What Youth Issue 5 Trailer A video glimpse at the beautiful mess we made

Now that you’ve seen the cover of Noa Deane attempting to ignite his high-tops on fire while sitting in a Parisian gutter, photographed by Kai on his Yashica, it’s time to take a tour of the inside of the book, our fifth in the collection.

What Youth Issue 5 On Sale Now

Our fifth issue is now on sale in the What Youth store. On the cover: Noa Deane attempting to set fire to his high-tops. We’d also like to note the presence of his amigo Brendon Gibbens, on call and ready to pour beer all over his feet if things get wild. It was shot in…

Fairly Normal: Luke Davis Episode 010

What Youth Issue 6 is finished Collected Thoughts 053

Someone was looking out for us this week. A two week long flat spell has plagued southern California — and we hardly noticed. We’ve been locked in the What Youth laboratory, staying fit on the mini ramp, icing our brand new Merricks, just waiting for this day, today, when the printer man walks into the…

A good 5 minutes (or so) with Ozzie Wright On the Nti Sheeto Experience

Spending five minutes talking to Ozzie Wright is infinitely better than spending any time talking to anyone else we’ve met. He literally secretes stories, enthusiasm and the most unapologetic vibes in the world. Nti Sheeto, the film, the trip, the photos, the other photos, that trailer, the party, the frame grabs and the overall vibe…
