Russ and Ben in 'We're Ok EurOk'...

Girl/Chocolate's recent 'We're Ok EurOk' tour has been put together by Meza as a downloadable video up on Crailtap. Tucked away during the Southbank section is Russ and Ben with FGPs...

p.s. By the sounds of it crailtap are having a little bother with the traffic for the new vid, if you do get it downloaded and it doesn't play try changing the .mov to .m4v and it should play in itunes.

p.p.s. Southsea's own Rob Pybus is the one in the middle doing the Portsmouth 'wot you lookin at?'

Tweaker Zine...

The Croydon Cat Club member's Paul and Gorm have been working on a new online skate zine called Tweaker that went live this week. It's going to be updated regularly so is worth a bookmark if you are feeling it...

jay and the likdown...

As well as being busy filming a full part for the next MN production, Jay Tate has just completed his own Southend scene dvd entitled 'the lik vol1'. Check out the trailer and contact Jay to order a copy over at the Likdown site.

Russ and The Skateboard Mag...

Stop the presses! As you may have been reading in other places in the internet village, white grounds skatepark now has an 18 age limit for most of the times its opened and this has become a hot potato with not only the locals but now also with most main skate websites in the UK and worldwide. MN HQ just got word that The Skateboard Mag had put up a news item on the subject here. As you may notice...there is a huge photo of Russ! The photo was taken a little while ago by Gorm during a London meet up. Also linked via an interview with Kevin Parrott and the same photo again (russ needs photo incentives) is an online petition against the age limit and you should get on there and sign it asap.

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!

what's up with your footage?....

now Russ has finished his filming duties for The Harmony it's full steam ahead for the next Monster Network visual feast. Footage is coming in thick and fast at the moment and the next video promises to be one of our best yet.

Teasers, photos, offcuts and general video hype will be up on the site over the next few months....

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...
