Grizzly Old Man of the Sea…

November 10th, 2006

A grizzly old man of the sea in general, it is only today that David Dixon has the age to go with it. Dave is now an official member of the 30+ club which means you are allowed to complain about back ache at least 3 times a day, wear tartan slippers, take afternoon naps and pull the “you kids, you don’t know you’re born, i remember when this was all fields and we had to quarry our own curbs and make ramps out of whale bones and mahogany” card at will. Happy Birthday David!

Not that proof is needed but Dave has always been a little handy on the wizzplankaroo. Check this part from ‘Sell Your Soul’ (his own video production) from 1998, so fresh faced! (Daryl has some footage in there too, killing it).

Knives Remix…

What happens when you cross these two numpties with Metallica? Its a Hythe Knives remix, suckers!

Southenders

November 6th, 2006

Sunny Southend has always been a reliable source of good quality skate spots and Saturday’s trip there was no exeption, blocks, bars and some seriously ghetto banks made for a productive day out in the Autumn sunshine. As usual though not enough hours in the day for all that Southend has to offer, return visit very soon!




Autumn Tail…

November 3rd, 2006

Down at the skatepark today, we begin our tale, erm…tail, backside to be precise. November is here and with it the cold air and last bursts of colour before winter wrestles the controls away for another year!

Slider, mustache wrangler and palm bruise collector, David Dixon.

Bored

Once a home for many a networker, Southsea’s tip top skateshop ‘Bored’ recently had an electronic facelift. Check www.boredofsouthsea.co.uk for the new website now with online store, photos and vids (including the sick 2006 trailer). Gary (had a banger of a section in ‘Lately’ and also sunday roast chef par excelance) has been holding it down on the south coast for years now and built up one of the UK’s finest SOS. Give him a bell or buy your goodies online, Current Monster Network favourites are the Bored shop tee’s in particular the south bronx and supreme rip, both getting heavy rotation. Oh, just don’t ask for a discount though, “the calculator says no”…
