Frankfurt

The slaves are watching and they're jealous

Polejam on tap

I reckon some gnarler could drop in on this!

Get in and build

Me and Mitchell were over in Frankfurt visiting the Bright tradeshow on the 24th/25th January. We arrived back on the island this afternoon. A Frankfurt write up will be posted later on this week...until then I've posted some photos of our trip.

Photographer Alex Irvine has recently posted some photos on his blog (Tour Dick) of some Aberdeen spots.All these spots have been made to skate, D.I.Y. jobbies! Thanks to Dobson and crew for the wee concrete trannies.
Spots can always be made skateable so pull a finger out and get creting...the more spots the merrier.

Waalhalla Skatepark

You've seen the photos on 'Tackyworld' right? Now check out this wee edit I found...this joint looks so fresh!

Giftorm Article

John Österlind managed to get a wee article of his travels in his hometown mag 'Giftorm'.
It's been over a month now so time to show you folks what went in.

"A game of skate in the garage and then straight to the pub"

As I don't speak Swedish I'm unable to understand what the article says but the photos in it are pretty radical...shot by local loons Sam Longmire and Colin Bruce at the kirk rail and Denburn Banks.

Barrier Kult

Quoted by Keith Allan "It's one for all the family, the bundy crew and Al with his spray ons. Some rad shit in there tho. Peace"

Keith recently sent me a link to the 'Barrier Kult' video...this is gnarl at it's finest. If you haven't already seen it then click here to view the full length feature.

Enjoy...

Indoor Crete

Waalhalla skatepark in Nijmegen, Holland

I've seen this park a few times now popping up on the 'Tackyworld' website. Looks interesting and very very fun!

Carl-oz

Damn son thats a tuck knee!

Scottish loon Rory has been busy schralping Aussie crete for the past few months and it looks like he's killing it. Rumour has it he's also got some photos in a magazine down under...good work son.

It’s going to be a beast and it’s happening in the skate park on Thursday the 29th. Come down and check it out and be the first people in Scotland to see it. Followed by a locked-in schralping session. Get on it.

The Knife - Heartbeats

Super Jumbo is 30 minutes of film with Photo Gallery Extras by Alfredo Coloma and is presented in a DVD gatefold digipak . An eye opening insight into a lesser know skateboarding scene in South America.

Friday night sessions 16th, 23rd and 30th January

Heads up locals.
For the next 3 Friday evenings between 7pm and 8pm there will be small groups of kids in learning to shralp the park.
That's the 16th, 23rd and 30th of January.
This shouldn't have too much impact on your session but some lines will be restricted to allow these youngsters time and space.
This coaching has been funded by the Health Improvement Fund. It goes without saying that we rely on funding such as this to stay in the game and also fulfill our charitable aims. Plus...the more kids that get into the vibe of the park the better for us in the long run.
Thanks for seeing the bigger picture.
Cheers
Craig
