In the summer of 1975, Southern California experienced a drought so severe it evaporated nearly all suburban swimming pools. Restless to escape the heat and fill the long summer days, kids quickly turned these dry pools into playgrounds that became the essential springboard for the skateboarding scene. It was one such hot, dry afternoon that a young photographer by the name of Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles to find himself mesmerized by the dynamic grace and explosive athleticism of these young skateboarders. So he decided to document them, unaware he was recording the dawn of an era that would shape countless facets of pop culture in eras to come

Profile intervention
Droga5 Sydney and VB want to help you put your most superficial Facebooking friends in their place with the VB Profile Intervention. Select a mate and his or her particular offense, from The Flesh Flash (too much skin exposure) to The Trout Pout (cheek sucker). Your buddy will then be treated to a session with Physcoventionalist Stephen W Proust, who will diagnose his profile and help him on the road to recovery.

But my favourites are the frequent run-ins with Batman. Oh, and that time they defeated the Predator.
