Death Skateboards powerhouse Dave Allen came 2nd in both of the Georgia Bowl Riders Championships in Columbus and Atlanta recently but destroyed himself so much he ended up having to sit out the pain in a wheelchair afterwards.
Zorlac flew out to visit him to capture some footage for the forthcoming Death video Ordinary Madness and filmed some sessions at Thomas Taylor’s bowl (Grant Taylor’s Dad) and other local spots. Look out for his brand new ‘Death from Above‘ deck that has just been released this month, it’s an 8.5″ rig with a long wheelbase and art by Ben Cooney.
Gravity have been making excellent progress on their forthcoming park in Ilfracombe, North Devon. Pictures from the building sessions have been posted online and skateboarders have been warned to get their wheels ready as the official opening will be happening soon!

Waste-not-want-not is the mission of one woman in Falmouth, Cornwall this year- an anarchist and artist under the name of O’Blue who is recycling old, snapped skateboard decks that have been used by her family. These pieces are turned into jewellery whilst her husband uses the decks that didn’t break to make garden gates, chairs and tables.
You can find Blueprint, Death, Enjoi, Zoo York, Real and Girl decks within the collections that are available online. These include pendants, key rings and earrings that are made from handcrafted, polished cuts of old 7 ply decks and could make fun stocking fillers this Xmas for your lady. Check out what’s on offer below, see if you can try and work out what decks are used from the images below and post your answers on our facebook page.

There’s nothing like ending this week with some skateboard heritage with some archived Powell footage. Lance Mountain and Steve Caballero are filmed sessioning the Crossbones Ramp in 1988, a golden year for many as skateboarding had reached pretty much every city around the world with Powell Peralta’s infamous movies doing damage wherever they were played.
Amazing to see that both of these guys are still ripping. Enjoy this.
