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.

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.
Ghetto Sean laughing at a cat falling out of a tree. Sean hates Cats so he was in a state of hysterics for about 5 minutes.
Jamie Errington performing a bs tail stall at a spot that should be shit but isn't.
James Coyle, BS tail slide from a precarious perch.
Bs tail slide on the big block whilst Dale doesn't watch on.
A peak into the abyss.
Pivot to fakie to needle avoidance.
Joe Hill ollie's a lonely road gap that doesn't see much action.
Smith stall.
Jimmy looks through the eye of a gelatin frog.
Niall sporting the scars of a tussle with a Nollie backside heelflip.
Matty morphing into Johnny Bravo, all he needs is a pair of shades.
Jamie bonking his nose in a crooked fashion.
Until next time. Ben.

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.
Noseslide
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
Bs smith grind to tail slide
As you can see Josh was on filming duties and a video featuring much more from Jamie is coming soon.

Thursday
The session started of at bridges to escape the showers where no blogging went. We headed to the wasteland after the rain where we found two separate groups of radgies wielding what looked like shotguns and rifles, in all reality they were air guns but we still didn't fancy getting shot so we moved swiftly on. We made our way to the bank beneath Byker bridge for some blogging action. Here are some sequences of that man Joe Hill again.
Kick flip bs wall ride.
Switch big spin wall ride.

We were all pretty tired from pushing up hill for half an hour at the bank spot so to finish the session we went to a little gap just round the corner where Joe did his usual set of tricks.
Big BS 180 first try.
BS flip
FS flip

'Lenz' Japanese skate video
Here is a trailer for a new Japanese skate video called 'Lenz'. There are a number of Japanese film makers who work in skateboarding and in my opinion they come up with the some of most original and interesting videos. The maker of 'Lenz' is a man called Shinpei Ueno, the combination of his filming and editing skills with some brilliantly innovative skateboarding and crazy Japanese spots will in my eyes produce an extraordinary film.
This section of Gou Miyagi was made by Takahiro Morita and was the talk of the town when it first made an appearance on youtube a couple of years ago.
A montage also made by Morita.

Today I finally managed to prize myself away from the wasteland and went street skating with Joe. We all know what Mr. Hill can do on a skateboard and today he reminded us why he's got a first light coming to a Sidewalk Mag near you.
The session started off poorly. We got shut down by various obstacles at various spots. Cars and angry women meant that no blogging was able to go down at three of the first four spots we went to. Our second spot was a little bar that we found near the quayside quarter, Joe promptly ollied it and did this frontside 180.
We then moved on into town where we proceeded to get shut down at both gap to bench and the national express road gap before any blogging could take place. After that we decided to go to the old faithful spot that is River 5. Joe pretty much put on a personal demo all for me, landing several tricks all very quickly.
First try Kick flip.
FS flip.
Hard flip
360 flip
Nollie Bs flip
To finish off Joe busted out what I'm pretty sure is an NBD at this spot. Nollie fs flip.
After catching my breath we went back to quayside quater which had been our first spot of the day but was blocked by a car earlier. Joe ended the day with a blunt fakie.
