Dykie’s amazing relationship with Dirty Sanchez’ Matt Pritchard goes back many years. The two of them have ran the entire country together and skated many spots for years. This week Dykie’s Crayon Skateboards have released a collab deck honouring ‘Sleep When You’re Dead‘- Matt’s own brand.
This deck comes as an 8″ and is available now from here.
The hangovers will be on an 8+ this morning across Harrow following the filth and the fury that is tradition amongst the Death Skateboards fam on premiere night. Due to demand, their brand new ‘Ordinary Madness‘ film outed itself across 5 screens at the Trinity, screening to a packed house that was full of faces, new and old, including most of the am and pro teams, liggers, locals, punks and beautiful degenerates.
The night was messy, the film was ace, look out for a gallery feature at some point today but lastly – well done to Zorlac, Mark Nicolson and Jake Shunt for working their arses off for the last 5 years to unleash this one.

Chaos aficionado and all round top skater, Matt Pritchard had to check himself into a Swedish hospital this weekend and cancel European shows due to a serious injury. Before you start thinking that this could probably been caused by him nailing his knackers the wrong way to a table, a new tattoo on his leg managed to get badly infected and swelled up leaving him in serious pain following his latest test in the Iron Man challenge.
Full story here but if you are reading this Matt, get well soon from all here at Crossfire.
Jacob Rosenberg’s much anticipated ‘Waiting For Lightning‘ movie screened for the very first time at London’s Prince Charles cinema last night in front of a sold out crowd. UK skaters traveled from all over the country to take in the documented life of legendary skater Danny Way who, alongside writer Bret Johnston, sat back and enjoyed the film before being mobbed and praised by many.
The documentary that can only be explained as ‘epic’, takes you through Danny Way’s history as a child, growing up and skateboarding throughout turbulent family times in Vista, California. It’s a fairly emotional ride, telling a story of the loss, pain, progression, hunger and the ultimate satisfaction of being able to give so much back to skateboarding. The film features the build up to the Great Wall of China jump, the rise of H-Street and Plan B with many guests and close friends and family that include managers Darryl Franklin and Ray Ibe, Way’s mother, Mary, Christian Hosoi, Mike Blabac, Rodney Mullen, Ken Block, Colin McKay, Tony Hawk, Bod Boyle, Steve Douglas and many, many more who share their thoughts on the rise and rise of the most legendary skateboarder of all time.
Scroll down past the gallery of screengrabs from the movie for our exclusive video interview with Danny, ‘WFL’ Bret Johnston and reactions from the UK rabble that left the cinema in awe. Look out for the full DC video that is said to have the creme of the Hawaiian session footage from Danny’s dream home that he spoke to us about in our last interview with him back in 2004.

We have not had the pleasure of seeing Death Skateboard’s Matt Prichard‘s mug on this site for a while so was a pleasure to see his healthy frame on facebook this morning getting amongst it as ever.
Pritch talks about first tattoos, skateboarding regrets, worst pranks and even his fixation on collecting Galaxy chocolate wrappers.
Watch it below and look out for Dainton’s installment next week and find them both at www.pritchardvsdainton.co.uk
