Video edit and words by Rich Smith
The rescheduled ‘Gert Big Three‘ comp almost didn’t take place due to yet again more unfortunate British weather circumstances (rain on and off all day!) The sun came out for just enough time later in the afternoon for the set to dry (ish) and a session to go down!
First place and £500 went to an NBD fakie front side heel flip from Korahn Gayle. 2nd place with £250 went to Ash Dixon with a frontside flip, back side heelflip then robbed on a few nollie backside flips before slaming his face into the unforgiving slippery tiles of Lloyds. 3rd place went to Ollie Lock with a bolts front shuv, not to mention the numerous impossibles he landed on before the floor got to wet, avit next time kid!
After landing but not rolling countless trayflips down the three during the comp lil Joe Mercer stepped up for some overtime and got his personal NBD treflip at the end of the session, clean as a whistle! Stoked! Keep an eye on www.5050store.com for updates on the next Big Three Jam which will be happening some time in April ’12 when it’s not bloody raining! Thanks to all who attended, BIG UP!

Crayon Skateboards have released the second retrospective pro edit today as promised so sit back and get ready for some good times from Bristol’s Dan Wileman.
We will never be able to thank him enough for repping at Crossfire events over the last 10 years as he has attended pretty much all of them. He has given everything to skateboarding and is one of the hardest working skaters out there, suppport Dan by buying his new pro model on Crayon.

We are very sad to announce that Police have confimed that the body of the missing local West Country skater Will Appleby has been found after dredging a Bristol canal. Police were originally alerted after he failed to catch a bus home to Ulverston in Cumbria, he had just finished the first year of his media studies course at University of the West of England.
Will was said to have been very much into skateboarding and filming. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends dealing with this news this week, please look after yourselves out there this summer.
Will Appleby RIP.
