Over the past year, I think it’s pretty clear that things have been pretty hectic for the DUB crew. Between the “Homegrown” DVD being released, traveling the world working with Monster on The Street Series stops that went down in Capetown, Barcelona, Berlin, Tokyo and New York, the closing of The Loot and a bunch of new clothing designs and a collaboration frame all dropping, I think hectic is a good word for it. We figured it was a good time to get ahold of Jack now that he has a little down time to find out more about everything him and the crew have been getting into lately! Let’s see what he had to say!

We have a bit of an Anton Arnarson week going with the new 2014 Iceland Summer Road Trip video we dropped yesterday and now the bike check we’re about to get into here and we’re stoked! Anton has been kicking ass over in Iceland for the past few years and in that time we’ve been able to keep up with him through his videos. Brett Rohlfing recently made a trip over there to spend some time with Anton and figured he would grab a few photos of his current setup so you could get a closer look at just what he’s running these days! We tossed in some bonus questions to see what else is new with him as well… So let’s check this unit out already!

Name: Anton Örn Arnarson
