Afternoon everyone. Hope all is well and that you've all watched Baker Has a Deathwish 2 at least a hundred times by now (especially now that Reynolds has reuploaded it after YouTube took the initial one down). So here we are - it's February 2024 - where did the time go? Here's the first blog post of Feb and it's a beast. Everyone loves Raw Files right? Getting to peek behind the curtains of the industry machine to see how many tries it actually takes for these sponno'd heads to do their thing is always interesting. Well, New Balance Numeric have entered the raw footage arena with their first (I think) of a series showing the raw footage behind the polished end results of New Balance Numeric's numerous video projects. This one features the likes of Andrew Reynolds, Palace skateboards' Charlie Birch, Justin Henry, Ryan Lay and more and is a solid 20 minutes of raw street. Go dive in.

Secondly (and also timely due to the huge Palace Skateboards delivery that just arrived) is a short but amazing Lucas Puig clip. Filmed in Morocco to announce the release of his adidas Skateboarding Puig indoor shoe - it's only short but it more than makes up for it with pure Puig power. Head over to our huge Palace Skateboards range via this link or the proddy below to throw coins of appreciation at both Charlie and Lucas Puig.
