The boys from Top of the World skateshop in Ottawa, Canada, are about to bring the pain with their latest DVD Who’s on Top?
The DVD will feature the entire team: Wade Desarmo, Dave Nolan, Gio Namini, Trent Matley, Mike Fyfe, Paul Trep, Richard Sarrazin, William Marshall and Spencer Hamilton.
In case you don’t recognize Top of the World (which you should!) then have an look for their first video Top Dollar that introduced us to Wade and Co. a couple of years ago.
News just in that the Antiz skaters are locked down for a full month of final editing of their long-awaited second video.
Not one to follow the hurd, the team are getting busy in the Barcelona badlands, in preparation for the world premiere set for the hometown of Lyon on 13th January (?). A tour of France and Europe will then ensue.
Expect to find a Triple Shot with Antiz Image consultant and freelance photographer Loic Benoit at Crossfire soon. In the meantime, get comfortable for a long lost article that introduced the team and their first video Antizipated.
Even if this winter is proving to be one of the mildest to date, that’s not an excuse to ignore your indoor skateparks.
You may not be aware but Crossfire’s sister company Division provide finace to a select amount of the top indoor parks in the UK in exchange for music promotions, Revolution Skatepark in Broadstairs, Kent are one of those and almost felt the cold shoulder and went out of business due to extortionate rent rises, but luckily Councilor Chris Wells and the Thanet Community Development Trust have provided a long term lease with the possibility of creating extra outdoor facilities to skatepark owner Dan Chapman! Woo Hoo!
This was a close call, so remember kids- Support your scene! Death and Duffs UK recently passed through and showed theirs.

The usual wednesday night session at Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark was gategrashed by no other than Tony Hawk, Bam Margera and Mike Vallely who were on a recent press trip for Gumball 3000.
For once the skate park was not mobbed allowing them to skate easily under no real pressure. Hawk skated the vert for about an hour and hucked out some massive Madonna’s and Mc Twists(footage here thanks to Jono).
Bam did not bring his board as apparently no one had told him they were actually gonna be able to skate but signed Wolfmother stickers for kids and Mike V had fun on the mini ramp with the regular wednesday night crew.
Sorry if you missed it but you know you will always here news first here at Crossfire.
Droids have one thing on their side when it comes down to the nitty gritty and it’s the fact that they can bloody travel anywhere in the world with a computer and a mug of coffee and settle down for a bit of work.
Much to our surprise last week, Crossfire’s chief web nut ‘Nav’ decided that Sheffield was getting dark and decided to head to Australia, Melbourne in fact, so if you are out there and want to say hello ( i know loads of people from Australia visit us weekly) then get in touch and take him out skating!
Nav will be enjoying the bar-b-q’s and beach bums whilst building you version 3 of this lovely webiste that we hopefully will have live for you in the early stages of the New Year. He promises some surprises and a technical wonderland, so watch this web space!
