MONK IN NEW HARLOW PARK SEQUENCE SHOCKER!!!!

Monk has always been there to film, drive, and entertain us over the years and he fucking rules. It's about time we showed some love to the big guy!

So when he's not farting, being naked or killing people on his Xbox 360, he's at the new Harlow skatepark farting and thinking about being naked and killing people.

Bluntslide on concrete that was 20 years in the making. Better late than never!

RONNY CALOW!!!

540 TAILBLOCK BITCHES!!

Now that's a move you don't see everyday!

Amoss Gets Kinky

As promised, here is a little more from Death team rider Adam Moss. Although these two tricks on this kinked handrail are ABDs (already been done) by others, what Adam pulled off later is most probably an NBD (never been done, keep up!), but you'll have to wait for that clip to appear somewhere else.

Flight Of The Condor

Hosted on the Crossfire site is this sequence of Death rider Ben Cundall doing his thing. The sequence was taken by Death's best friend, Styley who will soon be filling up his own blog over in Japan land. Click the image so your eyes can see it proper.

Limited Edition Decks

Get yourself down to your local skater owned shop and see if you can get hold of one of the 100 limited edition 10th anniversary Death decks that are on sale now.

If you don't manage to find one of them, do make sure to buy one of the many other Death boards available. There's a new "Products" image in the sidebar of this blog so click it to see all the latest Death products.

COD

Does COD stand for Captain Of Dyeing? Well Horsey could claim that he is just that as he has knocked up another batch of the ever popular Death tie-dye t-shirts as mentioned in a previous post.

Or does it stand for Compulsive Obsessive Disorder? Maybe, he is a weird one.

But COD currently stands for Call Of Duty, Call Of Duty 4 to be precise, on Xbox Live on which he constantly commits murders during the wet weather we are having at the moment. I'm just bitter as I suck at it. Anyway, here he is leaping in America during dry weather.

Sardine Land

So here is a little story in pictures from a recent trip to the island of Sardinia with Cates, Boots, Styley, our friend John Tanner and myself. Not an official Death trip, more like some mates trying to escape the British winter shitness! Enjoy!

Styley organised and drove the hire car, something which is essential in Sardinia. Thanks Styley!!
It really makes a difference driving to a spot rather than walking miles everyday and being too tired to even stand up, let alone skate! (Rather like our Istanbul skate/hiking trip we went on two weeks later. Blog coming soon!)

Our accommodation was pretty ghetto, we wouldn't have minded but the room Boots and I were sharing had seven blankets on the bed, which caused some confusion til the first night- Below zero temps, window and doors with huge gaps and NO HEATING!

We were also woken up at 6am every day with what sounded like chickens and a heard of goats on the roof.

Boots ruined his ankle the very first time we tried to skate! Rested for three days (Torture on a trip like this) and then rolled it again! Luckily it was nothing too serious, he's fully better now.

No coping? No problem!


DITCH!!!


A mini broom for a mini Cates.


Sardinia RPRZNT!!!


Boots tried setting up a new board to cheer himself up....


...it didnt work.

Here you have the standard rewind huddle, with the added bonus of it being Styley who was getting his shred on for the camera.

It never feels like you are on holiday until you get in the sea. Fucking freezing.

A Cactus

An out-of-season water park is the stuff dreams are made of! Unfortunately too much mess, not enough hours of light, too many miles to drive back and too many weird farmer/inbred lurkers around. A real shame, we tried our best!

This restaurant was next door to the ice hotel and made up of loads of hollowed out tunnels. We had pizza for dinner here everyday! Eight euros with a beer, so rad.

Poser of the month! We looked for this hubba high and low. Captain Styley found it on the second to last night! Dan recreates a photo that was taken here once, shortly before Boots tried skating on his balloon ankle one last time and did one of the best things i have ever seen in my life.


Well, see ya later!
