If there was a UK skater who deserves all the sponsorship he could get it’s Ewen Bower. We called Fresh Blood on his steez back in 2007, but now Lovenskate’s biggest popper has been announced as a Vox UK team rider so hail-fucking-yes to that news.
Look out for Ewen in Richard West’s ‘Exposed’ feature that is about to drop into the features pit this week.

Accrington’s Chris ‘Avi’ Atherton has thrown down some more magick on his new DVD release that is being worked on right now with Jesse James and bloody nora, it looks as though it will be as bizarre as we thought.

As the Trunk Boyz were getting tattooed in an ink joint down the road and necking sake bombs, art was being hung in the Hoxton Hotel, hair was being pulled at the Richmix, and a steady wave of people from all corners of the country started to fill the cinema to see Pretty Sweet.
Despite the fact that the team riders were fresh off the plane from the US premiere, the overall vibe was chilled and the Girl fam were certainly hyped on bringing this to London. The film played, the tricks flowed, the beers and cocktails spilled, and the spoilers will remain elsewhere for now whilst the film premiere’s across Europe.
One word that will spring to mind when you get to see this production for the first time is ‘fun’. The Girl and Chocolate teams and crew obviously had large portions of the good stuff filming this over a 5 year period. Look out for the DVD that will be hitting your local skate shop in the next week, or get ready to download it from i-Tunes on the 27th.
Thanks to all at Girl and Chocolate, Diana and all at the Hoxton Hotel for accommodating us on the night and the Never Mind The Art Dump exhibition that runs until December 7th. Thanks to Tiger Beer, all at Form Distribution, Ben Larthe, and everyone who returned home on the night without stealing from The Art Dump. Karma is certainly a beautiful beast. Enjoy.
