Caught in the Crossfire – Skateboarding in the UK since 2001 - Skateboarding news, features, skateboard reviews and interviews with leading skaters.

Last weekend, hundreds of skaters voted for their favourite team video from the annual Lords of the Swords video comp. This was the most fun event in the UK’s unsponsored skate scene calendar this year and the bars were raised once again.

Throughout August, all of the skaters you see from these 9 teams were out filming and skating, ticking the boxes of the ridiculous challenges that were laid out before them. Blood, sweat and many beers have been shed in the making of these amazing videos so without any further delay, get a brew on, sit back and take in the UK’s most exciting scene comp. The vote has now passed but you can use the comments below if you are arsed.
