Universal Alchemy Trailer
Our jaws dropped to the floor after seeing Universal Alchemy’s new trailer!
These guy’s have been breakin all over New York City, picking out some dope landmarks. The fisheye lens almost gives this a skate video quality and really shows off the ability of the crew.
So if you like BBOY, you should be along to the UK BBOY Champioship World Finals this Sunday (OCT 16TH) at Brixton Academy.

The Big Smoke
Last weekend I went to London for ATD x Brassroots (1on1 Bboy Jam) & fun with the homies.
The Jam was ran and coordinated by EdwardSpoons & the music supplied LIVE by the amazing Brassroots (http://www.brassrootsmusic.com/) who are a 9 piece live brass band based in London. It was very refreshing to see this Jam, which originally started as a low-key monthly jam in Wakefield being brought to London & still maintaining its energy & positive vibes. Congratulations Raw-b (BTC) for the win & major shouts to the runner up BenJammin (Ghetlow Pirates) for representing hard on the night.
For the rest of my time in London I spent my time Shopping, drinking & people watching and in relation to my previous entry of what’s was trending in Edinburgh at the moment, London’s trends were completely different
Although Vans are still very popular I noticed a lot of people rocking Vintage Nike’s. I recommend these:
Nike Cortez Nylon
Nike Blazer Vintage Low
During my time in London I went to lots of cool places here’s a few places I recommend if you’re going:
Frank’s Cafe and Campari bar
A rooftop bar situated in Peckham was an amazing way to spend a sunny day in London just relaxing with reasonably priced beer and lots of friendly peoples.

Brick Lane
We went for a walk in Brick Lane, there’s loads of cool vintage shops, food stalls & street stalls selling everything even £1 plain tee’s (HYPE)
