Back from Spain.

My tray table always looks the same on every flight.

Rabbit and chips. So good.

Mojito the size of a vase.

What I looked at every day - the underside of a parasol.

Seek and ye shall find. Ye might have to pay £1.80 a can though.

The whole town was full of these. About knee high and all kinds of variations.

This.

Re: New Girl/Chocolate Video Unbeleafable « Reply #53 on: July 11, 2011, 11:15:36 AM » As douche bag advertising directors look to steal ideas from skateboarding to continue their dialog with todays youth market, skateboardings top video directors look to mimic the bland, lifeless, uninspired world of advertising cinematography and "in style" effects. This shit looks more like an herbal essence commercial than a skateboarding short. this makes me miss vhs.

Brap!

If an alien lands his saucer in your back garden and you want to show him what skateboarding is you could show him this and he'd get it straight away.

The new best photo ever. "I don't look like him anymore though..." YEAH RIGHT!

So stoked on this board, 8.8" and super long. Fucking amazing and I won't be riding anything smaller maybe ever again - that Skull skates 10" has made 'normal' boards seem tiny. I now have a such a dope board quiver.

I guess the moral of this story is not to ride over a chocolate sundae cup. Oh and that kid in red in the background challenged me to a game of s.k.a.t.e a while ago and I whooped his ass. 1-0 to the old guys!

Theirs is to win if it kills them.

Phone cam randoms.

First pair of 'Eaters since I was a teenager. How embarrassing. 

  

Thanks to Take That's Wembley traffic we got to see just the last song of Dinosaur's set. And it was that shitty one that Barlow just howls all the the way through. :(

The Flaming Lips set was U N R E A L though. My phone ran out of batteries during the first song though so no pictures apart from this. Here's a vid someone else shot though, it makes me grin like an idiot re-living how great this was.

Rach played the opera thing at millennium square this evening. The big screen was pretty far out.

Slappy Hour.

On a Landscape trip to NYC a few years ago I met Conor Fay and filmed a bit of footy with him that got used in the last Coda Skateboards video. Conor is a good lad who looks like a young Robert Duvall and rips the shit out of those raw east coast spots. The new Coda video is below and has a cracking amount of slappies in. Tuesday Crue approved!

Looks like we got ourselves a reader.

Daft trousers but fuuuuuck...



Oh and this is a great quality upload for those of you who were dumb enough to not pick up the box set...

Pretty girls make graves.

Absolute fucking genius.

Warrington, Widnes, Wigan, Leeds...

Click this and read the back of the single above, it's amazing. "Dear Punter..."

The dead sheep they dumped outside the Brit awards after performing with Extreme Noise Terror.

Definitely click and read these pages. So sick, wish I'd been there.

Another Chrome-Ball style tribute post, this time to The KLF - the cleverest cunts ever to be on Top of The Pops. Mu Mu!

Big in Japan.

So I've always been been pretty psyched on the amount of views my old Day In The City clip has got on Youtube...

109,242 views and counting. Not exactly Loose Change I know but not bad going either and I know Ollie is always stoked on the comments. I guess it just has the right ingredients to come up in searches - black metal, skateboarding, Gorgoroth. It might even get some of BA. KU.'s audience. Anyway, over 100,000 hits is pretty good for something we made in an afternoon. Youtube have also offered me the chance to add advertising to earn money off it but that would involve changing the music so I told them to fuck off.

Why then has this, made in about 15 minutes, got over TWICE as many hits?

And it's not even on my account! Some kid just ragga'd it off the Landscape site. 269,554 views!
Now I'm not going to take away from the skateboarding of Joel and Mark or the lovely December afternoon we spent together (at least the bit in the pub afterwards) but why the fuck is this clip so popular? I've searched for the name of the song and artist on Youtube and this doesn't even come up on the first page so I think we can discount Rosemary Clooney fans. Search for "skateboarding bristol" and again it's nowhere to be seen.

That just leaves Joel and Mark's names. Type "Joel Curtis" and you get the clip at the top of the list or type "Mark Foster" and it's about halfway down. I'm not sure what this proves exactly but Joel and Mark are clearly bigger stars than I thought. This clip has waaaay more hits than ANY of the Landscape or Heroin related clips on Youtube - More than Fos, more than Snowy and more than Howard or Soy and those last two are fairly well known in the states.

So, go Joel and Mark! People love them! Nearly as much as they love a dog that can say "Batman"...

That concludes todays inconclusive bollocks.
Thanks.

Nocturnal evil.

Kerbs before herbs.

OK - the best clip on the internet is this. It was clearly all filmed on Tuesdays, you can tell. And just you wait 'til the Tuesday Crue video comes out - the slappy count will be HIGH.
Get well soon Jasper.
