The Long Live Southbank campaign moves into yet another week, this time with a new video edit launched this morning from Henry Edwards-Wood and co behind the movement.

Whilst everyone awaits the decision made from Lambeth council regarding the Village Green status (in order to preserve the site itself for community use) a new open letter to the Southbank’s Artistic Director Jude Kelly in video form, alongside a letter regarding the process of the re-design of the new space that has is proposed to relocate skateboarders Hungerford Bridge has been issued.

Last night’s London premiere of Video Nasty hosted by Heroin Skateboards went down a storm. A full house descended in a back room joint in Hackey and walked out of there delighted with the end result. There will be a really average photo gallery tomorrow as my camera decided to commit suicide on the night but here’s a birds eye view from Rogie’s cockpit for now.

Those you remember the Emerica UK tour this year will remember Andrew Reynolds carrying a banana and a packet of digestive biscuits as the team headed out on the road from Manchester. They entertained huge crowds along the way, avoiding the wet weather where possible, and went home with tales, photos and footage to boot.

Watch the official Emerica edit of the entire trip, opened with a line that would have Keith Richards envious. (Don’t forget to switch the hd setting for ultimate viewing).

The National Skateboard Company team has been strengthened today by the tornado skateboarding of the one and only Denis Lynn. Top news that.

You have to give it to Thrasher as they really are pushing this shit to the hilt this year. Get ready for another absolutely mind blowing edit, this time from Benny ‘Big Bollocks’ Hatchell tearing a bowl to pieces.

Tom Crowe and myself have spent some good sessions together over the years. He lives in Morocco thesedays and loves a bit of surfing, but came back home recently for a quick shred.

This NBD at Eaton skate park went down first time, but Spex was there to capture another. Go Croweman, you are sorely missed.
