A day at the beach.

Today was a scorcher so we decided to head out to the coast to skate some street and hopefully film for the video. In reality we skated a bit then sat and ate ice cream and fish and chips, can you blame us.

Jimbo was innovating on the seafront.

Has James Coyle quit skateboarding and become a B-Boy?



You decide.

May and June on film

I shot a roll of 35mm throughout May and the first half of June, here are the shots I thought were worth reproducing. I had to reproduce them digitally so the quality is not great but CLICK TO ENLARGE anyway. I will re post them once I have had them scanned.

Jamie Errington's ten tricks

Here's Josh's video as promised.

Thursday Theatrics

Today the sun was beating down on the Toon like little Will beats down on the kids at school. The days blogging started off at a virgin ledge near the quayside, I've always wondered if it would be skateable and it turns out all we needed was copious amounts of wax and someone with pop. It's tough to skate as the ground is rough and there is a drain cover just before it. However the drain does provide a little bump to help you get up to the ledge, Joe busted out a couple of moves before we got busted from the spot. CLICK TO ENLARGE the still images.

Crooked grind.



After getting kicked off the ledge we were heading back to the car when Will suggested skating this road gap for a little while.

Here will front side 180's before getting a bollard up the arse.



Joe then showed Will how to avoid getting spiked after rolling a nice back side flip.



Following the street gap session we headed to pilgrim where Joe intended to skate the gap over the stairs to the car park. In our wisdom we forgot that car parks in town have cars parked in them during the day so Joe headed over to the 8 stair instead.

He landed a few tricks but this is the only decent photo. kickflip.



After getting back to the car to avoid a parking ticket we decided to go to the wasteland to chill and finish the days skating. Jamie was there and was going off.

BS tail stall kickflip out to flat.



BS feeble to 50-50

As you can see Josh was on filming duties and a video featuring much more from Jamie is coming soon.
