High On Fire are the latest band to get the deck treatment by French’s 1939 skate co. This 30″ limited edition snubb nose log with artwork by Tim Lehi comes in 10″ width, 16″ wheel base and can be picked up from the 1939 webstore. Be quick as there are only 200 of these printed.
Essex dagger and Self Help fiend Horsey has been added to the Backwards Wheels team, the new UK urethane company that has launched this year with Ben Rowles, Caradog Emanuel, Kyron McGrath-Davis and Josh Cox also repping the round stuff.
Expect more from Horsey in the next couple weeks as he shares a part with Ben Raemers in the independent video “Albion” and another part in Jake Martinelli’s video “Rugged Raw”.
Scroll down to eyeball the wheels.
Polar Skateboards graphic machine Jakke Ovgren will be in London to open his first ever solo exhibition featuring his work at Beach London next Thursday.
The exhibition, titled SEX (Sick Emotions X-zibit) will feature drawings, paintings and prints of his unique dark artwork that features rollerbladers being chopped into pieces, fat kids fighting for cake and more Mark McKee, Cliver and Bratrud inspired comic based goodness.
SEX provocatively sees child-like characters in a range of disturbing sexual scenarios and although sounds dodgy as hell, it should have a strong dose of his tongue-in-cheek humour running throughout its theme and will be worth checking out.
This exhibition opens February 27th and run until March 23rd.
Death Skateboards have new decks for Spring in the works. Australian pro Richie Jackson has two new limited whizzplanks that comes with a portrait by Igorism and the Richie Gent graphic by the wonderful Jon Horner.
Adam Moss releases his ‘Moss Hog’ 8.5″ with art by Alastair Mooney, Benson chose to ‘Self Medicate’ on an 8.25″ with art from Ben Cooney and Rob Smith aptly went for the ‘Eraserhead’ that is 8″ in width with art by Rob himself.
Look out for these in your local skater owned shop, or ask your local shop owner to order them in from Power Dist.

Floods hit UK skateparks
Aside from leaving people’s homes under water over the last week, the recent awful weather has affected many skate parks across the UK and it’s a sorry old sight. This photo of Harvey Clements taking a dive over the weekend was sent in by Gavin Swaffield this morning taken from Winchester skatepark in Hampshire. Stourport skatepark is also completely under water too as you can see from this pic below.
Send photos and footage of your local area to us this week wherever you are and if you want to know if skating under water is possible, then this should prove so.
Enjoy footage of this park in Tramore, Ireland where jet ski’s are needed only.
