SlamTrick 2008 Freak Out!
Grab your skateboard and a couple of vintage teeshirts, place them into a bandana, a red one would be better, tie it up and hang it on a stick. Then start walking to the closer highway around and start hitchhiking..which way? Marina di Ravenna, Oasi Skatepark at Taverna Bukowski.
Slamtrick, freak out edition, will be under the hippie influence of English artist Fergadelic who gives his freaky view to the contest. Be ready to take out from your garage your vintage Renault 4 and 2 cheval and make them ready to be on the road on the 28th and the 29th of june for the freakin’coolest international skateboarding event.
Fergus Purcell aka Fergadelic is a London based artist who started his first commercial work for Slam City Skates when he was still at High School and kept on working for them even after graduation at Art School.
After few artworks for different brands he was involved into Silas from the begin and with their help he started his own brand called TONITE in 2001.
He is still continuing on that mission today and still love to draw, paint, sew and tattoo.

A horse in the garage
It’s understood since such a space was created…the garage. The origin of this word is unknown ( for me, at least ): greek, latin, celtic? Science has not been able to prove yet why the more people fill it with stuff, the more there’s space left to fill with other stuff.
