Another real tight production, this time by all round good dude, Geoff Campbell. SECKY PRESH is based in Melbourne, with huge list of crew hitting up a bunch of real hard to hit, security saturated spots. There's not much around in terms of a trailer and all that, but that shouldn't stop you getting stoked on some real relevant Australian skateboarding.
We'll be putting on a showing on the big screen out back, in store, pizza and beers, good times expected - FRIDAY 17th FEB, say 6pm. See you there!
If you're like most, and appreciate getting the stuff you're stoked on cheaper than you normally would (who isnt?), then we suggest you pencil in a visit to us sometime between the 6th and the 11th of February.
And don't start thinking its some catch to get you in, and all we've discounted is a handful of tees that have been around for the last two years. Storewide means everything in store. Past seasons stuff and the current. We're putting everything in store at a discount, certain products more than others, but everything will be cheaper.
Brands include:
HUF, ANIMAL, ALTAMONT, PASSPORT, EMERICA, SKAVENGER, BUTTER, STACKS, S&M...ect
The time has come for our good mates HIGHTIME to 'officially' release their debut album 'Ishi Prende'. We've had the album on high rotation in store, everyone's stoked on it, so all thats left is to throw the party. Huge props to these guys, they've been behind everything we've done, played nearly all our shindigs, good people, awesome band.
Get down to this - everytime Hightime play, its so much fun. This show will go off like a frog in a sock, no doubt. Especially with more amazing local bands to back these guys up. Support local, show them some love and have a rad time doing it. See you there!
COLLECT MAGAZINE is an amazing local production, ticking all the boxes for everything we're stoked on when it comes to culture, creativity and the message. Focusing on real qualtiy and craftsmanship and giving everyone an understanding that we too need to focus on what we are apart of.
"...re-emphasising the
importance of community."
This new video by the editors Josh and Adam, put together by FILMSTRAITS is a look into the core of what these guys are pushing to achieve with COLLECT. Watch it, learn from it, enjoy it.
We too, have always attempted to push a message through what we do at TFT, some say its too full on, we say its important. Important to know who you are interacting with, why you're spending your hard earned on the stuff you buy and who you are supporting when you do it.
Thanks to Josh and Adam, COLLECT magazine and everyone involved for being a part of a strong message. We're proud to be stocking COLLECT - next time you are in store definately grab a copy, $5 done and dusted. We back this all the way.
The first of three videos by Leigh Bolton, Slice of Life Volume One, is on it's way. Watch the teaser if you havent already -
Amazing DVD featuring George Simmonds, Marty Girotto, and Tommy Fynn. Also included in the mix is a 20 page booklet with photos and stories about the project. We've gone and organised the premiere for all you Adelaide dudes, so come get stuck in.
Friday night, the 13th of January, in store. We'll grab a few pizzas, crack a few crew brews and enjoy! Volume 1 will be for sale on the night, and for only $15 you cant go wrong. Unless you use it as a throwing star. Facebook event HERE. Flyer below...
Big thanks to EVERYONE DISTRIBUTION for getting behind these projects. Book it in!
Speechless. There are so many good people around us. Genuine, positive, creative people, and the more we meet like-minded, quality individuals the bigger and better this community keeps growing. We said it on the night, what we are ALL apart of would not and could not, be the same without everyone getting amongst it.
Twenty Fifty-Two would like to say a huge thanks, a cheers, to everyone thats been a part of this over the last two years. A thank you to the crew, our skateboarding brethren and bmx bandits who have really taken the time to get to know us, see who we really are and then not only support us for it, but become our close friends. You guys are doing it, and you should be stoked to be able to do what you do everyday. We appreciate everything you've done.
A thanks to the bands we've had play at the store throughout the year, and easpecially at the two year party, ANTE UP!, PATRIACHAL DEATH MACHINE, DR. PIFFLE, CRATERFACE, DICKWOLF, STUFFBOX, and of course HIGHTIME. It was never about one thing for us. We all love music, the more local and the more live the better. If you've never been to see a local band play you need to get on it. Buy a CD and some merch, get involved.
