After a monster of a year, Henry Edwards-Wood shows no sign of turning off the taps as the Hold Tight London x Slam City Skates website goes online.
The new site will feature frequently updated footage, offcuts, observations and more from the Big Smoke, as well as blogs from the globetrotting John Tanner and plenty more goodness. Click the banner below to go and have a look around yourselves.
Having a sheltered spot at this time of year is not only crucial to keeping those tricks on lock but it’s also a quintessential part of British skating. Nothing beats getting a few of your mates, finding a warehouse or empty carpark, building some ramps and collectively giving Old Man Winter the finger.
Nicky Howells has done just that in this little edit knocked up by James Harris for éS Europe. As expected, there’s some bonkers flippery in here that only Nicky’s legs could achieve. Watch and enjoy below…
Welcome to Miami, the MIA Skateshop video, premiered last weekend and is the latest skate video to come from one of the hardest working filmers in the game, and one the biggest advocate of the VX-1000 ever, Josh Stewart.
The trailer for this has been around for some time but the amount of views it’s had on youtube is criminal. His films accurately reflect the passion and effort involved from both the skateboarders and himself, something that very much deserves your support. So while we patiently wait for the DVD to drop sometime very soon here’s the trailer to remind you that there’s definitely one more big banger to ask Father Christmas for this year.
The film features full sections from two rarely seen favourites Ed Selego and Forrest Kirby, as well as other east coast killers, Brian Delatorre, Ben Gore, Joel Meinholz and Paul Deoliveira.

Thrasher have just announced their 2010 Skater of the Year and, as Phelps states, it was a ‘no-brainer’… Leo Romero is officially the world’s best skateboarder in 2010. Fully deserved too as not only did he absolutely smash it, but he single-handedly took handrail skating to an entire new level.
Watch the video below to see him receive news of his prize and if you’re not convinced then go and watch Stay Gold and Brainwash and try to argue otherwise. Well done Leo!

Mystery have posted the latest section from ‘Color Theory‘ on the Black Box website today and it’s an absolute stonker!
Doubling up as the official welcome video for Vancouver’s Sascha Daley, the section a proper dose of radness to get you through the rest of the week. The colours, the filming, the skating… it’s all super good. And yes… that is a quintuple set in there.

Karim is now officially getting threads from Urban Kreation and to celebrate he’s whacked on their garb and summoned pop from the late 90s to get over huge chunks of grey concrete.
Watch below as Karim gives the block at Southbank a good seeing to.
Relentless Energy challenged filmmakers everywhere this year with Short Stories, a platform to visually define their dedication to whatever creative art they are involved in. Last night, James Gardner’s film ‘Flight of Passage‘, which is centered around Ben Nordberg and Steve Mason of Beta Band, was posted online as the fourth and final short story for all to see.
In a short monologue spoken by Steve Mason about how he is driven to express himself with inspiring advice for those struggling to do the same we are simultaneously watching Ben Nordberg effortlessly perform his chosen method of expression. The stories mirror each other perfectly, and as expected from Gardner it’s superbly shot throughout, massively British and well worth a watch.
See for yourself below. The winner will be announced in December so keep your eyes on the Relentless website.
