Antihero skateboards do it again 'Arbitrary Function'
Share
All I wanted for Christmas was more Grant Taylor footage! Like a scabby Santa, Antihero skateboards came through and dropped a video bomb just in time for the festive season. Like their last full-lengther Destination Unknown, 2019's Antihero skateboard's release came in the form of a completely unheralded 15-minute banger. In an age where people rarely go to the bog without teasing their toilet decision on Instagram for a month beforehand, it's immensely refreshing to see that Antihero still have the bollocks to just drop a video as heavy as Implosionistic tendencies: Arbitrary Function with almost zero pre-hype. The reason? Well, they just don't need to hype it up first. It's Antihero, it's going to be sick! Established in 1995 by early street skating pioneer and one time Santa Monica Airlines and Underworld Element pro skater Julien Stranger, Antihero skateboards appeared at a pivotal time in skateboarding's development away from the inward-looking overly-technical skateboard scene of the early 1990's. Emerging from under the Deluxe umbrella, from the outset Antihero represented the raw underbelly of skateboarding and offered a pure vision of what being a skateboarder meant - regardless of trends or perceived rules. Their inaugural video release 'Fucktards' (1997) featuring the original team of Julien Stranger, Sean Young, John Cardiel, Eric J and Bob Burnquist firmly established an aesthetic that showcased every style of skating from vert to street and focused on the grimier aspects of the culture. Anti Hero skateboards' instantly recognisable graphical output followed in the same vein with memorable graphics from the likes of Todd Francis (amongst many others) that celebrate the underbelly of the American dream and revel in the realities of street trash, political corruption, vagrancy and the darker side of life. As the brand grew, the team changed but the underlying philosophy did not - hit the road and skate everything and anything that you encounter. Antihero's video releases to date are numerous and include classics such as: Fucktards (1997) Cow (1998)Two Songs (2002)Cash Money Vagrant (2003) Bonus Footage (2006) and their full-length video Destination Unknown (2014) released in customary fashion with absolutely zero advertising beforehand to worldwide acclaim. Here's the timeless 1997 Fucktards in full just to remind you why this Antihero skateboards is now, and always will be, the shit. When you've done that - take your fingers for a stroll over to our webstore and fill your boots as we've loads of Antihero merchandise online and ready to roll.
