Now here’s a treat coming from the archived tapes of Jake Barker from yesteryear featuring our good pal Laurie Sherman. If you knew this man then you’d know that he gives everything and is one of the best pals to have in the back of the car on a trip. His laid back approach to life is slightly different to when he steps on a rig as you will see from this footage shot between 1996 and 2002.

Still got it too. Good work Jake.

Video Feature: Birthday Session at Mile End

The Crossfire Advocates are back again, this time trading private mini ramps in for a rare dry winter session at Mile End to celebrate the birthday of Tom Ball.

Shot and edited by the reliable hands that belong to Alan Christensen and features skating from the birthday boy Tom Ball, Brendan Ryall, Guy Burchard, Laurie Sherman and Terrence Anthony.

Some of you may be familiar with Tom through his good work at BaySixty6. If you haven’t signed the petition to save the park from closure then please get involved here. Out to Tom with this one. See below for London shredding and good birthday vibes.
