Ph: Feeble at Saffron Walden by Streetbeers.

It’s never pleasant having to write one these ‘get well soon’ news posts but knowing that Marc Churchill has given so much of his life to the UK skate scene for so many years, it had to be done.

Marc was unfortunately taken out during a routine feeble grind last week (a trick he usually does in his sleep) and somehow managed to snap a load of ribs and destroyed 25% of his spleen in the process.

“I had an operation to stop the spleen bleeding and they put coils up my artery to block the blood. That was crazy coz I was awake while they did it! Gonna be in hospital for a lil’ while longer as the bit of spleen that is dead is now trying to turn into and abscess! I’m on a heavy course of antibiotics and loads of pain killers to try and fight it off! Been a bit touch and go at points! All from a shitty feeble grind!”

So right now Marc is sat in a hospital bed whilst we are all out here getting on with our lives. If you are reading this please keep this thread alive and like this post or leave him a random photo, video or comment in the comments below ↓ and join us in wishing Marc a speedy recovery soon. The scene is useless without him!

You have probably seen this photo lurking the web over the last few weeks so get stuck into the footage below from Steve Rodriguez and note the fake hand! It was Mark Gonzales’ 46th birthday yesterday so raise a glass for this legend.

I guess it helps if you have some support when attempting the kind of crazy shit that Aaron ‘Jaws’ Homoki tends to dish out weekly. Better get yourself some Footprint insoles fast.

The Hull skate scene is documented with big daddy pop Paul Regan and many other Humberside locals in this short documentary.

Piff Sticks have come out of the traps hard this week with a Dead Prez induced dubplate featuring a plethora of smoking bangers. No Nonsense straight to skate indeed. Treat yourself here.

If you are in need of a smile today then enjoy this Keep On Pushin’ edit featuring legendary skaters that include Ray Barbee, Natas Kaupas, Matt Hensley, Pat Duffy, Eric Dressen, Kris Markovich, Salman Agah and many more.

This was put together by Ricki Bedenbaugh for a Berrics REDirect comp where each filmer had 2 months to make an edit on what skateboarding meant to them. The short film is also narrated by Ian MacKaye.

When you look back into skateboard history there are many who pushed us forwards in style and Sean Sheffey‘s inclusion played a huge part. His innovation has been recognised by Greco’s Hammer Hall of Fame today with a montage of some of his finest moments edited by Joey Sinko. Enjoy going back in time to visit Sheffey’s fine style.

When 10 year old kids are laying down 900s on vert you have to take your hat off. Dop yours to Asher Bradshaw, who now has the record as the youngest person to land the 900.

He managed to take it on his 7th attempt on a vert ramp at Woodward West in Tehachapi in California and now overtakes Tom Scharr in the record books for taking a 9. Scharr took one at 12 and went on to become the first skater to land a 1080.

Black Sheep kick off the week with Jiri Bulin’s section from their ‘Too Right‘ promo alongside the second edit featuring footage Lewis Threadgold, Josh Bentley, Ollie Tyreman and a friends section that includes the filmers. Enjoy!
