The UK skate company Science Skateboards has just re-launched it’s brand new website with loads of good stuff to watch, listen, read and w*** to (Just kidding!). It seems like this time they’re in it for the gusto, so show some support and check them out pronto!

In fact, if that doesn’t incite a storm of the new site, then maybe the 17 minute promo featuring Scott Howes, Dave Davies, Dan Tomlinson, Shaun Witherup and flow riders Michael Burns and Fran Sprenger might do the trick? Also available for download here so as not to rape their bandwidth to the bone!)

Still not interested? Well then plug into DJ Semantik’s 60 minute mixtape of golden era Hip-Hop! Bangin’!

Quote from the Lakai website:

11/14/2006
Something big is brewing tonight at Ty’s house. Although it’s not likely to amount to that Thanksgiving suprise we were hoping to deliver, it should finally set the stage for a very definitive path to completion/ release. As soon as that’s all determined, you’ll be the first to know so sit tight.

The boyos on boards have been busy filming one-another and the end product looks sweet as a leek.

Alright, enough Welsh pittance, in any case the new Cardiff scene video, Plank Famine is available for £5 p+p and features the talents of Lloyd Coles, Alex Jones, Matthew Popek, Andrew Dyson, Ryan Thomas, Jake Britten, Nick Jones, Dan Trott and friends. Cheers to Dyson for the info.

Watch the promo here and get stoked.

The Blueprint Team are in China right now filming for a future feature on 411VM.

Word on the street says that 411 have invited many worldwide teams over to film in China, the Blueprint Team also stopped off in Hong Kong for a sesh which i guess you will see in a future edition of Sidewalk Magazine as photographer Leo Sharp joined the crew as a stowaway.

Fresh photo’s from Colin Kennedy will hit www.blueprintskateboards.com this afternoon

On a related note look out for Blueprint riders Nick Jensen Chewy Cannon, Neil Smith, Steph Morgan and Danny Brady at this years Crossfire Xmas Jam.

Without dabbling on the age old battle over a certain shoe manufacturer’s involvement with skateboarding, this is one for the opposition: The limited edition Consolidated BS Drunks.

In traditional Consolidated colours (blue, black and white) and emblazoned with a banana, these hi-tops are a slap in the face of fashion. A bold statement and a bag of laughs, this footwear is by skateboarders and for skateboarders. A rare thing nowadays…Available through Power Distribution.
