Killing Machine

Killing Machine beite auf seiner Homepage drei T-Shirts, Sticker und eine Reihe Desktop Wallpapers an. Die Idee und die Geschichte hinter der „killing Machine“ ist ebenfalls dort zu finden:Hello: or what in the hell is all thisKilling Machine was an idea born on a cold car ride back from Toronto in the winter of 2000.Killing Machine was also a small skate company, run by a skater named Brian Munn who grew up in the same small town as us. Brian made hardware for boards, and the occasional t-shirt. He drank beer out of a giant coffee travel mug and he was willing to let us give the idea a try in paintball.Killing Machine debuted as a an apparel company at the 2000 Amateur Open. Then it dropped out of sight for awhile, pushed aside by a million seemingly more important things. Brian's Killing Machine dropped out of sight as well, and Brian himself moved off over the horizon to the land of the setting sun (California).Killing Machine never really went away though. It has been kept alive over the intervening four years by countless players, friends and cohorts who didn't want to see the concept die. It's been kept alive by a few dozen battered t-shirts and some homemade stickers. It is the side project that just won't die. Four years later, now seems as good a time as any to try again.We'll have the first new batch of Killing Machine shirts at the World Cup next week, with more to follow at the NPPL San Diego event next month. Shipping might be interrupted a bit while we're all down in Orlando, but all orders will be filled by the first of November.And Brian, if you see this, please, get in touch
