Double shift...

Russ clocked in for a double shift of skating/filming yesterday, meeting up with Ben and jay during day and heading back out in the evening with Dave.

Croydon In Colchester

Paul and Gorm battled through M25 closures to get up to Colchester on Saturday for a skate with Russ, Vern and Dave. We all got to skate some of Colchester's best natural spots and some of the finest Dave Dixon mad scientist inventions on a pleasant Autumn's day. A bunch of photos and footage got recorded and a fair bit a shralping and pisstaking went on...not to mention orange Sainsbury's carrier bags getting recycled and a Time Team style archaeological dig...

Ripper Mate...

There's no time for slippin' with the new video now reaching the final few months of filming and the cold slowly starting to creep in. Steve met up with Russ yesterday and got a couple of hot moves on film whilst the sun was out around his local manor of Sudbury...

Hythe Nights...

We love the Hythe and if last nights session was anything to go by, there's still plenty more life in the old girl yet.

Sunday Showdown...

Sunday was a footage meltdown, full crew and everyone filming at least a trick each. The video's shaping up nicely....more on that very soon!

Croydonia Safari...

Russ was down in Croydon to visit Paul this weekend dodging rain showers and skating some of the many spots. Some photos were taken, some super8 shot and some footage logged, not to mention the mighty moonbase alpha skated until the sky fell...

Sunset in Croydon...

Paul got a bit of a spot guided tour in Croydon Tuesday night with one bank in particular warming the cockles. A bit of super8 footage good logged and Gorm pulled out his camera (with Paul and Ray on 'the monkey presses the button' duties for Gorm snaps). The boys back in Essex are going to be stoked when they come down for a visit! For more Gorm photos check out gorminator...

Sunshine at Royal London...

Friday's unexpected sunshine and warmth inspired an impromptu skate down at the royal london banks in the middle of the afternoon rush hour for dave and paul. some more skate photos on film and a few new tricks here and there. sometimes impromtu skates are the most fun, such a shame you can't plan them.........!

Found this clip of Mr Gonella from the I.T.F tape vaults. Either or he can do blunt maydays both stances. I think everyone likes a mess about on that ramp down the park!

Wet Dry Wet Dry...

Yesterday was a weird one, one minute it was raining, the next it was drying out. and repeat. again and again. the day started with gonz taking some photos of dave's new mural in the student union at colchester institute. then a meet up with russ to go skate and take some skate snaps. at the skatepark though it was blowing a gale and after a drive to a spot the heavens opened. daffodils say spring, the weather does not. didn't stop dave getting some waterlogged tricks down and some footage and snaps. the skate photos are under wraps for the moment but here are a few others...

Crack in the Clouds (for those who know)...

We managed to get a quick skate in on Sunday, it was a good crew but not alot went down due to a late start and a ropey spot from Russ. The saving grace was left to the end of the day though, with Sandy taking the man of the match honors. Well played S-J!

Funday Sunday...

After a quick visit on Sunday to see Albert Earl Dixon and his proud parents, Gonz, Russ and Veran decided to hit up a few local spots that we hadn't skated in a while. A productive day with everyone getting something in the soul catcher and Veran putting down a speedy line at an overlooked local spot. The Harmony video will reveal all......

Steve Photo...

Dave sent this photo over he took of Steve (and Sandy) back when we were building up the wasteland spot the other month. Cracking snap!

We'll be posting up a pile of unseen photos, old and new, all next week...

Unexpected Sunshine...

On Sunday the weather kinda surprised everyone and how could you not go out skateboarding with a weather invite of clear blue skies and dry pavement? So Russ, Sandy, Gonz and Dave headed out and hit up some new and old skatespots around Colchester. The first spot needs to be christened 'Bird Shit Walls'. Gonz got a bunch on his new griptape to Russ' amusement...until russ saw the birdsnest on his board! After zigzagging all over town and cake for afternoon tea the day ended with an evening skate at Royal London, you can't ask for more than that in the middle of Winter...

Ghetto Boozer, Danijel, Russ, Dave, Camera

Remember a little while we mentioned that The Harmony's very own Scandinavian Yeti Dinijel Todorovic was in Colchester causing carnage to the local spots? Dave took some rather lovely photos at the Ghetto Boozer of Danijel with Russ capturing some of that winter destruction...

Holidays and Wet Griptape

A little while ago between Christmas and New Year Russ, Steve and Gonz braved the damp weather for a spot of skateboarding around some local spots. Steve had a grand design in mind too...
