The Wackness is a new film by Jonathan Levine, which recently scooped the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award.
Set in New York City in 1994, the film focuses on a city pulsing with hip hop. Much like the city, Luke (Josh Peck) and Dr. Squires (Sir Ben Kingsley) are at a crossroads: Luke considers himself semi-suicidal, bemoaning his high school social status and the fact that his family is on the verge of eviction; Dr. Squires and his rehab-addicted wife (Famke Janssen) can barely tolerate each other. Together, Luke and Squires agree to help each other find happiness… and get laid.
The film is littered with humour, pathos, sex, drugs, and beats, courtesy of an amazing soundtrack. It opens across the UK on 29th August, so get your ticket reserved!
We have three prize parcels of a Stussy belt and a copy of the exlusive The Wackness book to give away!
To be in with the chance to win, simply answer the simple question below…
Question: In which city is The Wackness based?

The third Nissan Adventure Film Festival sponsored by Helly Hansen will be taking place between 15-23 September at Vue Cinemas around the country. Showcasing the very best feature-length films over five themed evenings, the festival will take arm-chair adventurers on a journey from the heights of Mount Everest to the shark-infested waters off the coast of South Africa.
The festival - the largest adventure film festival in the world - will feature five themed evenings at Vue digital cinema sites nationwide as follows:
Monday 15 September: Environmental Adventure
Tuesday 16 September: Ocean Adventure
Wednesday 17 September: Survival Adventure
Monday 22 September: High Altitude Adventure
Tuesday 23 September: Winter Adventure
This year sees the introduction of a night dedicated to Environmental Adventure, demonstrating that adventurers can achieve the big thrill with a conscience. Featured films include ‘Red Gold’, a David and Goliath story of one man’s battle against a mining corporation in Alaska; ‘Oil + Water’, an epic 21,000 mile journey from Alaska to Argentina by a truck run on natural vegetable oil; and ‘Beyond the Horizon’ documenting 2006 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Colin Angus’ record breaking round-the-world trip – the first ever made entirely under human power.
Other highlights include the world premiere of an episode of Discovery Channel’s ‘Deadliest Catch’ (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure); ‘Stranded – the Andes Plane Crash Survivors’, a haunting movie telling the story of the 1972 plane crash through the words of the survivors themselves, as made famous by the film ‘Alive’ (Wednesday 17th, Survival Adventure) and ‘Sharkman’, following South African Mike Rutzen’s quest to overcome the negative perception of great white sharks by putting them into a state of ‘tonic immobility’, or hypnotic trance (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure).
Films start at 6.30pm each evening and tickets can be purchased from the event website. Or you can win a pair of tickets to your choice of screening by entering our comp!
We have two pairs of tickets to each evening to give away! To be in with a chance to win, simply at what age did World Champ downhill rider Sabrina Jonnier start racing BMX?
Please make sure you include your name, full postal address, which night you would like to attend and which is your closest Vue cinema (check the list here).

The mood has lightened over at Amplified. The dark skulls, snakes and heavy rock bands have been replaced by brighter graphics in bold and bright colours for the Spring/Summer collection.
Amplified has come over a bit disco with its Studio 54 range of designs that play homage to the legendary 70s nightclub. ‘Super Dance’ slogans blaze across the front of t-shirts in bright rainbow colours. Even their iconic Run DMC and Beastie Boy t-shirts have been given the ‘fight-in-a-paint-factory’ treatment.
The new collection sees the use of designs on bold block colours of red, blue, aqua, lemon and a whole range of psychedelic colours. Music is the absolute inspiration behind Amplified - from the Rolling Stones, the Clash, ACDC and the Happy Mondays, and summer 2008 sees a collection inspired by their passion for 80s New York Disco.
Born in 2004, Amplified has evolved into one of the hottest street labels around - the Rolling Stones licks tee remains their iconic shirt, although the brand now boasts a complement of headwear, accessories, jackets and footwear too.
To celebrate the new summer collection, Amplified are giving us two prize parcels worth £75 each to give away! To be in with a chance to win, simply answer the question below. Find a CLUE here!

