TRUE WORDS


He speaks the truth.
Biking in England can be very trying at times.
DicE mag No5 made me laugh so hard.

Sk8action magazine 1987


A 21 year old magazine article I found in my Crapola in the loft.

Vintage Stickers


My Santa Cruz/Jim Phillips art collection 1980's
I have never worked out what makes grown men/ skateboarders
go nuts for stickers.
We do though?

Triangle headlight





I love the look of these headlights .
So cool that i have took to collecting photos of them.!

UK pool ride





































I have been kicked out of here a few times over the last 3 years.
A rare rideable British pool in an abandoned Boarding school in Swanage.
My buddy James Breeze took us there.
James is the gnarliest F£$ker in British skateboarding.
Always a good amped up skate session with James!

vertical urge




We could be riding our new ramp by the weekend.
The second layer of ply and roll-ins to go on then its finished.
This thing is HUGE.
What is a old man like me gonna do on this?...........help!

Professional Nuisance



In Paris this twat gets off his casbah scooter and annoys the crowds.
He imitates peoples walks and jumps out on passers by in his stupid desert garb and flying hat. This is how he makes a living,
tourists give him money for that??
If you ever have the misfortune of encountering him
then give him a swift kick in the nuts from me!

New Paint From the U.S




Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with metalflake and a miracle or two
The Kandy Man, oh the Kandy Man can
The Kandy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!!!

New Tax from the UK



Who can take a good thing and fuck it right up.
Cover it with red tape and one hundred dollars or two.
The VAT man can, oh the VAT man can.
The VAT man can because he mixes it with hate
and makes the world taste SHIT!

Blackpool was a blast

The best weekend's skateboarding since Corby last month!






The Blackpool park is killer.
We had the best time.
The fullpipe is mad.
Sean managed to grind the oververt edge.
We rode up and stuck stickers at height
but you gotta ride back down,
pipe pasting is super hard to do.
Thanks to a busted up Matt Sefton for the photos.



Kooler Shaker Video

friends Dan and Alex who did my magazine
photo shoot in June have made a little video.
