Between 2006 and 2012, for some unknown reason, I put together a video edit or two a year, which hardly anyone saw... probably with good reason. But, despite my lack of Dan Wolfe/French Fred level skills, I still reckon some pretty good, fun, relateable... mainly 'low impact' can't Ollie up 'em/don't Ollie down 'em skating went down in front of my barely competent fisheye.
Winter 2011
An edit to welcome 42 skateshop, and to pull together footage from the late summer/autumn of that wash-out of a year (but not quite the deluge of 2012). Ignorant to the politics of local commerce, I foolishly jointly dedicated this to both 42 and Non Stop - the two legit skate emporia in Nottingham town - and the latter were royally pissed at me for doing so. Sorry... I will make it up to y'all with my planned 'changing room photo archive' edit. You can't deny the dope Taskforce track though.
Summer 2010
Almost three year's ago now we went on a rad expedition around south Yorkshire, north Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire - which was a lot of fun. even if it resulted in x1 broken ankle. This edit mainly covers that trip, which only seems like yesterday, meaning we should go again... soon.
Long Eaton Rifles and West Bridgford Daggers 2010
Outputs from a rad year of Manchester and London weekend trips and skating local streets at night and the pre-slightly dodgy refit Lady Bay park in the day.
Scotland and Barcelona 2006
In the summer of 2006, a disorganised minibus full of Nottingham half-wits worked their way up to and through Scotland, hanging with (and being terrified by) such gnarly luminaries as Div Adam and honorary Scott, Paul 'Man' Sylvester. One of the best trips of my life, preceded by the last time I visited Barcelona un-injured. Got married that year as well..... 2006 was a good year. D Bevs and Ad K took some amazing photos of the Scotland mission as well, which are worth unearthing. Some early Bambi and Golding here, for Unabomber fans. Promise to self for 2013: edit more skating to Dalek.
