A day at southbank

Southbank is an awesome spot. Unlike most spots it's visually interesting as well as architecturally inspiring. Some of the regulars turned up, including some people you might know like Jin Shimizu from Landscape http://www.landscapeskateboards.com/team/jin.htm


Nice backdrop for the session

This place is as good as a tourist attraction with all the people stopping and staring us. A bunch of dudes even came over for a roll around on our boards. 

Shooting shots

Bling: silver graf

Smooth floor

Amazing block

Is there anywhere left to write? no.

These banks have had so much stuff done on them. They are steeper than they look in the videos too.



A nice seven set at each side to finish off your lines. Live the dream.

Check out the London locals in their Hold Tight videos - vol 9 here, check out the guys.

Derby Spots Review

Blue and Red Rails

Sundays the best day to show off your skills at this spot, rails litter the area like chewing gum outside a night club door. And with it being out of town, it keeps the pedestrian traffic down to a minimum, however some drivers hell bent on the purchase of bulbs may unwittingly park on your lines.
Watch out for the grit fairies, they will hit the brakes without warning.






You've heard of Blue Movies, but have you heard of Blue Moves, Dave throwing down some stuff that shouldn't be allowed!






How's our Driving?

Train Blocks under threat!

Is this the end of our beloved Train Blocks, some gas company has decided to peel back the smooth outer skin of the spot, and you know what that means.. Deep operations always leave scars, we'll have to see how good they are at stitching things up.









In re-morse!

Crip new wheels and Stoke

Got these new Spitfires, blinging silver print. I tested them at stoke with Phil, who learned two new grinds. I sweated my pants off for a crook 180 out down the hubba... why is it always windy at Stoke Plaza?

Uttoxeter skate Jam 08.06.08

This was a good skate jam. Not too many people there, but the people who were there, made the effort and made it an excellent session. The sun blazed down all day, the new driveway was hammered with massive tricks and the grind box stood strong and amused everyone. If I had a quid for every trick that has been done on that. 

Craig Smedley & friends showed up, blew the place apart and left. Look out for the shots of Craig (shot by a journalist) in the Uttoxeter local papers.

Here's the shots, see for yourself.
