As the pre-historic people of these isles would have said:

Dont miss a thing this summer.

Its all a ride...

...In whatever form, so ride something today.

Macho tail drop trailer

In the true spirit of skateboard cult movies that include 'Thrashin' and 'Gleaming the cube' that seem to come around once every decade, this years offering arrives in the form of 'Macho tail drop'. With pro appearances including Rick Mccrank and John Rattray this should be well worth a look.
Films don't always need a plot/acting do they?
Can't wait for this one...

Sketchbook ramp obsession

I found a couple of old sketchbooks that I used to scribble down ramp and transition designs when I thought of them.
They are literally cover to cover full of drawings and descriptions of ramp and pool designs from a period when I clearly could think of nothing else!
Of course much of it is utter toss that would be unskateable to anyone, but looking back through these books I've found a few gems that could work out real good.

What goes on in my head...I have no idea.
Here's a small example of what can be found on the pages within.

New years resolutions

This year instead of compiling a list of specifics that usually begin with 'I will..'
I thought I would encourage myself in the right direction with a list of 'less' and 'more' new years resolutions.

If you can snowboard to the beach...

...No, I don't think i'll be going in the water.

How to make 15 guitars for your childrens school play

First of all grab some thick card suitable for the job, draw your guitar shaped outline on them, and then with a bloody big knife cut them out thus:

Then you'll be needing lots of paint, so you best be getting under the stairs to find that old tin you once painted the hallway with.
Mix it with some more paint like you know what your doing, and not at all like your making this up as you go along:

Then several (what seems like thousands) of hours later you will have a collection of cardboard guitars:

At this point you may question what on earth your childrens school would want with fifteen guitars for a christmas nativity play.
I'm fairly sure that in the nativity at my school the three wise men weren't a travelling band, and even if they were, who's gonna use the other twelve? Maybe its set in rural Ireland this year, and their holding out for a folk jam session when they eventually get to the stables.

I was further confused when they asked me to produce 16 horses heads.
Not fifteen, but sixteen.

This could only mean that not only must this be some kind of spaghetti western, but one of the cowboys is allergic to playing guitar.
So here's my collection of horses heads:

I can't wait to see this play. It sounds mental.

Cornishman crosses the Tamar!

Newquay bred ripper Adam Moss has relocated to the big smoke for the winter months, sofa surfing at the death house. Good on yer young man.
Here he is shredding the gnar at stockwell.