This isn't a popularity contest for us, this is what we love to be a part of and we value it everyday. We know who we are, we know what we want to create, and we also know why we like hanging out with all of you crazy dudes. If you bought something, hung out at the store, thrown a high five, been to a local show, shared a laugh - thank you, because you are awesome.
Two years! Fucking Cheers!
All party photography by ALEX KWONG. Look him up, pay him to take photos for you, he is at everything, and not for any amount of cash, but because he loves what he does. Check his blog HAPPY618 and hit him up on facebook.
Andre C. is the best dude. That's not some bullshit cliche, "yeah, he's cool, cos he does stuff in the scene" kind of thing - he is a genuine, creative and hard working dude. What Dre has done for Adelaide skateboarders has been influential. A lot of skaters from Adelaide have been given a lot of spotlight just because of Dre's hard work and massive amounts of skill behind the camera.
By the looks of things, this gallery showing is going to give a bit back to man behind the lens. A lot of crew are getting down to MAGAZINE GALLERY, and so should you. This will be a rad night, we're so stoked for Dre, hell yeah buddy! FRIDAY 16th December (tonight), kicking off some time around 6pm til 10ish.
DO THIS! See you there.
Insert cliche about how fast this year has gone. We're two years old, its Christmas, the weather is awesome and we're stoked to have a little break. We'll be closing the doors as of Xmas eve (24th dudes, come on...) and re-opening after new years, on Tuesday the 3rd of January.
So if you need anything to keep you rolling after Christmas make sure you get in BEFORE the 24th of December to get sorted.
Any ONLINE friends looking to get anything for the Christmas break, you guys will need to hit us up a bit earlier to leave time for packing and delivery. We wont be sending any orders out as of Monday the 19th of December. So make sure you get your orders in no later than that weekend.
STORE OPEN HOURS FOR CHRISTMAS:
SUNDAY 18th - CLOSED
MONDAY 19th - 10am to 6pm

WEDNESDAY 21th - 10am to 6pm
THURSDAY 22th - 10am to 6pm
FRIDAY 23th - 10am to 8pm
SATURDAY 24th - 10am to 3pm
We'll be hanging around on Christmas eve, keeping it easy, expect the sausage sizzle to be in full effect, beers a plenty, feel free to come and get merry!
And to anyone looking to steal all our shit this year, the store will be cleared out with everything going into storage on lockdown. Dear theives. Get fucked.
Merry Christmas!
The definition of insanity is repeating yourself expecting the same result. We like to learn something new, take a different path and create new shit all the time. So we made some new store tee's. And we're pretty stoked on how they came up. Whatever we create we want it to represent what we're all about or who we are and hopefully give everyone (new friends and old ones) something you can be stoked on.
"Never be Bought & Sold" - we're not into selling the most, making millions and using other people to get there. What we make we put back in. If we wanted to make big money we'd be astronauts or radiologists. Culture can''t be bought!
Life is for living, we do it everyday - plus to a select few in society we're all like roaches...Exist or live?
We hand screenprinted these suckers, using waterbased inks to keep it healthy for the world, and printed on the best fitting tees around, AAA's! With a massive cheers to our underground dungeon dwelling screenprinting friends...
Limited numbers to keep it fresh - no one wants to be rocking the same clothes as everyone else....do they? Maybe thats just us...
ONLINE if you're an out of town friend, or on the shelves if you're hanging around next.
Get stuck in!
Skateboarding has the ability to bring people together, to form communities and to create some stories. People come and go for a whole bunch of reasons, got married, chose a career or lost the drive to keep skating. But sometimes a scene can lose someone that it never expected to lose.
The effect on everyone who knew Ronnie has been heavy. Some dudes skated with him all the time, other crew looked up to him but almost everyone who hung out with him has a story, something that has always stuck with them. His passing has affected so many people, including us.
This Sunday the 13th of November is RIP FOR RONNIE. The locals have put together a day to remember Ronnie, pay respects and skate in the memory of an Adelaide local and friend. Get down to Golden Grove skatepark, bring some cash and shred for a good cause. There's going to be a bunch of stuff to raise some money for Ronnie's family, plus a few small comps that Ronnie would have won hands down every time.
Everything is for a good cause - to bring this community together and remember the good times.
Rest in peace Ronnie.
