Part deux has arrived from NYSkateboarding‘s couch interview with Jason Dill and Gino Iannucci. The subject matter of the inevitable story of Gino leaving Chocolate to the new FA graphic selection process and colours are discussed amongst more.
If you missed part 1, then follow your nose and watch it first.
It’s not often that skateboards are blamed for fire related incidents but recent reports from firefighters in West Yorkshire confirmed that Josh Jarvis’ deck started a freak blaze in his parents home last month.
Following an investigation, fire chiefs found that a skateboard (sitting idle for over 4 years) had been in contact with central heating pipes over a long period of time until ‘pyrophoric action’ kicked in, igniting the wood.
It seems absolutely ridiculous but apparently “the temperature variation of the heating going on and off cooks the wood like charcoal and eventually if the combination is right it will go into a smouldering fire and then will ignite something,” says Fire Investigator Mark Whitaker. The fire wrecked a room and into their hallway but did not spread to the rest of the building thankfully.
Skate Police are said to be making enquiries to possibly charge the kid for negligence as leaving your rig for so long without a schralp should be a crime. Lesson learned here: Never leave your rig alone for no longer than a week or risk it setting fire to itself in protest.

Pardon the pun but it’s refreshing to see a water company enter the skate scene for once rather than a new energy drink. Amazed it’s taken so long for one to arrive but they have chosen Tony Hawk, Jaws, Chris Joslin and Jamie Thomas to front the project with some sponsorship bills to be involved in its launch.
Fred is made from #1 PET plastic, the most widely recycled plastic in the world and encourages re-use. That aside, the photo above looks like it needs to be photoshopped with the baby Jesus, first to shop it wins the internet.
