If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you get hold of a copy of the latest issue of Sidewalk from your local skater owned store. Regan gets his Haunts this month and truth be told, it's a good one. That first sequence is insane...So steezy too, definitely not a trick you see everyday.
Full of good photos and sequences as well as a quality interview with the man himself. Regan's a sick skater and a good lad and it shows. It also happens to be his birthday today, twenty years old. So happy birthday mate, very stoked... I hope you have a good one!
I put up our latest ad yesterday on the front page of the site too so check that out. But if it's not there for you, that would be because the front page loads up at random each time you visit so hit refresh til it appears. You've got a 50/50 chance of seeing the new ad basically...Using my Rainman maths skills, there's exactly one hundred different variations of background, board graphic and ad combinations in total...Hmmm, what a geek. Photo courtesy of Hairy Rob.
And finally, it's about that time again people...Catch Joe, Scott and the rest of London's finest on the latest Hold Tight London edit from Henry and Morph over on their site here...So much good stuff, best one yet maybe? I think so. Check Karim's frontside 360 shove...Unbelievable...Get well soon mate.

What's going on with this rubbish weather lately? Snow, hail, rain, wind, ice...What???? Hopefully this is going to change very, very soon because right now we're trying to get some photo's and sequences together for a company feature on the Kingpin site...Come onnnn God or whoever, sort it outtttt will ya!
Regardless of the weather, Regan gets his Haunts interview and our full page ad in the next issue of Sidewalk so that's cool. Available early April, Regan is a sick skater...Click here for more from him.
Other good news, the next series of deck graphics by Jon Burgerman, Stevie Gee and Jethro Haynes are finished and are looking so sick...These are very special, do not sleep on these... These badboys are getting made real soon and will be ready for the summer months when the sun is shining and you can skate all day in a tee shirt....Bring it on.

Dan and Joe represent nicely alongside the cream of London's skateboarding talent on the latest Hold Tight London edit from Henry Edwards-Wood and Morph. It's a featured video on the Kingpin site and you can watch it right here.
Dan takes two game over slams one of which i'm amazed that he walked away from. Do legs bend that way? I'm not sure... But to make up for it he gets two nice tricks at Southbank and Holborn benches and all is cool.
Dan also has some new photo's on his page courtesy of Luc Lacey and me. Check Luc's work out here, he's a real good photographer. Expect to see more photo's on the site from him soon.

Get yourself down to Slam tonight for the premiere of Ben Powell and Rye's Northern scene video Baghead Flats. Featuring all of your favourite Northerners such as Joe Lynskey, Ben Grove, Danny Beall and Mikey Wright (Did you know that back in the early days, before he got on Blueprint Mike was with us...Such a sick skater.) Also Regan has got a few bits on there too i'm told...It's going to be sick, don't miss it. 6pm at Slam City Skates, click here for the flyer.
Check out the newly redesigned site over at Hold Tight London. Stoked to get one of my photos up on the front page...Yes man. Whilst you're there, have a look at Joe's clip of the week in Henry's blog. He came so very, very close to a switch ballbuster on that one....Being tall definitely has it's advantages...Look out for the next installment from the HTL crew coming very soon.

Harrow skatepark, that fantastic survivor of the 1970’s is due to be demolished. If Harrow Council’s plans go ahead, it will be lost before the summer of 2008, as a new leisure centre is to be built where it stands. The skatepark will be lost if we don’t act NOW. Please take the time to write to, or email Harrow Council and let them know how many of us want this skatepark to remain where it is. It has been a breeding ground for talent for nearly thirty years and must be left for us to enjoy for many years to come.
There’s no time to lose. If we act now, we can save our skatepark.
Please get all the skaters that you know to send emails saying that Harrow should not be destroyed to anjana.patel@harrow.gov.uk and chris.mote@harrow.gov.uk
Do it now.

I know, it's been agessss.... To be honest, we've all been pretty busy doing our thing and haven't really been around to keep you up to date with whats been going on here so there you go. But first things first, I'm sure you've all heard about Henry's crew vid 'Writers Block', if you haven't do not sleep... The premier at Slam went off from what I hear and has been getting a hell of a lot of attention since. Be sure to buy yourself a copy of that when it comes out sometime pretty soon, all the Poets put in a lot of work for that one and it shows...Our Howsey has a killer section. Get over to Sidewalk to read an interview with the main man Henry and to check a special edit which will get you hyped. Check concretepoets.com for more...Support the underground.
Henry and Morph's new collaboration project 'Hold Tight London' is underway, and the first promo edit featuring our skaters Scott Howes, Joe Sivell, good Science friend Shaun Witherup as well as Harmony's Jak Pietryga, Element's Lucien Clarke, Blueprints Chewy Cannon and Neil Smith is now up online, i guarantee you will be stoked... Weekly updates... Click here for that.
I've been off to San Francisco having an amazing for the past four weeks or so, skating hills and some pretty raw spots with the guys from Deluxe. Jarrod who works there incidentally is going to be working on a tee shirt design for us very soon, dope designer...his stuff is sick.
Nice one to Adam from Thrasher, Jarrod, Terry, Mike, Matt, Henry and everyone else i chilled or skated with and last but not least Taylor and friends for the sick day skating in LA. Check Taylor's photography here...he's a cool guy.
Keep an eye out for new photos, sequences and a new edit of our weekend up at Prissick a couple of months back, all coming to the site sometime soon...
