The two tees honour the Pennsylvania skate spot with photos shot in the early 1980s by Brian Plebani and Eric De Jesus.

They pay homage to an area of "broken glass, debris, cracks, rubble, irate neighbours and police" that still managed to draw some of the best pros from Philly, NYC and N.J as well as delinquent teens and punks.

Says Fuct founder Erik Brunetti: "Every west coast pro that came through the area would visit two spots, The MFC vert ramp and the Trench. The Trench shaped many lives, including my own, it represents 100% rebellion to leagues of skaters all over the east coast. Today, it still remains as one of the most frequented skate spots in the tri-state area."

The t-shirts are also accompanied with quotes: "All our words from loose using have lost their edge” by Hemingway and “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently” by Nietzsche.
