New Graphics

New board graphics designed by me for Flavour skateshop are available now.
I designed a wheel graphic too for the shops 15 year anniversary.
The designs were based on the traditional Cornish arms (but mixed up a bit) wheres the chough? not on these arms. Its a seagull sat on some chips instead...

Blue suit bombers!!

My attention has just been drawn to this incredible video of Patrick Rizzo and Noah Sakamoto haulin' ass like you wouldn't believe on a crazy downhill run. If the fear of speed wobble wasn't enough, they keep swapping the camera to each other and the road is still open to oncoming traffic!
Downhill videos are two a penny, but this one is a gem.
Enjoy.

Reasons to go camping

Reasons to go camping by Mathew De Abaitua.


It provides relief from the screens that surround you.
Gaze into the fire. It will change you.
It comes with low expectations, and so spares you the rage when your expectations fall short of the reality.
It is a negotiation between yourself and the environment. You can neither perfect nor control it.
It gets your children out of the house and into nature.
Nature is where children learn to take risks and where those risks have consequences, unlike computer games.
It opens you to a life with less stuff.
It puts you in a place where preparation is more important to well-being than money.
You discover the land and its moods.
You learn how to train and use fire, and so control the element required for survival.
You negotiate with your enemies; the rain, the mud, and the cold, cold ground.
You realise you are neither helpless nor in command.
It punishes greed.
It confronts you with waste.
It takes you out of domestic comfort.
It is a break from people trying to sell you stuff.
