VERT ATTACK 9 – LIVE WEBCAST – MARCH 14 2015… by skatemalmo

It may be snowing but it doesn’t stop The Worble crew from getting a sesh on.

Charlie Munro is next up for the G-Side treatment left over from the Get3 video. Quintissentailly British goodness.

Joe Gavin has rolled out a killer new welcome edit with Manchester’s Keanu Robson for Landscape Skateboards today fuelled by the upbeat vibes of Frumpy’s Indian Rope Man tune from 1970 and a few cameos in the mix.

“Fog dangling thick. Can’t see the right road, streets are sick”. They certainly are in this. Great work from all involved.

A gathering of skateboarders will be taking place on Wednesday March 25th in London to discuss the days of R.A.D Magazine’s influence on British skateboarding culture between 1987 and 1993.

On the panel you will find R.A.D editor Tim Leighton-Boyce, Vernon Adams, Dobie and Winstan Whitter who will no doubt reminisce some good old days of skateboarding’s past that has paved the way for what we have today.

The venue for this open forum is The Proud Archivist found at 2-10 Hertford Road, North London, N1 5ET – only a few minutes’ walk from Haggerston overground station, on the banks for Regent’s Canal just off the Kingsland Road.

Tickets are £8 a head that includes a complimentary drink from here.

Jessup Griptape are rolling out five super-8 skateboarding films by the one and only Rick Charnoski and have kicked it off with Peter Hewitt who gets stuck into Washington Street’s ‘crete to the sounds of SHED. Filmed in one day on one roll of film.

Follow Luke Murphy, Martin O’Grady, Harry Gerrard and Sam Dearden’s journey to the West Bank where they help build skateparks and teach young people how to skate, bringing happiness to children in a hostile area that is under constant threat of violent conflict in Palestine, Western Asia. The edit comes from Brighton skater Sirus f Gahan.
