War Of The Thistles III Footage

ABERDEEN:



Some ridiculous skating went down at Aberdeen's amazingly named 'Transition Extreme' skatepark on the first of WOTT's two legs last weekend. Joe Lynskey & Kris Vile's stuff over the driveway and also Benson & Aaron Sweeney's stuff in the bowl area is what stands out for me.

DUMBARTON:



Nice to see people making good use of the big daft banks/rails at Unit 23 here, Neil Smith's feeble down the long rail is pretty daft. Is it just me or does the old bowl look tiny and slow now that the new bigger bowl is there?

Thanks to MPORA and Sidewalk for the footage.

March footy from sunny Glesgaaaa

Some sick stuff going on in this edit, particularly Forbes Bryce retaining the title of Slam Champion (Slampion?) for the second month running.

Thanks to pAuL dA vXsTeR for the footage.

Campus Vulc?

Went to give a customer a pair of the new Castrucci Campus Vulcs to try on today and found these in their place:



Ta for the jazzy shoes, Adidas!

Unit 23's new bowl is finished

The back area of Unit 23's first hall had been closed off for some time as construction got under way on this monster of a bowl, but now it's complete and ready for the upcoming War Of The Thistles weekend. There are still places left on the WOTT bus (leaving from Eddinburgh) if anyone needs them, get in touch with either shop for more info.



Unit 23 Skatepark
Skateboard Scotland - War Of The Thistles

Typical!

Skate all winter with no problems? Looking forward to the summer? Not Graeme Cunningham, he's looking forward to spending the next 16 weeks on the couch!

Brake your ankle in 3 places? Looking forward to being able to walk this summer?

Get well soon Graeme!

Sometimes staying up watching shit TV is worth it.....

During another one of my bouts of insomnia, I stumbled upon an episode of Wonder Woman that featured this........



Nice helmet Linda!

Big Stu Graham goes pro

Congratulations to Stu on going all professional for Creature Skateboards. As you can tell from the video above he's been ripping harder than ever over in the states, can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve next time he's back at Livi.

The most craziest trick I ever did see

Phoenix Am went down in the old US of A last weekend, and this video
is definitely one of the highlights. If you think a nollie double heelflip down a ten set during a heated best trick session is daft, wait til you see the winner.

Crazy legs

Check the styles coming of this guy! Found this sequence in the latest copy of the French mag Sugar, awesome.
Click the title to see some more crazy legged action.

Edinburgh Skatepark - Round 3

After a couple of aborted attempts the Edinburgh outdoor skate park is back on the table again. The plans are to locate it in a less controversial site and hopefully this time it'll come off.

My main hope is that the gear on display in the picture is mandatory.

Read about it on the BBC site here.

Dr Rae

This photo is about 6 or 7 years old now. Check the height just before the catch!
I haden't seen Andy Rae in a couple of years so it was nice when he showed his face in the Glasgow Shop a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully see him on his board again soon?

It'll bite yer heed aff!

For a few minutes this video restored my faith in the world we live in. Awesome!

Mr Paterson

Been looking through some old photos recently and came across this blunt slide by Toby. I took this a few years ago and you can see a nice blue sky, very rare in Dundee, in fact, not sure if there's been on since!
Hopefully have a few more old photos to post in the next few days
