DC takes UK Tour Recap

DC Skateboarding Team has been descending on the UK for a packed 2018 skate tour. Touching down on the 26th July, Wes Kremer, Tiago Lemos, Tristan Funkhouser, Thaynan Costa, Madars Apse, John Shanahan, Jaakko Ojanen and Josef Scott took over the streets of Bristol, Brighton and London where they have hit all the top skate spots and core skate shops, before heading to East London for a massive skate session in the centre of Shoreditch.

This epic ten day tour has culminated on the 4th August with a full on invasion of the Old Truman Brewery for 'The Taking' London. In conjunction with the 'Yours for the Taking' campaign, DC Shoes created a one-off park setup focused around a massive black-cab-gap which was opened to local skaters, with demos from the pros and a classic skate jam plus Cash for Tricks comp. The event also featured a unique exhibit exploring the history of the brand's skate and streetwear fashion heritage - back to the days of Droors Clothing - followed by an exclusive gig in the evening from Mancunian hip hop artists, Levelz.
