I Left My Heart In San Francisco

I just spent the last few days in SF with Zarosh. These are a few of his snaps.

There are a lot of these dudes around.


See what I mean?


First thing in the morning, on the way to get food, Zarosh spotted this bank. He handled it first try!


The newly liberated hubba has been skate stopped again. The bricks have been cleverly removed from the landing. R.I.P hubba hideout.


I bought me a camera for 20 dollars. So stoked. Don't know who suspect topless dude is.


We skated 3rd and army too. The new quarter was sick! Not trying to name drop but Mike York was there, him and Zarosh bro'd down.

Baghead Flats

A new UK Northern scene video that is going to absolutely kill it is called "Baghead Flats" and it will feature Death Skateboards' pro rider Andy Scott. They're not giving much away at the moment except small snippets like this.

A Fishy Cates Section

Dan Cates has had approximately seven thousand video parts during his lifetime of 33 years (actual age hotly contested) and you lucky people now have the opportunity of watching the one that appeared on the Big Worms DVD entitled "Fish". More to come.

Horsey's Holiday Snaps

Chasing donkey's, attending trade shows, and actually doing some skating! Here's some snaps of Las Vegas that Horsey emailed me.



Accompanying Horsey on his adventures is his good friend and talented artist, Kyle Green. Here are some more artistic snaps from Mr. Green



In case it was not mentioned here before (I can't remember) here's a link to Kyle Green's interview that appeared on the crossfire website a while back.

Party Time In Sydney!!!

Schooner tells me that things are heating up in Sydney right now with the Skateboard World Cup being held there in a few weeks, including amongst other things a contest on the Sydney Opera House Stairs!
As with all these kind of things, expect crazy partying, free booze and mayhem, and it just so happens to be on the same weekend as the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras!

p.s.
If you see Schooner pissing in the street, please stop him so he doesn't go to jail again.

Ouch!


No health insurance is a bitch! I d.i.y'd my chin up pretty good. It's a good job girls dig scars or I'd be pretty bummed.

The American Wheel Famine

The shortage of skateboard wheels in the USA hasn't really made the news over here in the UK, but it didn't stop Zarosh from riding just on his bearings and ripping at the Washington Street skatepark. As seen in The Skateboard Mag. Click image for larger view.

Mo' Moggs

In a continued congratulatory kind of affair for getting his "First Light" interview published in Sidewalk magazine, here for your viewing pleasure is Moggins' section from Matt Hirst's 2004 video "Et Cetera".

Happy Birthday To Us

Las Vegas Baby

Don't be fooled, this ain't a picture of me and Seth McCallum in Paris checking out the Eiffel tower. I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas for a few days last week. Thanks Todd!! Not sure why I look so moody, it was pretty cold. I have loads more pictures but I cleverly forgot my adapter and camera to computer cable thing so when i get that sorted I'll show you how we do.

The Now

Everyone's favourite wallriding crazed hippie has gone and got himself a part on the new Transworld flick "THE NOW". Check out the link to the trailer below that hopefully someone will embed for me cos I don't know how to do it.
