Hej.
We are still alive alive alive alive alive….!
After several weeks full of trouble and too much work, we are back on track now. A new flat, workspace/workflow new arranged and finally time to put the focus back on AURORA. It might be a bit late, but we hope you had a good start in 2012. This year is going to be great and we are really curious about what will happen. Some new releases are in the making right now and we will put them online as soon as possible. Besides this we are producing all our handmade goods on stock from now on. We want to minimize the waiting time for you in the future and provide you with a better shopping experience.

Not much talk about not-AURORA-related topics here, but maybe we should change this also for 2012. So let me introduce Perrion from NYC to you. He got his new mixtape “Circuit Breaker” out and you should really give it a listen. It’s on heavy rotation in our studio. Download it for free here and check out this song:

There are some nice events (Berlin Bicycle Fair and Pankt Saulopoly Hamburg Ciddy Alleycat/Polo Tournament) coming up pretty soon and we hope to see some of you guys there.

Don’t forget to like AURORA on facebook.

Thanks for your attention, patience and support!

Today i’m happy to release our Summer Collection 2011. Yes, SS2011. Sounds weird, but it’s true.
Due to many problems, which I will forgot from now on, it took some more month as I expected to finish everything.
But all this is a learning process and I promise we will try to get into this seasonal rhytm thing next year. Hopefully.
But enough talk, we have some nice stuff for you. My personal favorites are the two photographer shirts, printed on a super soft T-Shirt made from 50% organic cotton / 50% recycled polyester.
One called “The Chase” (also on black) features an epic photograph taken by Melbourne based photographer Duncan Ewington. He shoot Joey Dodd some month ago and I bet you have seen this picture around the net.
Now it is on a shirt!

Also we are proud to feature a photograph of our friend Kay Lasenga, who just opened a really nice store in Münster / Germany. He is passioned about photography, collects old and analoge cameras and he got tons of pictures in a large box. The shirt with his photograph is called “Skate!” and it is Kays first photograph which got released so far.

Besides this we also used the chance to drop some simple Logo shirts and a new Zip Hooded.
Our new “Logo Reflex” Zip Hooded features a reflective backprint and increases your visibility on night rides.

The last item for now is one that makes me really happy. I wanted to have my own skateboards for more than 8 years and now the time was right. I think AURORA is the perfect way to release it, because it combines nearly everything i’m passioned about whether it’s bikes, urbanity, art, music, photography, handmade goods, apparel and of course skateboarding.
It is Made in the USA from Canadian Maple Wood and features a bright full-color print.
We hope you will like our first deck called “Galaxy“.

Check out all the new stuff in our webshop.
Don’t forget, christmas is coming. So we think it’s time to put some of our classics ( “Cosby says” Shirt, “Rider” Shirt, “Crest” Socks and our Army Coat) on sale, be quick and grab them while stock lasts.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Just came back from Sascha in Düsseldorf, who helped out producing the first AURORA Skateboards. On the pictures you can see some impressions of his neat store called “Rebel Gärage” and of course a glimpse on our new Skateboards. We dropped a full-color universe logo print on a canadian maple wood Skateboard (Made in the USA!!!) for your pleasure. Perfect shape and soon to be available in our webshop.
Stay tuned for the release…

Yes. We are working on new stuff and we are finally producing our summer collection 2011. Maybe a bit late for this summer, but we don’t care. We are just curious about the new stuff and hope you like it aswell. Check this sneak peek and stay tuned for more information…

What a great weekend. Awesome late summer weather and a stunning new store opened it’s doors. Two good friends of mine planned this for some month and now finally opened their own store, named REVERIE, this weekend. On Friday the opening party was a great event with more than 150 people in and around the new store. Some music, some beers and of course a lot good people made this a great evening. I had my camera with me and got some impressions for you. The interior is pretty clean, but also homelike. They carry brands like Clae, Analog, Gravis, Wemoto, Obey, Loreak Mendian, Makia, Vans California, RVCA and of course most pieces of the AURORA apparel collection. So it is really worth a visit.

Sadly our new goods are not finished yet, so we just had some older items for the opening. But we are curious about the next 2 weeks, it seems like there will be a lot great stuff available soon.

Check out the pictures and like REVERIE on Facebook.

Not really summer over here in Germany, but we think this one makes up for it. There is more to come from Max and we also got some nice AURORA stuff in the making. We try to get it together and online as soon as possible.

Until then, enjoy!

Max Ritter from Berlin was in town this weekend for the C.O.S. Cup ( German Skateboard Championship ) and we had the chance to met for some pictures at the Berg Fidel Bowl. Sadly not much time to hang out and drink some beers, but at least we got some nice pictures to share…

This years EUROBIKE started yesterday and sadly we are not able to get there again. Really sad, because there are a few pretty nice side events, exhibitors (Cinelli with their classic Laser Track Re-Issue!!!) and of course a lot great people we’d love to meet. Maybe next time.
But if you have the chance to get there make sure to visit this sweet event we are sponsoring a bit. There will be a Goldsprint with some nice AURORA goodies for the best racers and also a Fixed Gear Exhibition. Have fun…

Bill Cosby is the man, that’s why we have our beloved “Cosby says” Shirt to pay tribute to him and his life.

Some month ago we discovered AH310, a small german cycling cap maker from Karlsruhe. They make cycling caps from old/new T-Shirts, which is a awesome idea. From the first look at those great caps, it was clear that we want to collaborate with them. This limited cycling cap is the result. Absolute stunning and unique work.

It is made of a new “Cosby says” Shirt and comes in a medium size. This means it fits most heads around 55cm-58cm. Perfectly handcrafted in Germany.

This limited cycling cap is definitely one of a kind. Be quick and get yours. Other sizes on request.
