Rumours are hitting Crossfire HQ this morning regarding a security breach at Cantelowes Skate park in Camden last night.

Allegedly a Bowlriders reunion party was held at a nearby pub with 9 local London bandits and after a few jars and some serious talks about the opening day, the skaters headed over to the park, and checked out the newly laid transitions.

Within 5 minutes the cops turned up with dogs in vans and cars whilst a police helicopter circled above the park with a large white beam on the guilty!

Police last night were searching for one of the skaters who split from the pack and er.. ‘legged it’. Officers are looking for a man of Asian origin who observers mentioned looked like a UK version of ‘Koston’ seen manual rolling into the dark towards a powerful japanese get away vehicle. Meanwhile, the The FBI are saying it could have been Animal Chin, whilst The Donz is meant to be sending out a hit man from the South Coast to take care of the matter due to the lack of approval…the search is ongoing.

Lessons of the Week:

Don’t check out the bowl until the opening day (2 weeks time) or risk arrest by the entire Police force.

Additional information:

Rumours of the bowl being “too steep” in the deep end have recently been circulating the local London scene. Sources from last nights debacle have confimed that they are indeed steep but will make you lazy cunts skate better, so stop complaining and start training for it like Rocky 5…

When I see how the relationships blend between shoe and board sponsors with their riders, it makes me think of Ghostface’s lyrics on Glaciers Of Ice – “My seeds growin’ marry his seeds, that’s how we keep Wu tang money all up in the family!”

Habitat breathren (Danny) Garcia Face Killah and Raymond (Molinar) The Chef keep it all in the family for the Glaciers of Es.

It’s always nice to see skateboard companies branch out artistically instead of digitally, and Bueno Skateboards have done just that with their new Zine, Hang Five.

A mix mash of drawings and scribbles, the first issue includes interviews with Don Pendleton and Ed Templeton among other things!

Micheal Sieben and the Bueno guys want you to know that they are open to submissions, so contact them if the white balance of your drawing paper isn’t working on the old VX.

In a true David Vs Goliath match up, a New York based t-shirt company called Verte (led by Tino Razo) found itself in a legal battle with Nasdaq index Volcom Clothing after the latter decided to release Verde clothing.

Copyright infringement was the call of the day and it looks like an amicable agreement might be found. Without taking sides, this is a good example of fighting for your rights

The Heroin camp have been a busy bunch recently. With Howard getting a fuckin’ gnarly cover for Document, Fos jet-setting Stateside for artistic duties with Altamont, and the team coverage amassed for Sugar Magazine’s second Battle of Normandy, pats on the back all round are the order of the day.

Sister company Landscape isn’t slacking either with Soy Panday and Joey Pressey filming loads for the new Static 3 video out in New York, and Alan Glass getting his rushed but sweet edit of the team’s La Rue Est Vers l’Image (King of the Road meets Day in the City in France) footy uploaded onto the site for your viewing pleasure. Vote for Landscape here.

And then there were four… The new Adidas skate team has just added a new member that surely won’t disappoint.

Tim O’Connor is the new rider, and he joins Dennis Busenitz, Mark Gonzales and Lem Villem as they travel on their debut tour through America.

Instead of splashing money about, it looks like Adidas are choosing wisely and so far the shoe fits a marvel.

Whilst some people are pre-occupied to figure out which way is the ‘best’ way to skate, the UK was repping ends with one of the year’s hottest events since Annabel Chong’s Gangbang.

The War of the Roses staged Lancashire against Yorkshire, but the winner wasn’t relevant when you see the stellar performance everyone put on. Multiple coping slaps and gruff roars for all those involved!
