SECRET WARS HAS ARRIVED IN MOSCOW

Went to Moscow to battle "team Russia" in Secret Wars @ Faces & Laces - We had a great time and made some good friends! cheers to all that helped out and got involved and a huge big up to Reebok Russia for getting us out there.

Moscow is an amazing place and I would recommend it to anyone... Some interesting food and cheap Russian vodka always near by ;)

We had 3 days off where we checked out all parts of the city and made some good connections - we also ended up hanging out with magician Dynamo, who was actually staying in the room next door at the hotel... This guy is seriously talented, check him out on YOUTUBE.

yesterday we went on a little sight seeing visit - below are some of our shots!

THE BATTLE NIGHT!

RUSSIA (Djagarta & Sick Systems) vs. ENGLAND (Teck 1 & Wen)

The rules and info

Kick off - with the Russians on the left and UK on the right
The battle was held on the Reebok stand, over the 90 mins we must have had over 1000 people come and check it out. The reaction from the Russians was great! I am sure we will be back soon.
England and Russia meeting in the middle
Team England - Teck (Left), Wen (Right) - Theme was bear baiting the old and very popular russian cartoon character "Cheburashka"
The Russians all think we are Cockneys ;), so they decided to crunch us up with Vasilly's trademark character.


Watch this space for more action in Russia

SECRET WARS GLASGOW: SCOTLAND Vs ENGLAND

The night was booming! The tunes were throbbing with the amazing DJ set!

It was a close battle with both teams flexing different styles, Jimi and Teck flew in just hours before the battle so they were jet lagged but as usual the gents morphed up a beautifully clean, bold and well composed battle piece taking a striking lead from the start. The Scots, Vues and Conzo brought two different styles to the table stirring up a tasty Glasgow flavoured inky broth!

In the end the Scots managed to scoop a win on their home turf

*Crowd Vote (an obvious one!) - Scotland

*Judge 1 (Amy from the Recoat Gallery) - England

*Judge 2 (Australian Graffiti Artist ‘Smug’) – Scotland

Thanks to all those involved and who helped make Scotland’s 1st ever Secret Wars happen!!!

It’s just begun! So keep ears perked up for future battles in Scotland!!

Check out the official Secret Wars Website for updates and other battles happening in a city near you throughout the rest of the world.

Also stay updated with the Scottish Secret Wars blog as pictures and videos from Friday’s battle will be added soon.

A QUICK TRIP TO PRAGUE...

Monorex were asked to fly out to Prague last week by Reebok Czech, the mission was for Alfa and Mr K to paint shoes for the buying public in the Reebok store.

Sounds like a normal day in the office but not this one ;) - As Reebok decided to invite Miss Czech Republic (see below) to get involved and have a go in front of the local press.

Check out Mr K getting hands on!
