Lords of the Swords 2012 vote!

The Essex skate scene spent a full weekend from the 24th-26th August skating all over their county to tick the boxes of many tasks set for this year’s skate video comp that is the one and only Lords of the Swords. Over 20 teams hit the road this year proving just how popular this comp has become.
These videos you see here are the nominated teams that are into the grande finale. To make it clear, 10 teams are in the main comp and 3 teams are in the Pro Comp. Yes, there will be two winners from this week’s chaos. Don’t forget to vote for both comps.
If you don’t know how this works then listen up, it’s very easy. Watch the videos below and vote for your favourite video edits by ‘liking’ them. The team video with the most’likes’ will be crowned Lords of the Swords 2012 on Saturday 29th September at 7pm. Sit back, watch the entertainment, share the videos online and get voting!
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.
A sunny afternoon at Midsomer Norton skate park with Shaun Currie, Josh Arnott, Korahn Gayle, Barber and more is served up in this latest edit form the Skateboard Cafe.

Henry Edwards-Wood has rolled out a new blog this morning titled Spacial Dependents highlighting the wonderfully bizarre situations he finds himself in to film specific tricks at various spots. His first entry delves into the High Holborn piss spot gap depicting the mission of Steph Morgan.
In his own words:
“Filming skating is a funny old game, in a way you feel like your trying the trick yourself, willing your subject to succeed whilst perfecting the choreography of your own slightly altered path. The rewards are a few seconds of raw kinnetic connectivity between man, wood and his surroundings, immortalised in twenty five frames per second. It always seems so simple when you watch the make, but it is the process that feeds the elation.”
Keep your eyes on this one.
