Here’s another one of those ‘get the teas on’ edits.
Filmed and edited by New Zealander Leigh Bolton, Slice of Life is the first of a series of three skateboarding films with skating from Tommy Fynn, George Simmonds, Marty Girotto from down under. If you liked the Chop Club video back in 2008 then Bolton’s new work should do the trick.
If you were not already aware, Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada also has a town called Hastings but without the pirate history of our very own UK coastal town.
It does have local rippers that are capable of walking the plank and surviving as you will see in this amazing skatepark jam clip featuring Danny Tumia, Tyler Martin, Adam Hopkins, Eisei Sugimoto, Mikey O’Friel and Mason Merlino (Hawaiain shirt) who took the honours on the day.
Press play for what looked to be a great session for all filmed by Daniel Evans.
Denis Lynn has a ‘kin huge bag of tricks. Last week’s win at the Ledge comp in London was the tip of the iceberg it seems as he rolled into Deeside and took numero uno at their local Battle of the Boards comp this weekend with another varied display.
Phil Harvey’s lens caught all the action in North Wales with footage of George Bulin, Reiss Johnson, John Bell and more.

Henry Edwards-Wood continues to find hidden gems in the archives of his hard drives this week. Shaun Witherup‘s Hype Mix was filmed by HTH and Morph.
“Found this old low res on one of my hard-drives a while back and it has had considerable late night and pre-skate viewage with some of the younguns I’ve been shooting with lately. I remember making this edit one night while we were hyping on the the new Wiley album in 2007. Shaun Witherup was and still is one a ridiculously talented community of South African skateboarders who make up such a big part of the London scene. He’s definitely not from E3 but his skating, especially at that time was too raw to not be matched up with this track if only for viewing pleasures of Shaun, myself and whichever skate rats happened to be round at the time.”

Hold Tight Henry has released another Spacial Dependents edit featuring footage at the Southbank during the filming sessions with Mekka for the Slam video, City of Rats.
“Determined to give as accurate a snapshot of the scene as possible, the inclusion of such staple figures in London’s skate community was a must. I met him down there late and chilled for a few hour, bunning and reminiscing about the golden years of Shell Center (look out for some bloggage on that front soon) until the place was quiet enough and he set about his work. Mekka is not someone you would fuck with on road; tough and experienced in the most shady of situations, he aproaches his skating much like I imagine he does the rest of his life – by not fucking about.
“He was trying a line ending on a powerful frontside nollie down the bank to flat, a path rarely taken when the infamous 7 set sits right beside it waiting for the lemmings to fall. He landed on every attempt, either buckling under the impact of his epic pop technique or hitting one of the many elevated slabs that litter the roll out. At one point I’m pretty sure he broke or fractured his arm, having already crippled his shoulder and snapped his board. Either way he did not skate after this night for a good month or so after getting a cast on it. But before that he just drank some beer, smoked a joint and ploughed through the pain until he rode out a few goes later, the results are one of my favourite clips from the video.”
