Rom 30th Birthday Session

It was Romford Skatepark's 30th birthday on Sunday and a huge session had been arranged so Russ went down and played pass the parcel, musical statues and had a slice of cake in kitchen roll and filmed a bunch of the sick skating that went down.

Romford is probably The Monster Network's oldest and most favourite skatepark and the skating certainly gave the old place a 30th birthday to remember with many old faces and lots of new ones ripping up the concrete.

Deadline? Pah!

Russ met up with Jay, Jama and Date Watson yesterday for what turned out to be a very productive last minute filming trip...

Bromley, Crystal Palace & Croydon

Russ came down to Paul's neck of the woods over the weekend, Sunday saw a hangover bank mission with Gorm and French around Bromley, Crystal Palace and Croydon on a lovely warm, spring day.

Hastings Invasion

Croydon crew headed down to Hastings on Saturday and hit up a bunch of street and transition spots. Gorm took care of camera duties, French handled the gnar spots, Paul took photos and hippers and ringer Jamie Morley straight killed it. The friendly locals were friendly and rad and it resulted in a full day of skateboarding and good times.

Check the rusted up, old metal bowl/halfpipe...lethal when wet and muddy!

Bloblands & Crystal Palace

Paul, Gorm & French hit up a few South London local spots on Saturday, Bloblands and the Crystal Palace banks. Bloblands was flooded but CP banks were fun and due a filming visit soon.

Crawley & Reigate

On Saturday Paul & Gorm popped down to the newish Crawley skatepark and then up to the opening of the brand new Reigate skatepark. Both different and interesting. Check the Crawley top mini bowl...!

mid week rumble...

Half term meant a few of us got out in the cold yesterday, guess the winter is now officially here.

Southend the movie is coming on nicely..

Crew Deep...

Paul and most of the Croydon crew headed over to Southend on Saturday to meet Veran, Russ, Jay and his crew for yet another productive day beside the seaside. Gorm took some hot snaps so keep your eyes peeled for a Tweaker article coming soon...

Mongo's list...

A full crew met up in Ipswich on Sunday to check off a spot list Mondon has been making over the past few weeks. Lets just say half of Mongo's spots where skate spots pre the industrial revolution, however there were a few hidden gems and a good time was had. Good crew = Good times! Oh and Russ and Dave still owe Melvis a snickers and a mars respectively...

FFFFFriday....

Russ and Steve headed over to Southend again yesterday to meet up with Jay and Will, Although Jay brought a spot list with him they still ended up finding more spots resulting in everyone getting something in the bail gun too!

The Harmony In Croydon...

Adam and Dave came down to Croydon yesterday to visit Paul for a little computer geekery and hair pulling plus some skateboarding at the much loved 'Moonbase Alpha'. Poor old Adam took three brutal slams during the day but still managed a sick line through the Valley of Death and Dave learnt a new trick on Tranquillity Base...Houston, we don't have a problem. Later Gorm's home got invaded for a very civilised video viewing...

Save Southsea Saturday...

Paul, Russ and Gorm made the trip down to Southsea for the Save Southsea Skatepark event on Saturday...Russ had a nightmare drive stuck in the M25 car park but made it down and caught up with a street skate session in town. After some filming and photos everyone rolled down to the skatepark for the main event and hooking up with everyone else. Loads of faces old and new were out and it was a great event with some sick skating, everyone was particularly stoked seeing Irv cruising around. Needless to say in true Southsea tradition the pub was soon on the horizon and the day ended with a bonfire beach party through to the next morning! The sun always shines in Southsea...and we'll be back soon on a crew heavy filming trip soon...

New Skaterham Spine...

South London update! Paul and MN homies Gorm and Ray popped over to Skaterham's new spine mini on Saturday...Dave would love it, it's steeeeeep! They also have a great outdoor area with a large mini, nice ledge and some tiny quarterpipes and flatbanks not to mention the indoor vert. Later, refreshments were provided by The Fox pub.

The Golden Mile...

Dave, Russ and Steve visited Southend yesterday to meet up with Jay, Ben and Mark Longman. The sun was out, the spots were good and the chips weren't too bad either!

Terrain spotting in Suffolk...

Sandy and Russ have been hitting up pastures new in sunny Suffolk this week.
More footage in the bail gun too, where's this footage going to end up?
mmmmm.....

Goodtimes in Ipswich...

Russ, Sandy and Mark took a little trip up to Ipswich on Sunday. As well as bagging a load of good footage the boys also came home with some rather nice snaps thanks to Mark's keen eye and quick trigger finger. You can check out more of Mark's photos on his photo blog...

Dunmow Downpoor...

Sunday was a risk it for a biscuit weather day and a bunch of MN faces from all over headed to the recently modified Great Dunmow to try their luck dodging showers (nothing new there then)...
