A big thanks to Jozi photographer Lefa Ditshego for covering the recent House of Vans event for blunt. Lefa did an outstanding job, beautifully capturing the skateboarding, music, people, and scenes around the occasion.
Here are some of the music images he took at HOV.

A big thanks to Jozi photographer Lefa Ditshego for covering the recent House of Vans event for blunt. Lefa did an outstanding job, beautifully capturing the skateboarding, music, people, and scenes around the occasion.
Somehow this shot of Justus Kotze’s melon grab did not get added to the HOV skate gallery we recently published. It’s one of Lefa’s favourite shots from that day and we dig so we thought it would be a good idea to publish it as its own post.

A big thanks to Jozi photographer Lefa Tshidego for covering the recent House of Vans event for blunt. Lefa did an outstanding job, beautifully capturing the skateboarding, music, people, and scenes around the occasion.

Part of his brief was to capture some of the regular folk attending the event, the people who make up the fabric of Jozi street culture and reflect it back at us and without whom the scene would not exist. Here are just a few of the great portrait images he took at HOV.

Not only was Peter Aitken a legendary skater, but he was also an amazing graffiti artist. EYOS ( ) can be seen all over KZN and the Eastern Cape so think of him next time you see his big drippy letters around town. Peter was truly in his element when doing any form of art. Like skating, it was his happy place. Hope there’s loads of blank walls wherever you are. RIP 🕊️

In Memoriam: The KZN skate scene loses a legend – RIP Peter Aitken (19.10.1987 – 05.10.2024)🕊️🕊️

On the 18th of October 2024, family, friends, and colleagues gathered at the Durban Skatepark to celebrate the life of Peter Aitken— an absolute legend within the local skate community and graffiti scene.

Known as ‘Peet Skeet’, ‘Pete Skyf’, ‘Peter Pan’, and simply ‘P’ among many other affectionate nicknames, Peter was adored by all who knew him and will be sorely missed.

Our hearts go out to Pete’s family and friends 🕊️ the full memorial piece can be read in our online journal on our website.

blunt flashback Friday - Fokofopolisikar, 'Obsessively Focused' feature, blunt 9.3

Words and photos

Random Quote: While the Tuks deejays came on stage with bottles of bubbly to herald in 2005, no one screaming “Happy New Year” seemed to notice the band. They were three songs into their show, and as midnight rolled round and while the rest cheered (and drank) they seemed obsessively focused on tuning instruments, adjusting amps and getting ready to go at it again. And as soon as the crowd cleared the stage, they did, tearing into the rest of their set like a
four-year-old into the pile beneath a Christmas tree."

“You Got It by Clued Skateboarding drops heavy—straight from the streets of South Africa! From Cape Town to Jozi, Durban to the dusty backroads, this one’s packed with bangers, homie vibes, and raw spots that only SA can serve up. Featuring the one-and-only Saeed Waggie holding it down in the headliner, this vid’s a proper showcase of skate culture at its finest. Don’t sleep on it—lock in and get hyped!” Now on YouTube. Link in bio.

Caught a couple of quick lines with @byronrhoda at Battery Park recently. Kids on bikes and flying boards couldn't hold him back from putting a couple solid ones down.

Don't forget the Dolosfees Skate Competition 2023 at the Alkantstrand skate park next weekend September 30, last year’s comp was rad, this one will be even better. It goes down from 11 am.
