Model Eric Ramos gets a little punk in [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler) as a 'Sidewalk Surfer' in BlackBook magazine. The streetwise editorial appears in the October 2010 issue and was photographed by Blossom Berkofsky.

Fashion editor Christopher Campbell mixes plaids, zebra prints and a host of bold colors to create a truly [modern skateboarding style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding). 'Sidewalk Surfer' in BlackBook features fashion from Prada, Acne, Y-3, [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-x-adidas) SLVR and Bernhard Willhelm. We'll soon see if Campbell's vision translates on the street.
