Slacklines

+

Relentless Energy Drinks

Firstly:

A big thanks goes out to Maverick Industries for throwing us a Slackline and letting us give it a go.

Also thanks goes out to Relentless who threw in some refreshments for the afternoon, tins of "Devotion Berry Juiced Energy", which kept us focused and sparkling for the whole day.

The Slackline Experience:

It comes with its own nylon bag so the line and ratchet fits neatly into a small backpack so as not to scrape your precious ipod or knocking the lid off a spray can and filling your bag to the brim with gold paint and fumes.

The idea is to strap it between two trees - make sure you have some padding between the tree and line. We got some cheap foam which was light to carry and padded things out well. Use the rachet system to pull it down tight.

Then when you want a break from the busy skate park, get people hyped by walkin the slackline and throwing in a front flip, or bum bounce back to line and you will have your chums rubbin their eyes in disbelief.

It was well user friendly and within a few hours even the ol Rad guy was walkin the line. A bunch of kids threw off their runners and walked it bare foot - with the support of a friendly shoulder by their side. Also a guy named John just couldn't keep off it and ended up helping us pack away, he was that impressed.

Overall impression:

If you wana try something different, and use the core balance you've gained from skate boarding, then it's defo worth a try... and we nearly forgot to mention, if your going to fall, 50 cms ain't that harsh a blow, especially if it's set up on the grass!

Relentless Devotion Experience:

Everyone that tried out the S/line got a tinny of refreshment. This Berry flavour hit the spot, the day was hot with a still wind, so knockin back a few to keep hydrated was the name of the game.

Also on a stealth graff bomb the Relentless blended in nicely with the spray cans and tasted alot better then the paint fumes.

Check a few images below.

Very big thanks to both companies for their support, now go see um☋
