This video was entered into the SLAP x Adidas x FTC 7×7 video contest featuring FTC SF / FTC SAC, 35 North / Sasquatch, HUF SF and Skateworks. The 7×7 video contest took place on Sunday June 21st (National Go Skateboarding Day) in San Francisco. Each team consisted of 5 members and were asked to recreate iconic photos from Slap Magazine’s history.
FTC and Plan B Skateboards are proud to announce this triple collaboration with Bay Area hip-hop legend, Del the Funky Homosapien of the Hieroglyphics crew. In the early 90’s, Del and the Hiero crew had several songs in Plan B videos including skate hip-hop classics “Ahonetwo, Ahonetwo” and Burnt.” Over the last 18 years, Del has created a diverse range of music including the albums Third Eye Vision, Both Sides of the Brain, Deltron 3030 and his recent collaboration with The Gorillaz.
“I think it’s dope to be working with Plan B who really solidified the bridge between hip hop and skateboarding. Most of our fan base are skateboarders and I feel Plan B played a big roll in that.” ~Del
The collab includes a limited edition (100) board and tee featuring the classic Hiero and Del logos. Both are available in late July exclusively at FTC. The board is also packaged with Del’s brand new 13 track album entitled Funkman. Available July 31st, but there are limited pre-orders available online now.
Need we say anymore? Get down to Milk on Haight tomorrow, Thursday July 16th. Festivities begin at 8:30 and should last the night through. Get your tickets at FTC!

WHO:
The T-Shirt Has a Voice Project
San Francisco high school students voice their opinions and design t-shirts in collaboration with FTC and TRUE (skate and streetwear brands).
WHAT:
The ‘T-Shirt Has a Voice Project’ is a USF Upward Bound class that gives high school youth an outlet to design their own t-shirt, utilizing their voice, opinions, and influences on a blank canvas.
For the past five months, 7 young designers came together, learned the history of the t-shirt, concept development, software design tools, presentation skills, and marketing strategies. The youth collaborated with FTC and TRUE, San Francisco to bring their designs to the masses.
This Saturday, May 23, 2009, the high school students will be presenting their work to the public at TRUE and FTC. Class instructor, Stephanie Wong, and Upward Bound Director, Janice Dirden-Cook, will recap the project, award the students, and officially announce the t-shirt launch.
