The Monster Network

Channon sent these snaps through from the other Sunday in Chelmsford.

Spoilers galore but who cares!

A little LBD related news, Dan is now blogging over at New Zealand’s Manual Magazine’s website so if you are missing Dan’s indepth skate analysis, you are in luck. Plus you know Mike Carroll will crop up on the regular. Other Dan news, he’ll be back on these shores in the summer. Stoked! Photos by Chris.

A few photos from the boozy Chelmsford pub crawl right after Christmas. Spiced rum please and than you.

Was very stoked to see Transworld post up a photo of John Cardiel taken by Skin at Leigh on Sea during a tour back in 1992. Also on the tour were Salman Agah, Mark Gonzales, Ron Chatman, Karma and Alan Petersen. A bunch of us went to see that tour so I had a look to see if any of us were in the background and there we all were on the platforms. From the left is Jacob, Little Chris, Kev, Yan and Paul plus Aaron on the lower platform next to Mark Gonzales. I’m not sure if Justin is next to Aaron, but Justin was there (ripping as always).

Anyway, really stoked as it seems nobody has seen this photo before. During the day loads of footage was filmed but sadly it was all on the now infamous lost Monster Network VHS tape (also containing the first Cornwall Trip and loads of street skating footage). Still gutted about that. The good news is that someone else was there at Leigh on Sea that day and filmed loads of the skating, see the footage under the photos below.

Dave has uploaded his fourth Hythe Knives film ‘Last Caress’ featuring loads of sick skating and rugged spots. Really, really good work Dave.

A few pictures from Saturday in Southend.
