Post date July 19, 2010

Christian ‘Pirate Man’ Hart has been slaving away the past few months for Cardiff Skateboard Club’s first ‘proper proper’ video ‘Join Us‘.

The video follows the groundbreaking (in the vandalism sense) path of the infamous lo-fi masterpiece ‘First Blood‘ and will be certainly filled with bangers from the CSC massive and other Cardiff locals.

So Welsh heads, make sure you have no other plans for Friday July 30th as Dempsey’s Bar is the place to be for the premiere – featuring appearances from a REAL pirate! See you there!

Young Guns at Adrenaline Alley

Post date July 12, 2010

The national unsponsored competition is back at Adrenaline Alley in Corby this year on July 25th.

The comp designed exclusively for unsponsored skaters to get out there and show the UK how much raw, unearthed talent there is. So if you’re under 16 and think you’re something then stop pissing around at your local park and shake up the scene a bit at Young Guns this month.

Entry costs a tenner but there’s a mammoth load of prizes to be won and a banging time to be had. Get out there and get some this summer.
