Our Ramp.. In the Middle of Our House

Ramp House

Remember Danny Way's part in H-Street's Shackle Me Not where he does a caveman boardslide down the banister inside Mike Ternasky's house to get a part in the video? Well, over in Athens they've taken this concept just a wee bit further. The Ramp House is the kind of place any skater would love to live in. Drool at it here.

102 minutes that changed America.

9/11 was without a doubt the defining moment of this generation and everyone will remember where they were when it took place. The History Channel have produced this fine documentary which chronicles the sequence of events from the time the first plane hit the North Tower to the time of the second collapse. Combining footage by over a 100 amateur filmers and no commentary, it's a very personal look at what took place.

Check out the trailer below and see the full documentary on the History Channel.

Our Edinburgh shop is moving.......

After 8 memorable years on the West Port we've decided to take the leap and move to a new shop. As of June the 1st we'll be in our new home on the Royal Mile. Nestled amongst the tartan towels, see you Jimmy wigs and other useless crap we'll be bringing you all the goodness you'd expect from Focus in our brand spanking new store.

So come and see us then at 270 Canongate, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh, EH8 8AA.

Here's the shop in its old guise on Google Street View. It's the one with the blue awning.

World Industries DVD Boxset!



I came back from a short holiday in Barca to find our order of the World Industries DVD box set had arrived, so I've been treating myself to much 90s goodness over the last few days. The set features all the 90s World videos, from Rubbish Heap right up to Trilogy, and has commentaries for each from the likes of World Industries founder Steve Rocco, Rodney Mullen, Daniel Castillo, Shiloh Greathouse, Richard Mulder, Clyde Singleton & Enrique Lorenzo. There's a bunch of tours & unused footage on the discs too. If you've never seen videos like Trilogy or 20 Shot Sequence, then I suggest you pick this up for a glimpse at the early careers of Jason Dill, Gino Iannucci, Lavar & Marcus McBride, & Daewon Song. If you have seen these classic videos before, then you'll know they're worth picking up. Available at both Glasgow & Edinburgh stores for the modest sum of £24.95. Buy it here.
