Every spot has its day but with the news of Clipper being bulldozed soon, Thrasher took the initative to lay down some history on the SF spot that partly made Kremer SOTY in 2014 and has tested many more.
Enjoy the ridiculous NBD’s that graced the history books at this weekend’s Bust Or Bail 2 jam.
The only skate connection we know of in Charlton is that UK Santa Cruz 80s legend Shane O’Brien works at the football ground manicuring their pitch, but that aside, the local area needs a new skatepark and this is where your help is needed.
A new petition is doing the rounds for a new park to be built in in Charlton Park, SE7, so if you skate, please sign it as one day you may need support from others for your own. Head here to exchange 30 seconds of your life for the cause and spread the word.

Miles Silvas Official footage
Official pro Miles Silvas shows off his big bag of switch and reg tricks in this sick new edit. Had to watch this twice.
This weekend saw flash mob Thrasher jam at the clipper hubba in San Francisco where five NBD’s went down. Jaws’ kickflip melon was just one alongside Paul Hart’s switch heel bs 5-0 and Shane O’Neil’s bigspin bs tailslide. Figgy laid down a switch bigspin frontside boardslide and Drake Johnson hardflipped over it.
Here’s a few of them but look out for a full edit soon.
Unseen footage from Supra’s Mini DV archive from Erik Ellington, Jim Greco and Chad Muska filmed in Japan is up, with Greco dressed up as Chris Cole?!

The Sunday Roast
Photo of the Week: Anthony Acosta shoots Geoff Rowley front boardsliding a roadside rail in Palm Desert, California. 2010 whilst filming for Propeller.
It’s all about b-roll footage looking back at the making of parts for most this week. The effort that goes into making what we see daily from around the world takes so much effort. It’s refreshing to see raw footage of how it’s made.
Jaws takes the piss in this True Blue retrospective. Just imagine getting back up from any of these tricks
TNT rolled in with a heavyweight bunch of ‘b-roll’ from Propeller. Imaghine if this was your excess footage?
Then Rowan Zorilla blew up the show with these offcuts.
“Hippies were the first one’s to take to the air, right?” The backside air is the subject of Grosso’s Loveletter’s. Watch, learn and burn.
And if that’s not enough, this weekend’s Rant and Rave should entertain.
Our British full length scene video of the week comes from Baghead Kills.
And the Vault is True Blue with Blake Carpenter, Jaws, Dakota, Tim Tim, Pat Burke and more.
Grosso lets rip on those skateboarders that have sold their soul to the devil in this new rant and rave episode. He seems to avoid the issue of sports brands though which should be the entire conversation. Maybe they thought it was too controversial, but it would have made for a far better episode.
This should still make you laugh though.
