Worst customer service, ever.
Even though I have placed several orders previously, and for my latest rang 30 minutes after placing an order and they still wanted to charge me full cancellation fee. Totally unwilling to budge. Fair enoug, I guess - but they would not put me through to the manager who could help and then told me that it is "not their problem anyway".

I ended the call. I really don;t need someone telling me that.

About 15 minutes, the same guy rang me back to call me out on putting a negative report on their guestbook.

Nice working relationship!
Surely there is some law against doing that? I mean, to have the same guy ring you back felt pretty intimidating.

Do not use. Ever.

Amsterdamn Am UK Power Edit

Silent Will's edit of the weekend.

Special.

I Bent My Wookie

Just got back from Amsterdamn Am.
Chima got the Destroyer prize for the weekend...and quite possibly the best non-cash prize, ever.

Flight 93

If I had any sense, I'd keep this look for this weekend in Amsterdam.

























See you there, hopefully...

Why yesteryear was the best.

I need to start up one of these.

Anyway - It was the Blabac Book party last night. Photos were rad, as you can imagine. Two Drake Jones snaps, a bunch of Kalis and Stevie Williams.

...and this

Alex Perelson

Beards

Div

The minds of Rattray and Div collide.
...and it's class.

Check it out.

Hold Tight London interviews

This is going to be amazing. I saw a liitle sneak preview of Tanners part and it was a j-o-k-e.
The premiere is tonight...and I've not booked a ticket.
Looks like I'll be knocking about on my own while everyone else enjoys the DVD.

What a tool.

Chris Pulman

Ben Raemers came to stay last night before he went off on his mission this morning to Belgium, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
I'll meet him in Amsterdam in a couple of weeks for a weekend of riding bikes around the city.

We ended up looking at some internoodles, which led onto going through some footage of new-ish local spots (bear in mind that I've filmed about 10 things in total the past year), which then led me to rediscovering a load of footage tucked away on a drive.

There's all sorts there.
Like this clip of Chris Pulman.



I think it may have been in 'Good Shit', although I'm not sure. I know I filmed Fos' wrist breaking. It was right where Chris' above trick was filmed, just before the mini ramp was built (Which I think was brand new in the Pulman clip). That slam was horrible. I'm glad I don't have the footage and that he does.

Anyway - what pushed me into putting that up was that this morning on my usual internoodles rounds, I came across this Blackbox High 5's.



I'm especially impressed it got past Gonella.
























Chris Pulman's High 5's over at the Blackbox site.

Not digging too deep...

This was a little ad I put together for last years UKSA National Skateboarding Championships.

I think Niall Kenny filmed the Ben Nordberg training footage. I like Nordberg. He is up for it and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Hopefully it is obvious what we were trying to do here. I mean, it's clearly goofy footage of him pissing about while bored on some tour.
Kind of a shame as I wanted to do a really serious one. One where no-one would actually be sure if we were joking or not. I mean, we came out with the "National Skateboarding Championships" (A necessary evil) moniker which kind of reeks of everything I didn't want to be near when I got into skateboarding - so we could of managed to pull off the 'not getting it' angle easily, I'm sure.
Anyway, if you missed it -gutted. It was a good excuse to not only get all the usual contest faces together but also knock about with those not normally prone like Snowy, Joey, Lev, Nicholson, Tom Knox, Tanner, Howsey, Sean Smith and the like. The actual skateboarding was fucking crackers, too.

Good times.

Volcom - United Nations

I stuck this up on the Tweaker blog a few days ago. Old news, I know - but I've just found an embeddable Youtube version.

So...

Volcom just posted their United Nations up over at The Berrics a few days early.
I guess that as their Game of Skate 2 is going up over the weekends, it has pushed stuff like this into a Friday slot.

This clip has a serious list of people – The finally realised best thing ever Dennis Busenitz, David Gonzalez, Aaron Suski, Caswell Berry, Louis Marnell, Little Louie Lopez, Filipe Ortiz, Colin Provost, UK-boy-done-good Ben Raemers, David Gravette, Rune Glifberg, Darrell Stanton, Cody McEntire, Luan De Oliveira, Mark Appleyard.

Make a brew. Watch below.

Zombieland

All this and a Bill Murray cameo, too.

Can't wait.

Having too much time on your hands isn't possible.

Imagine if more people had more time to do what they enjoy.

Why, Youtube would likely have this sort of stuff ten times over.





...although lets face it. It's nothing compared to this:

I've borrowed a camera.

Yup. Gorm lent me a Canon EOS 300D.

I've annoyed the cat too much, so figured I should leave the house to take some pictures.
Cleverly, I ended up at the mini ramp. Probably the darkest spot I could have gone to.

This is my first ever photo of skateboarding.
Nigel Davies. Frontside Mayday. Poor guy.
