Static 3 London premiere
Last night saw Josh Stewart’s third installment of the Static video series come to London with the premiere at Leicester Square’s Prince Charles cinema.
Over the road, the smallest crowd ever watched as some Z-list celebrities hopped out of taxis to some shitty film, whilst the true stars pushed their way into the tiny cinema to see Static 3 in all it’s glory. With a very last minute premiere arranged by Slam City, Landscape, Carhartt and Kingpin, the turnout was as you’d expect. Bloody packed. Not a seat spare in the building by the time Josh walked on stage to give his thankyou speech to the crowd.
Artsy, atmospheric opening titles set the scene for the rest of the video that featured Tony Manfre, Danny Renaud, Nate Broussard, Soy Panday, Olly Todd and many more. Taking gritty, unknown spots and having them destroyed by gritty, media-overlooked skaters is what Static 3 is all about, and this didn’t disappoint.
Soy’s very Parisienne flavoured section and manuals all over the place got a good shout from the crowds, especially his flip nose manny nollie 360flip out. Nate Broussard impressed with super-smooth style, lines at East India blocks delivered far to easily, and massive tweaked kickflips landing further away than was really neccessary, but pleased people all the same. And he skated to Elliott Smith, stoked. The music choices were in typical Static style that added to the great feel and look of this vid, with a mixture of hiphop, indie, rock and a nice dollop of LL Cool J.
The London crowds were here to see one man though, and one man only – Olly Todd. Filming his part half way through completion, and being unheard of in the US, things have changed a lot since then, but the man didn’t dissapoint. Quirky 180 fakie 5-0s and nosegrinds all over the shop, noseblunts, and my god, his ender! The sequence in a mag a while back doesn’t do it just justice, it’s fucking ridiculous and had people screaming their heads off.
A definite contender for video of the year, no doubt, Static 3 is very very good indeed. And remember, if you sit on the ground with that sort of behaviour, you are little better than a dog. “What, like that dog?”

Krooked mug
As the bony finger of autumn prizes our muscles apart and joinks at our bones and joints, I thought it fitting that to coincide with the tree bits lying all over the place and the dark nights, that I get a new mug to imbibe hot warming drinks. After about a week of trawling through various information sources and websites including wedgewood.com, potteryforbeginners.com and tea_i_up.com and came up trumps on Ebay.
Apparently the Gonz and the guys at Krooked have produced 288 limited edition mugs, most with different designs. As a tea lover, and indeed a wheelyplanker I thought hell yeah! and promptly ordered one from the US. When it arrived I was stoked! Not only did I get a mug, but I also got a load of postal charge stickers, that luckily my work paid for! $3 dollars to send a mug from the US to the UK…what an idiot!
The Gonz has an amazing idea of design, the cup shape itself represents two main rad things about skateboarding that we all love.
1) The internal shape of the mug is the same shape as a full-pipe! Fucking sweet or what!
2) The outside shape of the mug and handle resemble that of a wheel and an independent truck if looked at from the side.
The man is a genius!
I have had the mug for about 3 days now and used it for more than just tea, liquids like coffee, soup, hot chocolate. I have found that cold drinks can also be drunk from it, but its not as good as for hot drinks. I have discovered that the mug can interface with other hot drinks vessels, like my flask.
The design is pretty sweet to, I have number 211 of 288. Although slightly more brittle than a plastic mug, and more heavy than its aluminium counterpart, it is indeed a manly mug. Dimensions : 94 x 81 mm. although 82 mm at bottom, which is handy for stability.
I can seriously recommend these mugs, and they are out there for people to get there hands on…They should cost between 10-15 pounds including postage from the US, I haven’t seen any in the the UK, but I reckon Shiner will know in Bristol, as they do Krooked stuff.
Live the dream!
Whip.
This board is a 7.8 width with quite a mellow concave which for me is about right making it a comfortable skate right from the start making it perfect for both street and transitions.
The shape is sublime with the tail being slightly narrower than the nose but not tapering off so it’s all pointy and horrible. The wood on this board feels great. It’s got some fantastic pop that seems to have lasted more than most boards I have ridden this year and i go through one a month at least. The graphic is simple, but no one buys them for graphics anyway and usually Stereo graphics are pretty cool all round, you just have to see their art direction from their webiste to know they are still messing when it comes to their art, it’s all been top quality from day one .
All in all this has been a good board for me. It’s the third Stereo board I’ve had and they have all been there for me weekly with really good shapes and good quality overall. Grab this board today and don’t forget that you will be helping Olly Todd to get get the beers in!
Get one.
