Crailtap

"Hit the one in the middle"

Tonight's televisual broadcast was cherry picked. Little bit bummed I missed Back To The Future beforehand but still, a real treat...



Go Rocko!

Day Late

Poor computer connections mean that this is tardy but it's here nevertheless. Yesterday saw this guy...



turn 21! He had a happy time, here he is in the new Carhartt ad...



Expect to see more of him in print in the near future, good work Nugget. Also last night the gang was out for another birthday...



Wob Wob crew, yes Wob! Happy birthday boys

Kickflip

Definitely be doing one of these today but it won't be on a bike...



Not so long ago the first surfing one got nailed too. Lets hope the micro scooter brigade try learning them now and render their pesky devices out of action with some frame bending

"Pride of Lowell"

I suppose Dickie Eklund and Kerouac have their similarities although Ti Jean never knocked down Sugar Ray Leonard. Basically I watched this tonight...



All thanks to one of my new favourite weekly visitors and I recommend you do the same...



Gripping, air punching, gonna buy a skipping rope again ( like when I got the Rocky box set ) kind of stuff.

Grey Nights

Issue 4 of Grey is in Slam now with Karim on the cover so come and get a copy...



Be sure to visit the Grey
site
to see the edit Hold tight Henry burnt the midnight oil in order to produce! Enjoy

"Charlie Young is Young"

Classic Skinner quote there, he happened to be year older yesterday-congrats. Thoroughly enjoyed the night put on by Henry over at the excellent
Grey Magazine
Hold Tight Henry's edit was really sick, reminded of the days when bits of R.B Umali footage would creep out pre internet overload. Looking forward to seeing it again-keep an eye out. Enjoyed the Minuit video with live Toddy commentary too. Here's a sneak at a Charlie photo from the mag...



and here's a pap snapped one I shot with my phone that night timing the flash...



Been waiting to put that up for ages. Good work to everyone who made it out on a Sunday, most notably a Cates and a Pulman and Yeah Skateboarding! Oh yeah-check the Palace NY trip photos on Smasher's
Blog

Guess who's back?

Wob decided his broken knee would no longer impede skateboarding fun in the sun. Check out this photo Jackson took and we doubted as a photoshop job...



Wob really ollied the barrel, we just didn't believe it at first because he only ran for the first time a few weeks ago. He really is back though check the edit!!....

The launch of the newest Grey magazine is going to be this Sunday. It's amazing to see the momentum Henry Kingsford's publication has built up since it's inception and to know big plans are ahead. Get down to the launch and see the UK premiere of this...



Here's all the relevant info...

Return Of The Zic

After a bit of an absence it's back with a diary of last evening's skate...

Born Day

Year older today, day off, new board, sun shining...



Gonna pick up some new socks and get involved. Steve told me about these...



They're sick and informative. Here's the new
one
Keep watching, i'm off to do a frontside boardslide for Cab

The Universe loves you

Paddy just asked me what I'm giving up for Lent. Without any thought of Lent I have resigned to try and give up any negative thought or at least attempt to combat it or channel it into something productive. How philosophical, I think this is a good resolution. Smoking is a hurdle best addressed on a date of my choosing I think. Enough about me here's a hook up for you. Keep your eyes peeled for these, they're out there on the shelves...



Always a fan of cheeseburger flavour things so it's a given that I was into these. To say that they have harnessed some Willy Wonka style alchemy is an understatement, these are on point. Every crisp is like the perfect bite of a Burger King cheeseburger-incredible! Here are some Muskaism's left on our ceiling...



and here is an action shot of Neil Baron's daughter Ruby, she will be wheeling around in no time, she's already pulled the handlebars off her scooter...



Before I go I'm going to leave you with some classic footage of the king of style filmed by Brad Johnson...

Retrospectively

Here are some good images from last Weekend's signing kindly taken by Daniel D'Silva. Our queue which managed to stay the same length for a long time...



DC overseeing proceedings...



The reason why this happened in the first place...



Muska and Stevie...



Signing action...



Photo Op...



Vaughan and Boulala...

Vaughan signage...



Muska and Boulala...



Finally Muska giving it...



If the frenzy made viewing shoes that day harder than normal you're in luck. Another 30 pairs of Supra shoes just made their way onto our
Online Store
We watched this before skating yesterday...



and it made it a whole lot better, our Indian outfit's were styling. If you are a fan of what happens when Luigi empties his brain onto
paper
You'll be pleased to know that one of his drawings is available for a limited time on a high quality white t-shirt in here so snap one up...



Smoke up.

Barden's Boudoir

For everyone who came out on Friday...



It was a good time and hopefully we'll be doing it again.

Friday 4 March 2011

First Thursday

It kicked off last night, many busy galleries. I checked out Jensen's new paintings and they're sick. Have a look yourself...



This one's my favourite...



Then we rolled on up to Wayward headquarter's for Toby's show...



Toby had been busy too. It was a good show and turn out. I recommend you take some time out to visit both. One of the main topics of conversation at school as a teenage boy was what was the funniest skit on the Mary Whitehouse Experience. History Today won out for me every time which is why it was a joy to meet this guy earlier...



You know what time it is? If you don't you probably need one of
these
As I may have mentioned before this is happening tonight...



The Alley is joining forces with
Hogsy
to bring you an evening's musical entertainment. We're hoping that the immortal line in this film rings true...



We have built it and hopefully you good people will come. If you're lost or need information here it
IS!

"Night time...

...is the right time, to look at the art you love. Too many things get in the way in the day, it's the art i'm dreaming of" Usually I write Tonight's the Night when somethings gwan'ing and please myself that it references Neil Young, today for some reason I butchered Bob Dylan. Toby Shuall...



Has been realising his creative impulse three dimensionally using wood and I'm looking forward to seeing the results...



Be
there
Also Nick Jensen has a show tonight too! To keep continuity with the video links here's his First Broadcast part...



His isn't too far away from Toby's...



He's been spending a lot of time in the studio finishing new work for this one so it promises to be good. I'm going to make it to both later on.
