New Brand JSLV

So we are trying to keep things fresh around here. Always looking for the next brand for you to wear. Covert is stoked to be the first in Orlando to bring you JSLV (jus live). We had our eye on this for a second. They are making moves with a clean logo / tees and denim. We just got hit with a couple tees today. There will be more in the coming weeks. Peep there site for more information. JSLV

September NIKE SB

New Nike sb has hit the floor. September has some heat.

FRESH JIVE 2 Thanks Kanye

So Kanye came thru in a big way last night at the VMA. Our man has perfect timing. We just got this KANYE tee on the shelf today. Fresh Jive tees are good for a laugh or making people feel uncomfortable. Covert likes to push buttons. Below are more pictures. Hope you like.

Fresh Jive Fall 1

We got FRESh JIVE delivery 1 and 2. Here is delivery 1. Its all about SEX, DRUGS, Political and Social Dissent. Make a fucking stand for once in your life. If its all going down on 2012 then you might as well wear something with a message. Im off the soap box now, back to the goods. There are tees with references to the Pornographic weekly called SCREW. Here is some history. Wikipedia SCREW and a blog dedicated to the art work from SCREW The cult following of FOUND magazine has also made it in to the line this season. FOUND Im out before this gets to winded.

Fresh Jive Propagandist

Just a quick post to remind people to peep the Fresh Jive site on the regular. The post up today is about Tasers and how fucking lame they are... Anyway the new Fall Jive stuff looks great. I will check it in and take pictures shortly. Here are a couple pics I took from the Fresh Jive store. But that does not mean go buy it from them. Come to COVERT first Please...

Who Got that ED HARDY

I got turned on to this blog called IGNORED PRAYERS Its a pretty awesome blog to waste time on. Its filled with random pictures and videos. A few pages deep I saw this hip hop track by Dirt Nasty from Dyslexic Speed-readers. The track is dissing the fuck out of ED HARDY clothing. I see people wearing ED in Covert sometimes, It makes me laugh because that shit is rotten. Seriously rotten. I like to think Covert and our sister BETA are here to keep you informed on what is legit. Im not sure how old the track is but the VON DUTCH line is the best.....BTW VON DUTCH was the ED HARDY 6 years ago. Can we please stop supporting crappy clothes sold in way to many stores. Thanks Billy for the blog info.

VOTE for GARRETT

Yo this just in. Our new team rider Garrett Miller is up against CJ Dixon on Focus Magazine's FACE OFF FRIDAY. Here is the link. FACE OFF We got a late start on voting so go to the page look to the right and Vote for Garrett. Ok lets get on it we cant let little homey go out like that... Peace.

HUF Fall 2009

HUF fall 2009 has hit the shelves. Here are some pictures we took from High Snobiety which they took from HUF. We are really pleased to be carrying the brand in Covert. The t-shirts are really clean. The New Era and Brick 5 panels definitley work. But the Hoodys are my favorite. We got them in back, waiting until the weather to changes. If you must have one now just let us know and we will grab it for you. Here is an interview from HypeBeast and some footy from the DVS video "Skate More"

The Longer Of The Short.

Yeah, I posted this before. Oh wait, that was the short version. This is the extended version with Koston, Bryant & Mountain. Nice behind the scenes shorts included in the related videos at the end.

And yes, I know Mountain was is in the previous edit I posted but it's so quick that I didn't pick up on it. Even though I watched like 50 times. I think I was so stuck by Ice Cube doing this that all the other cool stuff in this video just got blocked out.

Altamont Bill Owens

New Altamont hit the shelves a couple weeks ago. The Bill Owens tees are sick. Here is a link to the Altamont site.
Watch the video. Peep the line. Come back to the shop and purchase a t-shirt. Altamont

July NIKE SB

I need to apologize for slacking on the blog. So now you are going to get blasted with new posts. Anyway here are the NIKE pictures. Its pretty self explanatory. We also got re-ups on the Janoskis and Dunk low griptape.

Robert Lopez Mont makes the DEW TOUR

Congrats to our team rider Robert Lopez Mont for qualifying for the rest of the DEW TOUR stops. Robert was also picked to be in the Transworld Best trick contest. He totally had that that shit until Jordan Hoffat pulled a big spin heel on the back board. Regardless Robert was throwing down BIG tricks and was turning heads. The video below is from the Transworld website. Peep best trick. They didnt get the kickflip 50/50 on the backboard. (which was so sick).. All the judges were really impressed with Robert's style. He really turned some heads. Watch out for Robert he is going to be knocking dudes out on tour. After the summer is over everybody will know who he is.

LA is BLOWN OUT!

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME.

I'm not one to advocate violence in any way shape or form. But really some people only respond to it. This is one of those cases. It also brings up something my brother once said to me, "If you act like a bitch, you get treated like a bitch".

Nike Comes Correct!

The pockets at Nike go deep! So deep, so deep I put her butt to sleep.

Everything You Do Has Already Been Done.

Killing it dead. Just a little head nod to one of the greatest talents to ever grace the stunt wood. He pretty much invented every trick you've ever done.

COVERT VIDEO

Not to be out done by the Nike DEBACLE video yesterday.(below) Here is the long awaited heavily anticipated COVERT Skate Shop video. It is available for download here. Covert Video

Its been such a pain in the ass. Let me tell you. Tons of Lost footage, Computer Crashes, Multiple filmers and editors. Punk kids hi jacking footy. Ryan Nix getting the camera stolen in Miami was a real heartbreaker. Marco's new footage being recorded in some European standard that isn't compatible with the rest of the video sucked ass. So basically we decided to call it a wrap before the footy got to old. Besides some of the footy started popping up in other videos. Oh well, I hope there is a learning curve.

But for all the B.S. I must say its a pretty good video. Our team is solid. A.j. Burnett living the dream in Hollywood, Marco Lambertucci killing it in Italy, Fred Tan nuff said! Ryan Oconner RipnDip bitches. Oh and lets not forget the monster Robert Lopez Mont....Insane...Of course maybe our best rider doesnt even have a part. That would be Willy D Billions. Maybe next time we will keep better track of his footy. There is just so many more things to say and stories to tell. One thing for sure we learned a lot and will try not to repeat the same mistakes on the next project.

Thanks to everybody who helped get it done even the guys who did not come through. Special thanks to David Cahall for helping us call it a wrap. We are moving on to video two. Enjoy COVERT
