Flip’s legendary ‘Sorry’ full length video was released in 2003 and went down in skateboarding history as one of the very best ever made. Tom Penny‘s part featured mini ramp skating in a French barn whilst Edith Piaf sang ‘La Vie En Rose’. Eleven years later, ‘French Fred’ Mortagne has unleashed the extra Penny footage. Press play.
In related Flip news, new recruit Oscar Meza will unleash a full section online on October 8th. Put it in your dairy.

This video gem featuring a very young, then Airwalk shoe sponsored Geoff Rowley in 1995 is just one of the many videos shot for 411 Video Magazine.
At the time, 411VM was our main source for keeping in touch with skate footage worldwide alongside full-length VHS releases, and were available at the best skate shops monthly. It’s strange to think that the internet even back then didn’t cater for video like it does now as broadband/high speed connections was not available like it is now.
The good news is that Skateboarder Magazine in the US have started rolling out all of the 411VM back catalogue bringing you stacks of skate history from various profiles, team features, event clips, individual sections and much more. Keep an eye on it as it rolls out but for now, watch Rowley’s Rookies section that we stumbled across last night.

Watch Slice of Life
Here’s another one of those ‘get the teas on’ edits.
Filmed and edited by New Zealander Leigh Bolton, Slice of Life is the first of a series of three skateboarding films with skating from Tommy Fynn, George Simmonds, Marty Girotto from down under. If you liked the Chop Club video back in 2008 then Bolton’s new work should do the trick.
Southampton ripper Jed Cullen returned from Barcelona’s DC Embassy with one the most enjoyable video edits we have seen in their to date. He absolutely smashes it in this new clip.

Henry Edwards-Wood continues to find hidden gems in the archives of his hard drives this week. Shaun Witherup‘s Hype Mix was filmed by HTH and Morph.
“Found this old low res on one of my hard-drives a while back and it has had considerable late night and pre-skate viewage with some of the younguns I’ve been shooting with lately. I remember making this edit one night while we were hyping on the the new Wiley album in 2007. Shaun Witherup was and still is one a ridiculously talented community of South African skateboarders who make up such a big part of the London scene. He’s definitely not from E3 but his skating, especially at that time was too raw to not be matched up with this track if only for viewing pleasures of Shaun, myself and whichever skate rats happened to be round at the time.”
