INTRODUCING RYAN GALLANT’S FIRST SIGNATURE SHOE
Check the dcshoes.com Minisite for Details!

|
For this week's Newsclip we've animated the sequence of Gallant's ad that's running right now in the skate mags.
|
For Spring 2008 DC is proud to release Ryan Gallant’s very first signature shoe. Check out the new minisite at dcshoes.com for the story on Ryan and his pro shoe, including a short podcast video, a gallery with a few skate photos of Ryan, and, of course, info on the shoe.

As with every DC signature shoe, the design and development process of The Gallant was left entirely to the rider. Ryan worked with DC footwear designers to create his ideal skate shoe using the Manteca, a classic DC model, as a base for his design. Ryan said, “I just wanted a plain skate shoe that didn’t blow out and that didn’t feel like a thick sock after a day. I’ve skated in the Manteca and Avatar, so that’s what I talked about when making this shoe… then I just wanted everything thinned out—I like a thin shoe.”
Ryan went on to help develop Super Suede+™ for use as a durable upper material on his shoe. The material is an improvement of DC’s revolutionary Super Suede™, this version further reinforced to prevent blowouts. About Super Suede+™ Ryan noted, “…every kickflip feels grippy and on point. I’ll kickflip a lot of shoes and the stitching will be all peeled back, then there’s the complete blowout… [this material] is tough and lasts."

The black colorway of Gallant's shoe.
|
As far as colors expect a basic black upper / white cupsole combination, a staple colorway for Ryan, as well as a green/black/white combination.
Rounding out the Spring 2008 Ryan Gallant project is a t-shirt with custom artwork (which is also featured on the shoe’s insole), and, because Ryan wears New Era caps so much, two signature hats. Ryan is the first DC team rider to get a signature hat and tee.
Look for Ryan Gallant’s signature shoe exclusively in skate shops beginning just after the New Year, and stay tuned to the DC Newsclip in the coming weeks for more info. For now, follow this link to see the minisite at dcshoes.com for video, photos, and the story on the shoe.

REMINDER: MTN.LAB 1.5 VIDEO NOW IN SHOPS
|
|
Last week MTN.LAB 1.5 hit retailers worldwide… head to your favorite snowboard shop now to pick up a copy of DC’s 2nd-ever snowboarding movie!
Directed by Pierre Wikberg, the video covers all the action and hilarity that has gone down at the DC MTN.LAB in Utah since DC’s first snowboarding video two years ago. But, because of a lack luster season that made the MTN.LAB more of a mud lab than a anything else, the crew also ventured to spots worldwide to stack up footage. Sweden, Australia, and Canada all got hit, plus New Zealand for the highly publicized last part that sees rally cars and the DC snowboarding team side-by-side at Snow Park Resort.
The video clocks in officially at a little over 30 minutes, but there’s over 1 hour of footage in the EXTRAS section as well as a couple of secret movies… you’re going to have to figure out how to get to those yourself! (There’s even a secret movie inside of one of the secret movies!).
Visit dcshoes.com/snow for more info now, the head to your local shop to grab a copy!

WIN A COPY OF THRILLBILLIES
|
|
Since its release Thrillbillies, the new video from Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus crew, has been getting rave reviews, thanks most likely to the madness it documents... for example, there’s footage of Travis jumping out of an airp*** without a parachute!
Thrillbillies is available right now in shops and all over the net (go here for info), but this week we’re giving away five copies of the video. Just be one of the first to answer the following trivia question correctly and we’ll hook you up:
* They say cats have 9 lives. How many lives do they say Travis Pastrana has?
Send your answer to winthrillbillies@dcshoes.com before 12/31/2007. We’ll announce the winners in the next DC Newsclip and after the New Year in the NEWS section at dcshoes.com. Good luck!
