SKBSG NEWS UPDATES

We let the cat outta the bag that Daryl Angel got the pro nod from Habitat in his Roll Call interview in our March issue, and now Habitat has announced that Guru Khalsa has also been added to the pro ranks. Five pro model decks and a signature colorway will also be coming with Guru into pro-dom, so look for those to drop very, very soon.
Check some leftover footage from Guru’s part in Habitat’s upcoming video, Origin.



DVS’ fourth annual Copenhagen Pro Contest is coming up, so the gents at DVS compiled some street footage from last year, just to show how the shredfest spills out into the streets.

Agency Thursdays: Nate Broussard Day in the Life Part 1
This week’s installment features Hifi’s own Nate Broussard in the first of a two-part Day in the Life series.
