Nov/Dec on film
Winter came early this year so shooting skate photos has been a bit of a struggle. Here's a roll of 35mm I shot over the past 6 weeks. CLICK TO ENLARGE.
Remember the sun? Jamie Errington ollie's through it before it disappeared.
With rough ground everywhere Jamie pops a high speed ollie to the road.
Peter Lally ollie's into the light.
Jamie once again, this time he's transferring to backside noseblunt at 5 Bridges.
The following were all taken on the same snowy day last week.
Blinky.
Team Ireland.
More now from Mr Errington to finish us off. Watch out for Jamie in The Harmony's Berlin article in January's issue of Sidewalk.
Ollie up to Five-O.
Backside 360.
Frontside over crooks/nosegrind.
Frontside board slide.
Not much blogging will be taking place over the festive period but the new year will hopefully bring better weather and opportunities to shoot somewhere other than 5 Bridges.

Bridges Archives
Seen as we're in for a long, cold and dark winter spent shivering at 5 Bridges I thought I'd put up some shots from past years to keep you warm.

Jamie Errington back tail Feb 2009
James Coyle back tail Feb 2009. Think I've posted this one before.

Saturday
This Saturday was rather an unfruitful day; I drove all the way to Stanley handrail with the intention of shooting Jamie doing some stunts only to find that it has a nice lip just before it. We spent about 20 minutes trying to fix it using Duct tape, it didn't work. Instead of coming home with nothing we at least shot this cheeky little nose bonk, it's nothing special but at least it wasn't a total waste of time.
Earlier in the day before we went to Stanley I got a couple of sequences of the lads in Shieldfield.
Dan with an ollie nose manny, a trick that is way harder than it looks.
Jamie 180's over to fakie nose manny.

October on film
Sorry for the slackness over the last few weeks. Here's a mix of skating shots of the usual suspects and some others from my recent trip to London. The roll I used was Fuji Provia 200 , I shot it throughout October and hopefully it compensates slightly for the lack of blogging. The spool on my camera broke so I accidentally opened the back before the roll was back in the canister, fortunately I only lost a couple of images to the clutches of the suns rays and it actually had quite a satisfying affect on others. CLICK TO ENLARGE.
This image combines my mistake of exposing the roll to daylight and the mistake of the person who scanned it to create a photo that is potentially better than either of the images that conceived it. Sometimes mistakes breed success.
Brick Lane is a Hipsters paradise, there's street art and fixed gear bike shops as far as the eye can see. This piece of incredible street art is just off Brick Lane, it has been chipped out of the plaster on the side of a building, thinking about the skill and time that went into this blew my mind. The photo is by no means a piece of art but I had to document it.
Here we have my 7 year old cousin repping Slam City and giving society the finger. Or is it directed at me?
As most people know Covent Garden is full of eccentrics like this street performer. Well, someone who sits perfectly still in a costume isn't necessarily a performer in my book but they're still quite entrancing.
Me and Peter Lally were skating back from Mile End park when Lally noticed this furry little fella chilling on a fence post, I couldn't not blog him. He's a bit hard to spot but the other images I took of him were lost in a storm of incompetence.
Back to The Toon and to shooting skaters busting out advanced maneuvers.
Pigs in Wigs' MVP Dan Main executing a tight little tail slide from two angles.
Jamie Errington administers a dose of skateboarding medicine in the form of a backside noseblunt slide.
To finish we have Jamie in the latter stages of a backside tail to switch crooks. A trick that he polishes with style every time.
That's all for now but as the long nights set in I'll do my best to top the blog up like a Sunderland fan trying to top up their pride, it won't be easy.

Pigs in Wigs alterations
The premier date for Bish's latest work of art, 'Pigs in Wigs' has been changed from the 9th to the 16th of October. Be there or be square. Annoyingly I will be square as I'll be shredding the streets of London.

Back in July Crayon Skateboards embarked on a short tour around the south of England visiting a number skateparks constructed by Wheelscape. Part one features skating from Chris Jones, Paul Cooper, Korahn Gayle, Welsh Tommy, Dan Wileman and our very own James Coyle. Kill City rider Nicky Howells and Motive rider Barney Page tagged along also.
