I don't personally skate which is why i'm more impressed by the mullen stuff… i'd probably agree with you ant if I did… if that makes sense

I saw Mullen when he was doing the Globe UK tour with Pritchard, guy is simply amazing. I just feel he blends tech and flow very well unlike Daewon which looks like a technical demo all the time.

i've been skating fir over a decade and will continue until i physically can no longer skate.

I no longer get to skate as much as I used to (only 2-3 times a week on average - apart from the last 3 or so months due to the utterly abysmal weather), though i do try and contribute - contributing to mags, UKSA work and so on.

Check out the UK Skateboarding Association - doing great work to improve the standard of public parks and perception of skating in this country, as well as putting on great events like the National championships and miniramp nat. champs.

Oh, and deawon pisses over mullen!

spike jonze' fully flared is probably one of the best skate vids i've seen in recent years.. plus it has some of the best use of music with lower your eyelids by m83 as well as bonus points for use of napalm in a skate video.

forward to 55 seconds for the start.

I used to hang with the president of the association, Kev. I knew he skated but didn't think seriously… Lol. My fave deck was World Industries Jason Lee,. Booom.

Our local SK8 shop "Faze 7/Eat @ Joes" said they were taking deposits 4 hoverboards, then fuk'ed off… Lol

I'm a bit of a dark horse, but i think a couple of people on here already know i'm a long time skater. Have been since about 12/13

Always used to ride zero, then i got into flip and have an enjoi right now

Jamie Thomas for Zero



Also ride bikes and have an s&m; black bike. Love it in contrast with skating much more liberating. i just put on my ipod and take off for miles.

Adam Banton for Odyssey

I'm a bit oldskool when it comes to skaters, when I was a kid my favourite skater was Gator (a nasty man, but the most innovative ramp skater that there has ever been), and since then I've always liked the old H Street team (Ron Allen, Eddie Helguero etc…). If anyone has one of Eddies H Street "Flaming Scarecrow" boards for sale PM me.

used to love their vids (although they seem well cheesy now)