The film competition
Five teams composed of the world’s best athletes, in skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, paragliding and BASE jumping, will be challenged to create a film based on an original concept, that combines the performances of the athletes, with the creative and artistic dimension of a film competition.
The five teams have five days to film themselves freely, while practising their sports, within the Chamonix area. A public screening will take place at the end of the competition in the heart of the town.
The Sports Competition and Demonstrations
During the weekend an ice-climbing competition, featuring the best climbers, will be organised in the centre of town for public viewing.
Two one-hour long air shows will take place at the top of the glacier, featuring paragliding, speed flying, wing suits and BASE jumping.
First Prize
Columbia Sportswear is offering a four-day trip for two to Chamonix, so you can experience this amazing event. The prize includes flights, transfers, accommodation and lift pass. Winners will be treated to VIP access to The Outdoor Games, and an ice-climbing experience.
Runners-up Prizes
If you aren’t lucky enough to win, fret not, as Columbia Sportswear have offered up five jacket and pant combos to giveaway. The Prism Parka and Alexandria Pants, both pictured, boast Columbia’s usual hi-tec spec, and each combined outfit is worth £300.
Congratulations to our lucky winner: Neeta Scrivener!

“You can find the most amazing things when you choose to walk your own way,” say the people at J Shoes. Which is exactly what they’ve been doing with their signature artisan-style shoes. This season J Shoes asked London street artist and musician, Remi Roughe, to design their new ad campaign and produce this stunning one-off piece of work, ‘Foot Prints’, for their flagship store.
Cooler: Your roots are in concrete graffiti, how do you translate that onto canvas?
Remi: I try and retain an element of where I’ve come from in my graphic work and visa versa, so I design a hybrid. That’s not necessarily where it’s going to end up though, as everything I do is in constant turmoil with itself.
Cooler: Talk us through your design process.
Remi: Everything starts by hand – pencil and paper – then it can either go towards spray paint, digital or acrylic, whichever direction it needs to take.
Cooler: What was the idea behind the Foot Prints piece?
Remi: ‘Do the jaywalk’ was the brief, which is J Shoe’s manifesto. I had the idea of doing a guy painting a really large-scale wall but I didn’t know in what context. I was in my studio and found a pot of fluorescent pink acrylic, so I poured it on the floor stood in it, and it went from there. Those are my real footprints.
Congratulations to Bee Jasko who has won this beautiful limited edition print, plus a pair of Capri sandals from J Shoes!

Want a surf experience?
The Surf Experience crew know the tip of South West Portugal like Laird Hamilton knows the North Shore, which isn’t that surprising when you consider they’ve amassed a combined 45 years experience of riding the local breaks. Their trips cater for all levels of surfers, from smaller beach breaks for debutants and more advanced reef and point breaks for the more talented. The Surf Experience pad is in the centre of the beautiful town of Lagos, complete with postcard-style beach views, and nearby bars and clubs, if you’re not too wrecked after a hard day’s surfing to sample them. And such is their kindness that they’re offering one lucky reader, and a jammy pal, to join them for a free week’s surfing.
Congratulations to our lucky winner: Eva Varolo!
Prize available from mid-October onwards for two people and includes accommodation, airport transfers, transport to and from waves, kit hire and breakfast and lunch, but does not include flights. To buy a cheap flight to Faro, visit easyJet.com, ba.com or bmibaby.com.

There were many times when the specific product that we had in our mind’s eye simply didn’t exist, so, relying on our passion for riding and keen desire to innovate, we started making new and different products ourselves. Passion and innovation were the secrets to our early success and have been the bedrock of our business ever since. We never would have made breakthroughs like the original Stumpjumper, carbon-and-titanium Epic Ultimate, or our Roubaix SL if we didn’t have a limitless passion for riding and a desire to innovate.
We learned a long time ago that if we’re going to improve our ride, your ride anybody’s ride, we’ve got
