A new skatepark being built 5 mins from our house, a mate got his first complete set up in 25yrs ready to RIP
Nice!! What size wheels you riding?
Lol that’s what I said to him ,it’s just the angle of the picture. They are spitfire 54mm.
I got these Natas Ojs 59mm, didn’t give them a try yet…
Got to be a 7.75 that looks tiny!
I was on 58mm formula fours for about 18 months, proper fun once I got used to them. Had to relearn crooks as I couldn’t lock in at first back on 54s now though
It’s 8.25 and these really light Indy trucks. Nice set up… he was really really good, went on a blueprint and Nike UK tour with Colin Kennedy and those guys but was Smoking way too much .Moved to Australia and lost the plot… .Clean and sober now good few years so he will probably be back ripping in a few months… I on the other hand have a 10.5 reissue Jason lee ever slick that’s great fun and another slightly smaller Dune stereo reissue, will probably get something similar to that Tom Penny setup but 8.85 , nothing smaller…
Ohh can you name drop?? Was a massive blueprint fan back in the day
Talking of Australia skating and getting on it have any of you watched the docu film All this Mayhem?
Incredible film those brothers were nuts. I might have to watch it again as it was a while ago.
Yeh what a wild pair! So much talent. They didn’t have much good to say about Tony hawk
I wasn’t aware of these SK8 TV episodes that Nickelodeon ran in the early 90s, but great to see Rudy, Gabriel and Guy being interviewed.
It’s a pretty solid documentary on repeat watches. Dark but also quite joyous.
One of the most original skaters ever… Love watching his stuff… There’s a really good interview with him from a few years ago showing where he grew up and talking to his family…
Proper good, glad I gave it the big telly treatment last night!
