Lord of the Swords video premiere at Barhouse in Chelmsford last week was fun, good to see such a good turn out and a mix of old and young faces.

Saw this on Facebook, Barry wakeboarding. Not as glamorous as the Bus Lanes in December by a long shot.

Forgotten Clips

March 15th, 2010

Before throwing an old VHS tape away the other day I fast-forwarded to the end to see if there was any old skate footage and was pleasantly surprised to find old clips between the TV shows. Back when I first got my video camera in 1992 I copied all of the raw footage on to a large VHS tape so I could reuse the camera tapes, a little while later I edited that down to other tapes and then recorded over the raw footage, sadly. Was good to find little, forgotten glimpses of this raw footage though. This one clip is a flashback to just what it was like skating the little mini at Chelmsford skatepark back then…

Cardiel, Leigh on Sea, 1992

January 11th, 2010

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.
