Watch: Zombie Wankers 2

A select group of Newport’s Freestyle team decided to head over to Chepstow for some harmless bowl fun. Sadly, a member of the walking dead pisshead population of Wales bit Tom Steele and things take a turn for the holy shit.

Featuring Grim, Beefy, Tom Steele, Sam Pulley, Jake Collins, Beanhead and many more; out of all the Halloween themed edits, this one is a must-see.

Win the Emerica Stay Gold book!

Emerica released one of the most anticipated and well-recieved videos of the year in September with Stay Gold. Instantly establishing itself as an all-time favourite in many a skateboarders’ video collection, the accompanying book that come packaged with the Deluxe Edition is a must-have for all of your bookshelves.

The book features never-before-seen photography from Ed Templeton, Michael Burnett, Atiba Jefferson and Mike O’ Meally. Curated by Ed Templeton himself, the book serves as as a definitive insight into the Emerica team and the shooting of Stay Gold.

The images contained inside this book are a testament to the longevity of the Emerica family, and are the kind of candid photos that document both the joy and the nightmares of what it’s like to be constantly traveling and endeavoring to create a video part at the highest level. Anyone who has ever gone on a skate trip with some friends or tried to film or be filmed skateboarding will immediately feel the connection and the common thread that connects all skateboarders together. Ed Templeton.

Simply answer the question that follows after a video of Ed discussing the book to be in with a chance of getting a copy.

The deadline for this competition is November 30th

Eastpak Antidote Tour – Live

The Forum/93 Feet East
29.10.10
Photography: Lionel Tapper

Below: Black Pacific leaaaan back

Despite having a gloriously full line-up of acts – Sum 41, The Black Pacific, Riverboat Gamblers and Veara – we only managed to catch a sliver of Sum 41’s set at The Kentish Town Forum. What we do see though is everything you would expect of the band, in a good way. The venue is packed to the rafters and the air thick with perspiration as kids (and those who were kids when Sum 41 first came into existence) bound around and sing their hearts out with unending energy. Fortuitously, we manage to catch “the hits” ‘Fat Lip’ and ‘In Too Deep’ which obviously go down a storm and sound just as anthemic as they always did.

Leaving the venue we are met with the surprise of two double decker buses which are there to take a chosen few (competition winners and media etc) to 93 Feet East for the afterparty. Quite a novelty but also quite handy, meaning that we can avoid the trek from North to East via multiple transport links with one direct mode of transport. Nice. Once we arrive at the site of the party, we’re chivvied upstairs to a private room where we’re greeted with a free bar (yes, it appears they do still exist). So suffice to say it was a rather raucous occasion as Jim Lindberg (formerly of Pennywise; now of The Black Pacific who performed earlier in the night) and one of Sum 41 took to the decks for eclectic but well-received sets. Everyone was merry to say the least and partied into the wee hours of the morning. A very successful Friday night!

Sum 41 brought out the teenager in all of us.
