Happy Horsey

As mentioned before, Horsey is now a professional skateboarder and his decks are due in the shops any moment. Here's the happy young boy trying to decide which shred stick to set up first. Choices choices. Click to see his pretty face bigger.

Forrest the dirt boarder

This is Forrest* he only rides dirt boards, not those kooky ones with your feet strapped in.

last week he tried to carve between a pine tree and a wall?

but the tree extended its long arm of justice

this is his ride

heres a blurry photo of him riding a trail cut into a steep hill in the rain

his wheels end up looking like this after about a month, he says he likes them better like this..

dirt wheels have been out of production for a few years now, but forrest will be representing for life. 360 flips? powerslides on street? he even kickflipped a gnarly down hill gap in the dirt

someday soon he'll have an amazing video part

heres a clip

Harroween!

Come and skate with the kids on Friday night at Harroween, then get wasted on Saturday night at the Crossfire jam! Click image for hugeness.

Dont Tell The Featch!

This is some whole next level shit!

AMOSS IN BISHOPS STORTFORD SHOCKER!!!

King Dank himself payed me a visit in Harlow this week and we hit up some local parks.
Here he is hitting one up in Stortford! Halfcab crooks to fakie yo!

Bercy Shows No Mercy

I just got back from a little week long kr3w trip to Paris. There was no real plans, just skateboarding. In between the rain and wind we shredded, partied and ate a lot of bread based food. Here's a few snaps.

Manu was in charge of the show and was ripping hard!

Ellington kickflips as Greco gets papped

This guy was there. Purple passion

The Muska! 0.5 seconds before he busted his leg. Get well soon mate

Muska broke off

Artsy stuff right here

Furby skating the big 5 backwards. So gnarly!

2 Greco's

2 Lizard's

Furby is a badman!

The kr3w at dinner

I saw a guy walking his dog going along the top jump over the wall and down the 30ft drop to his hip. the dog jumped too and landed on him. i think he thought there was grass there. ouch!

Lizard's passion boots!

Straight off the plane hammers by Furby

Sorry, I have way too many photos. For more paris kr3w stuff click HERE

The first is also the day my boards come out and it's my birthday, so if you see me there and you're feeling generous, I enjoy drinking beers and at the end of the night kebabs, cheers! See you there.

Injured, Recovered, Injured

Radman fucked his knee last month. After finally feeling better he went for his first skate in weeks. He learnt this, then he fucked his knee again. Get well soon Mark! (again!)
p.s. I know shooting fisheye directly into the sun isn't a good idea, but my long lens was playing up and i had an itchy trigger finger. What are you going to do? Sue me?
Love from Mark Nicolson- Definitely NOT a real photographer.

Melcher and Zarosh Footage

The Skateboard Mag has this clip on their site here, but seeing as it features Death pros Patrick Melcher and Zarosh I thought it would be OK to nick it and put it up here too. Enjoy.

Santa Cruz

From Monterey to Santa Cruz is an easy hitchike,

to meet Maru at Derby (oh fuck yeah) park

Bodhi (is not allowed in our home) was busting technical w/fatness

Maru was ready for anything pretty much, so we went to Ben Lomond

met up with the Preston

Then we had to break out and into some trippy farm lands, to come up on some choke crops

it was tight.

Motley Krew

One of my main homies, Matt Price was over form Arizona on a Redbull type trip. Here he is with , Kyle Green, Cates and Rob Falcon at a Chris Nieratko show at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. It was a fantastic night that ended with someone peeing in hotel lobbies and me getting to Heathrow at 4am, two hours before my check in to Paris. Up all night drunk, Stoked!

Melcher and Lotti

Next week sees the release of this new Patrick Melcher deck with a graphic designed by none other than Brian Lotti. If that name means nothing to you then you need to learn your skating history. Lotti was one of the originators of today's technical street-skating and if you've ever done a bigspin, you have him to thank for inventing the trick. Another great deck to add to your collection.

Congrats Horse Boy

It's all over the message boards and it is indeed congratulations to Horsey for his imminent step up to Pro status for Death Skateboards. Here are the decks. The first one features artwork from his good friend Todd Bratrud

and the second features a tie-dye effect which as we know, Horsey is well into.

Both of these decks will be released on the 1st of November so make sure to get your hands on one from your local skater owned shop asap, they're going to fly like a horse out of the starting gates.

Weekend By The Seaside

With our glorious Summer in full effect, it's about time you got yourself to the seaside. Blackpool to be specific, as this is going on. Click the flier for a slightly larger image.
