FUCT, a streetwear brand started in the streets of Easton by Eric Brunetti, now fully rooted in the streets of Los Angeles has printed these shirts paying homage to our local skatespots as part of the Love Awareness Program.
Do those pillars look familiar?
“The Trench. A drainage ditch that runs along the 378 freeway in Pa. My friends and I cleaned, cleared and started skating this spot in late 1981. It became the area hangout for delinquent teens and punks as well as the the breeding ground for some of the best skateboarders from Philly, NYC and N.J. – Many scuffles and fist fights happened in the trench- Punks VS Jocks, Stoners VS Straight Edge kids, etc…every west coast pro that came through the area would visit 2 spots, The MFC vert ramp and the Trench.
The Trench shaped many lives, including my own, it represents 100% rebellion to leagues of skaters all over the east coast. Today, it still remains as one of the most frequented skate spots in the tri-state area.
The Trench Photo print set- consist of photographs of friends shot by friends circa 1983-86, at the highly influential east coast skate spot, the black and white photo is shot by Brian Plebani (check his blog here) and the color photograph was shot by Eric De Jesus.”
Thanks to Eric for pointing these out. That’s definitely some 610 skate history right there. Hopefully these will be on our shelves soon.
