We are very sad to announce that Police have confimed that the body of the missing local West Country skater Will Appleby has been found after dredging a Bristol canal. Police were originally alerted after he failed to catch a bus home to Ulverston in Cumbria, he had just finished the first year of his media studies course at University of the West of England.
Will was said to have been very much into skateboarding and filming. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends dealing with this news this week, please look after yourselves out there this summer.
Will Appleby RIP.

Emerica just released Heath Kirchart’s Stay Gold B-Side and it’s a beast. The amount of dedication that goes into his skating is phenomenal as you will see from the street footage on this edit. This is followed by a session at Bob Burquist’s mega ramp where you can really get a feel of just how hard it is to skate. Stay with it.
Overall, this is one of the best B-Sides from Stay Gold. If you missed it, read our interview with Heath and enjoy this footage.
