Maybe it's the Devo...

I've been sleeping on this for a bit.

Mike Anderson's online Krooked part.



He's like the lovechild of Busenitz and Van Wastell.

So, sometimes you've got to treat yourself...



Add this to the list of 'got to go' places.

Doubling up on content. Is that the done thing?

I just put this post up on the Tweaker blog. Figured I'd double post it here as the video is so good...

"Skateboarding for the love of it is so out."

...Was this part filmed PRE-Flip?



If so, that means that Luan came up with this without Ewan and Co. breathing down his neck.

Does stuff like this video part happen anymore without management, PR and marketing (AKA the paid up pro-team/TM, the staff photographer and the employed filmer) giving the skater hell and riding them hard on deadlines, paychecks and cover shots?

You could probably count the amount of times this sort of knockback shit has happened this millenium on one hand. In fact, all I can think of is PJ Ladd.

PS. PurpleTurtleDrizzle - Extra points for filming it off the TV. Lose them all, go straight to jail and don't collect £200 for encoding your username in the top corner of the clip.

Men are pigs.

Good push? check

Good kickflip? check

Good trick selection? check


Sexist as you like or plain honest?
Point is, its rare to see all of the above on a checklist for a girl skater.

Into it.

You have 7,000,000 unread mails.

Cruising YouTube to avoid work is great. Karma rewarded me already for such a grand decision.

I'm guessing this is Reading University time for Si Skipp around 96ish.



I remember being handed tiny comressed Quicktimes of these tricks for an old video part which were never used due to the quality. Stoked to see them somewhere again.

Oops.

I messed up.



Don't you just love tape glitch?
Digital crap.

PS. Everyone in the clip above is over thirty years of age. Kids don't know shit.

...and just to prove it ain't limited to hidden ramps out of sight of the world, here's a couple of tricks from Mile End a couple of days ago.
