Russ is quite well known for not being shy of taking a slam or two (see wrestling match update or any slam section in a MN production) but he also takes a few knocks behind the camera too! Good job he's got that camera insured!

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......

Albert Earl Dixon...

Dave and his lovely wife Charlie had a visit from the stork on Friday and now have a beautiful baby boy called Albert! All of the MN wish the new family all the best for the little fella and his mum and dad. Now to vans do eras in newborn sizes?

Here is some footage Russ shot on Saturday of Sandy skating the bmx ramps at Sudbury after sun down...

Sudbury Saturday

Saturday was spent up in Sudbury for Dave, Russ, Gonz and Sandy. A rare blue sky meant an early start at the skatepark and then off to a few local street spots...including one by the smelly dog biscuit factory. "It smells of marmite". nope, dog biccies. As the sun set the bmx ramps got a pitch black night skate whilst dodging wet patches, asking for trouble...

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...

The Harmony - New/Old Shit...

Close friends The Harmony have just put their recent DVD promo 'The Old/New Shit' up on the internoodles, click up there for a watch or 20. Some sick skating going on including some Danijel, Bolland and Veran awesomeness. Hightail it over the The Harmony's website and blog here for more...

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...

LBD, Been and Gone...

Happy new year! Over the Christmas period LBD dropped in to the UK for a short visit from New Zealand. Bit of a seasonal shock going from summer to winter!
