Jack Maddison’s self portrait
Here’s a short film by Jack Maddison from the Gyppo Army camp. Explained here:
I have directed this short film to demonstrate a narrative; this is, to attempt to display the transition of me living in London and now Bristol and how I feel at home in both situations and environments. With different scenes in order of my typical daily routines, I am going to get the train to London and film myself riding my skateboard, which is a big part of my life, and then I will suddenly but subtlety be riding it in Bristol all the time filming myself and my journey in reflection and shadow, to demonstrate the way that i see myself in a physical sense.
Tonight London will celebrate Leo Sharp’s “15 Years of UK Skateboarding” exhibition at The Orange Dot gallery in Clerkenwell from 7.30-9pm tonight. This follows successful viewings in Bristol and Manchester where his collection of skate photography has gone down a storm.
Collectors can buy prints from here, spread the word.
Back in the 80’s when dayglo clothing ruled the roost Gillingham’s concrete skatepark in Kent was one of those classic parks that people would travel to from afar. Over the last few months locals have been toying with the idea of digging it back up so it’s fresh for the summer of 2010.
Who knows if it will happen or not but the park is sat there still filled in with rubbish and sand and the momentum online is all go.
Check the Facebook page for updates but let’s hope that this legendary part of UK skateboard history can once again retain its glory. Good luck to all involved.
