When Lil' John Hateley was 19 years old he played Grandma Boone in a strawberry wine commercial.
Here ya go, take a watch:
That Academy-Award-Worthy granny wheelie started his career as a hollywood stunt double which helped support his chequered racing career.
Now, umpteen years later, he's still got the funk.
With a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin, he was delighted to take the cover off the new Champion-framed Triumph 750 flattrack racer he's built for Julian Heppekausen, Deus America's slide-happy GM. Hateley also played a big part in prepping and tuning Terry Triumph, the 1966 T120 that Julian won the Mexican 1000 on, covering each mile of the route and passing every checkpoint back in 2016.
Look out for the purple beast and JH517 on your local flat track in the 2018 season, and if you run into Lil' John at the MX, Flat, or any other kind of track, shake his hand for blazing the trail for motorcycle funtimes and forgive him for promoting bad wine!
This year’s playground was Pantai Kelecung, raw, remote, and still clinging to the Bali of old. Coconut palms, undulating black sand beach, riverbanks, and open fields formed our trackside theatre. This wasn't a doddle, this was a test of dirt and devotion.
Introducing The Chamber of Eternal Combustion, located in the heart of Seongsu-dong: story after story of apparel, hospitality, and entertainment. This one has opened with a certain aplomb, and the cause is anyone’s guess (though we have our suspicions). Our newest flagship space has shape-shifted into something curated and exciting - a rich embodiment of everything we’re uniquely proud of at Deus. A world that celebrates craft, creativity, and connection: a meeting point for culture, and a destination where curiosity is rewarded.
Come in, stay awhile; good things tend to happen when you do.
There’s a calmness to photographer Woody Gooch’s work. Some might even call it a quiet pulse that hums somewhere between intuition and serendipity, unfolding with a kind of ease. For Woody, the art lies not in control but in recognition, in knowing when a scene has found its own rhythm, and being present to catch it before it slips away.
