Snowed in : Part II

2008-03-25T09:10:00.000-07:00

Last night i decided to walk to my girlfriends, which is about a mile away, whilst it was snowing. I figured it was probably the last time im going to see snow all year so i took these photos. Its strange how snow can even make Lowestoft look beautiful...

My Street - 9:30pm

I was lucky to get this photo, a boy just did it as i was walking past

Should of brought my board!

Kind of Narnia esq

Shadow...

Wastelands is fucking scary at night when its snowing

I didnt spend long down there, by this time my hands where fucking freezing, and it was too scary to stay any longer!

When i got there, i tried to blog lily, but she was'nt having any of it

I managed to blog her first thou!

Snowed in

2008-03-24T13:20:00.000-07:00

Being injured sucks, and so does snow. But when the two are combined, its not so bad!

I know it doesn't look like much, but its this is about 3pm, at about 1am it was laid thick

And this is whats happening right now, ill take another photo tomorrow morning with the aftermath

Neo makes her first appearance to the blog

What ive been watching recently...

The best glasses in the world, 1983 Ray-Bans, bought in SF on the same year by my mother

Being hurt, and snowed in, gives you alot of free time. I was looking through some old photos, and found this classic, of me with my first ever skateboard. I pestered my mum for about 3 months till she got me one for my 12th birthday. Enjoy!

Last Sunday...

2008-03-17T08:07:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, the same day i cracked 3 ribs, Glen took some photos...

Jamie Oliver would be proud!

Enjoyed by all!

4 Months Late : Fully Flared

2008-03-13T17:40:00.000-07:00

I know its a bit late, but on November the 16th 2007, i witnessed one of, if not THEE most significant skateboarding film ever made

The crew consisted of - Ash Lever aka The Peoples Champ, John King, Andy Rhodes aka Rhodes, Alright Cambridge, Alright Rosie (the list goes on) Glen Cone aka The Cone and Me. The day started early (7:30am) , and not just for me!

Rhodes couldnt handle the early start! He was literally this moody all the way there.

mmmm Breakfast!

Early morning suck!

So we got to London around 11am, and hoped we could get a skate in before we had to get to the cinema. We went to the euston banks for a little roll around (little ones not big one!) and Me and Glen ended up trying to get tricks on this cornered bank. Glen did backslide tailslide over the corner, but i dont think he was that into it.

(Glen filming me, note the shirts! haha)

We then headed over to the big banks. I was eying up a nollie tre into it, but as soon as i had ollied into it for a warm up, the heavens opened. day overrrr

We headed over to Camden to get some food, by this time it was fooking freezing! we made a stop at the skate park, and Champ manged somehow to do a massive backside flip over the hip in the soaking wet! props!

I had Tickets to the earlier public showing, so we took our boards back to the car early, and i headed to the Prince Charles Cinema to see Fully Flared. I rushed to get there, but got in with ease, albeit fucking soaked! Luckily i knew a few people who were at the same showing, so i sat with them, and watched Mike Carroll introduce the long awaited epic. I had alot of thoughts about this video before it am out, and was looking forward to see if the video lives up to the hype!

Unsurprisingly, it did. One and half hours of pure genius. every section amazing. filmed beautifully, with great use of HD cameras. The skating itself, was on a whole other level. at the time i couldn't believe that skateboarding had been operating at this level for so long without anyone knowing about it. Marc Johnson's and Guy Mariano's sections epically. The level of progression, creativity, and imagination these guys have in their about skateboarding is beyond me. Half of the tricks they do have never been done before, and half of them i would have never of thought of in a thousand years. They go beyond anything ever achieved on a skateboard. THIS IS THE FUTURE!

I left the theater with such a buzz, such a thrill. Ive never experienced this with a skateboard video before, it effected me in that big of a way. I think the word is disbelief. i walked back to the tube station, as i was getting fucking soaked, and saw the guys, who had been getting beers or something. Now comes the lame bit, waiting around in London for an hour and a half while they watch the film in the vip screening. Luckily they managed to get a spare one, and i got to see the whole thing again! This was ace, because the length of the video, and amount of new tricks they do, is sometimes confusing and hard to take in in one sitting.

The vip area was so much better, much better seats (upstairs this time not downstairs)
and i saw quite a few pros walking around, Mike Mo, Biebal, Carroll, Jesus and Rob Welsh where all present, and obviously so where all the London based pros.

At the end, we headed for the after party! super stoked!

EC RPRZNT

OJ RPRZNT!

The best thing about the after show party was, Lucas Puig, who i think has the best part in the video, standing literally 3 feet away from me... stoked!

We got the tube back to the car about 11, and drove back to Low. I think we got in about 3 or something

This is what me and Rhodes did on the way back

Mario kart on ds is the best!

Overall, we where all so stoked on the video, it made up for the shitty weather! Nice one Blueprint and Ash for hooking my tickets up!

P.S EVERYONE WATCH FULLY FLARED NOW

First Edition...

2008-03-13T16:55:00.000-07:00

Hello bloggers (!) as you can see, this is my first blog post. Ive always wanted to do one of these, but have never actually had a reason or had the motivation to go and do it

But now, as you can see, i have, maybe due to the fact ive been stuck inside for the last 48hours because of illness, and injury. The injury came on Sunday when i took harsh fall onto my ribs, causing what i suspect is bad bruising, the illness followed, and i now have the worst headache in the world, possibly ever.

Its true i dont really have anything interesting to tell you in this post, but every blog has to start somewhere right? Here is an email i got from Steve Berra a few days ago, which got me really stoked... (click for full sized image)

Aside from that, me and the guys have been filming hard since around October for 'YEAH INIT', which will drop around December this year. One of the main reasons i started this blog was to update everyones on our mishaps whilst filming said video, so keep posted! and ill add photos and quicktime clips in future posts.
