Ride of the Millenium

We got a nice surprise in december when a photo I shot of Coyle popped up in the back of Sidewalk Magazine, neither of us had any idea it was going to be in there. I thought i'd stick it up for those who may not have seen the issue. It features him performing a wall ride on the side of the millenium bridge, it was a re-shoot from the previous night and I ended up loosing a flash as Coyle accidently knocked it from its precarious perch above a huge drop down to the inner workings of the bridge. I may have lost a flash but in the end the re-shoot was worth it. CLCIK TO ENLARGE.

Will Creswick

Today I went on a little evening mission with Will Creswick aka 'The Whiskers kitten'. We found most places to be either too frosty because of the recent cold snap or too busy because of the people that inhabit this city. After some dillying then some dallying we eventually decided on this road gap round the corner from the wasteland where 'The Kitten' managed to stomp a couple of ollies. CLICK TO ENLARGE.



Here's a second angle to show the true size of the gap.

5 bridges session

Dan Main is on a media hype these days.

Matty Smith

I promised myself I would make more of an effort to get out and shoot more photos for this here blog so today I met up with Mr. Smith with the intention of doing just that. We had planned to shoot a couple of different things but as usual we didn't actually do either, we still managed to get a couple of shots for your enjoyment though. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

We started at the Jury's Inn car park where Matty did this pole Jam into a 1 metre roll out.



The next spot was the wall ride underneath the Metro bridge which ended up being the last place we shot.
Matty started off with a standard backside wall ride.



He then stepped up with a sick switch frontside wall ride, one of the most difficult maneuvers you could choose to do if you ask me.



Second angle.



It was a short but sweet day and hopefully there will be more like this in the near future.

Dynamix Skance Off

Second in command hd camera op Dan main came up with the goods at dynamix were a hot mix of dance and skating was taking place.

Winter Hiatus.

Over the past month here at Dog on the Tyne we've been on a bit of a hiatus. This was due to bad weather, lack of motivation because of the bad weather and also because bridges seems to be the only place anyone has skated for weeks and every possible angle there has been exhausted beyond belief. Despite this I decided to finish off a roll of film whilst there over the past few days in order to get the blog ball rolling in 2012. Enjoy and CLICK TO ENLARGE.

I will be doing my best to shoot photos on a more regular basis in the coming weeks and months so there should be more posts coming soon.

Sunday at 5 bridges.

Sunday was another wet day on Tyneside so 5 Bridges beckoned ocne again. Nial apparently got buck last night and couldn't really skate so took one for the team and filmed the rest of us pissing about. Edited by Coyle.

Connor North Fabric edit

Fabric skateboards just dropped this sick edit to welcome Connor to their flow roster. Filmed and edited by Josh Paxton.

35mm

I have shot very little 35mm recently but here are the results of a roll that managed to stay in my camera for a good few months. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Firstly we have a couple of attempts to steal some light from Johnny's flashes. It was pretty hard to time as my exposure was only a second long meaning I had to hope Johnny fired his shutter within that second. We did manage to allign our minds telepathically but weren't quite precise enough, I feel this shot of Jimbo ollieing a disabled ramp is timed slightly too late but its the only one that worked at this spot.



On this one the flashes weren't quite powerful enough but if you enlarge it and look closely you'll see Jimbo balancing a nosegrind. I kind of like the ghostly nature of it though.



Here is the rest of the roll in chronological order.











'Welcome to the Layer Cake'.

Night mission.

Last night I went out in order to shoot with Fabric's latest flow bro Conner North. The plan was to shoot a potential Fabric advert but once we had finished shooting it turned into a bit of a night mission as various other skateboard practitioners joined us. Numerous maneuvers were executed, a few of which I am withholding for now and a few of which you can see below. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

The first stop was the Millenium bridge where Matty Smith attempted this frontside noseslide. Unfortunately Bish's light died before he could land it and as it was the only thing lighting the spot he thought it would be best to go back and get it another time.



Despite this he was still all smiles.



After shooting in a couple of other locations we ended up at Bar 55 where Jimbo risked life and limb. He landed this ollie but had to jump off before rolling onto the road because of the car coming round the corner. If you look close you can see it is infact a Police car which then proceeded to give us a bit of a telling off for firing flashes directly into motorists eyes...fair enough. He will be going back to film it with a full roll out in the near future.



More to come soon.

Scott Cherry

I went on a little night time shoot with Mr. Cherry this evening. Here's a cheeky switch flip into a pretty gnarly bank with a busy road for a roll out. I wouldn't even want to roll down this thing regular let alone switch. CLICK TO ENLARGE.



2nd angle.



Hoping to get out on more night missions as the winter sets in so keep your eyes peeled for more posts.

Archives

I recently had a couple of tussles with Tonsillitis hence the lack of posts in the past few weeks. I'm still recovering from the second bout but will hopefully be fighting fit again soon. Here is a shot of James Coyle from the Archives that was featured in Sidewalk last year.
