Russ found this poster at work, is it the ginger prince doing a spot of moonlighting to make ends meet? Or are there two chisseled ginger princes in this land? C’mon Sandy own up….

Plan B/Dreamland…In Essex!

May 29th, 2007




This coming sunday sees two amazing events for the lovely Essex. The first is the opening of the first Dreamland built concrete skatepark in the UK in Saffron Walden. The second is the Plan B team opening the place with a demo. Think about Danny Way, Colin McKay and Pat Duffy killing the bowls, PJ being PJ and Wenning nosegrind popouts on the fresh ledges all day long. Could be something special. Check the skatepark’s website at www.oneminetpark.co.uk for more details on the park and check out Sandy’s pics of the park building in progress from a little while ago below. Going to be a winner…



Jim Rands Portfolio…

May 28th, 2007


A special Bank Holiday Monday update…it was MN OG Jim’s birthday last week and to celebrate we’ve uploaded jim’s portfolio section with a small electronic mountain of awesome photos he took back in the day. Jim kills it both on his skateboard (check his part in ‘lately’ on it’s watch online page) and with a camera lens so click on the portfolio and enjoy…

You may also have noticed the 1991-1997 gallery is now live too. We’ve added Jim’s photos in there plus some LBD snaps too, including the above pic of Jim and Gonz from 1993. loads more LBD photo goodness coming soon with Dan’s own portfolio…

London/Girl…

May 21st, 2007

Saturday not only saw the Girl/Chocolate team visiting London it also saw a pile of friends from all over the south coming together for a skate in the city too. Russ and Ben from the mighty Essex, Paul, Ray, Gorm and Dave from inside the M25, Gary, Rob, Gosport Kev and crew from Southsea and a special guest from Chicargo, Jacob. Warm ups at Mudchute and an impromtu curb session was the order of the day before the big meet up at dirtbank for the Girl/Chocolate demo. Malto killed it. A few street beers and then a skate along the river to White Grounds for a session and then the pub as the sun set. ‘The Summer of Action’ is at full throttle and it’s not even June yet!
