Scottish pro John Rattray treats us to a different perspective of himself skating today and growing a beard in this new clip from his Predatory Bird blog. In his own words:
Every now and again Jupiter and Venus are in conjunction in the western sky. Rare shit like that occasionally coincides with me getting a trick that might be worth dropping off at Zero and dumping into the Cold War folder. In between those scarce moments, in order to avoid plunging into the deathly-dark pit of boredom and depression, I tend to make videos inspired by skateboarding. This video is a collection of self-portrait clips shot over the course of a 3 month period in which I completely forgot to shave. The more observant among you may glimpse flashes of severe joy and inner pain throughout.
P.S. It doesn’t have to be Jupiter and Venus, it could be any rare celestial configuration, a blue moon for example.
Concrete skateparks take a lot of effort to build and the skaters who are behind this hard graft sometimes don’t get the chance to skate as much as they would want to. With that in mind it’s good to see Bristol’s Wheelscape grafters hitting up Hullen Edge, Weston Park and Bollington Skateparks up North on a recent trip whilst the weather was better than it is out there right now. 
There’s nothing more annoying than losing footage but there’s a bright side when it suddenly emerges from hibernation.
