Mike Wright apreeeesh Somehow I had never seen this footage of Mike, which looks like it was filmed over a couple of sessions at the works and I was so staggered I had to start a new thread. Obvs it’s not news to say he was/is one of the most transcendentally gifted skaters ever, but just to see what one of his random sessions was like, just beggars belief. A true savant. Big up Mike. Feel free to post up any other gems.

Skaters are grifters poll Are skateboarders grifters? A grifter is someone who engages in swindling or trying to make a fast buck. Mike Mo’s NFTs, Nine Club memberships, Mikey Taylor investments, Supreme scarcities, Blind jeans, Mob grip, Cariuma, energy drinks, perhaps even the notion that skateboarding as a profession… I’m not throwing it all under the bus but I get the impression a lot of the culture is based around snake oil salesmen and this passes over to very dubious business plans. It feels like some skat...

Is skateboarding at its zenith? Is it thanks to ledge curation? I used to think hard goods and construction techniques were the reasons behind the excelling of the physical act of skateboarding but board construction and shoe designs don’t appear to have made massive changes for several years now. However, watching modern skate videos I do feel the methods employed to render ledges skateable has had a strong effect on the tricks we see done. Spots are unlocked snd skaters have the time to set up or shift about, far more than in previous decades. Maybe I’m ...

Trom One of the Irish homies I met and spent some very memorable times with in BCN - Roy O’Halloran has made this sick scene video. Absolute bonafide legend if you ever come across him. Shreds as well as a fine lensman. 100% thread worthy. Not sure if this has been posted in the footage thread.

Comps. Max posted this in the Penny topic. Comp reports in the “mag” were always something to look forward to. They either made you want to have been there, relive it, or kick you up the arse to get to the next one. The only modern equivalent is Voltarol. But obviously there’s not a singular large monthly entity to cover it like in the old days. So what happened? Did comps become wack when people started taking them seriously like some kind of career path? Is it the internet breaking everything as...

Friday stupidity. Ruin a name with 1 letter. Add, remove or switch 1 letter from a skateboard related person, location or thing to completely ruin it. eg Lube Ogden Fart Godoy Boob Burnquist Clit Peterson Gory Rogers Colon McKay etc etc You get the idea.

Justin Parker RIP Hey guys, Much like Tom KP, I can’t summarise how much Justin meant to everyone in Oxford and around the U.K. if you ever had the pleasure to meet him or watch the “skate ninja” in action.

The funeral is on the 29th in Oxford, if you want to attend please DM me so I can give you the details etc. This has been a very hard few days for all involved. Fly high brother

Slappy kerb intel Slappy kerb owners, I need your input: We have a 2-part (so maybe 3m long in total) kerb (by crazyroadwalls) and the new floor of the indoor is tarmac. The kerbs are slipping around a little. Anyone have any advice on what we could stick to the bottom of the kerbs to stop them moving? We don’t want to fix them into the floor permanently. And bear in mind when we skate there it can get to like -10c so soft rubber actually becomes hard rubber. Any help or proven suggestions appreciated!
