Christmas Updates

2012-12-20T03:55:00.002-08:00

so yes, its the end of our 2nd year of touring, and we have done allot of parks and met allot of people., we saw the birth of a few parks and the demolition on Newport Spitty. its good to see how much the riders have improved over the last 2 years as well as the viewers of the shows.

so whats new? and whats happening , where do we go from here.

well as some of you may of read a few of the current riders are moving on to different things, so that means we will be looking for new riders in the new year ,we hope to finish the last few parks in mid and north wales.then moving east into Cinderford, Bristol, Cheddar before moving south into Cornwall. hopefully this time next year i hope to of finished wales and most of Bristol.

so what are you doing now?

Currently im working on the end of year special, a funny video, working with other youtuber and other artists, i don't want to give to much away, you will have to wait till January for that. but for where we are now i am well happy, Richard, Greg , Brady and Beth and been working very hard on this, so i hope you enjoy it.

also, im in talks with other youtuber and company's setting up collaboration videos, hopefully making more people aware of us and what we do,

What about Eduskated?

Ahh yes Eduskated is the new sub series that we are hoping to start in the new year,, we aim to try n get kids off the scooters and onto skateboards, week by week we will show you a trick and how to do them and challenge you to master it by the next video. every episode, a different skater will show you how to do their favourite trick the way they do it, offering help and assistance along the way.

whats this about tshirts wax and wristbands?

well im always nagged by the viewers for tshirts wax and those wristbands, so i have now set an online shop so you can now buy them, we have sizes from age 9 to adult large, and the same with the Skate wax a, and its all located under the 'SHOP' section above.

Anything else?

yep, id just like to say to each and everyone of you who watch and enjoy the show, Thank you, im happy that so many people enjoy it, and im glad if its helped you out on your skateboard travels. and encourage you to keep at it even wen you feel progression is impossible, never give up .

Tenby Skatepark

2012-08-26T16:16:00.000-07:00

Me and Jess thought we would visit the new skatepark in the picturesque seaside town of tenby, we parked at the trainstation and walked to where we thought the park was, we were so close and didn't see it after asking a local carpark attendant, he told us it was the end of the carpark, i wish id parked closer,

The skatepark was a disappointment,it was like a diy skatepark gone wrong, this is proof that not any idiot can build a skatepark, transition was mega wippy, the flats were too short and the steps had no run up, a cheap attempt to solve a growing problem.

sorry to rant, but i do hate bad parks,

Subside Skatepark

2012-07-31T01:39:00.001-07:00

This week we had a invite to the brand new subside skatepark in Bristol. The boys loved the park and were disappointed when they had to leave. Subside is a youth centre in Bristol that have installed a skate park, they have a range of facilities including computers and DJ equipment, food and drinks.

Some great trick came out this week. all this skating is doing us good.

landrindod mini

2012-07-21T01:00:00.001-07:00

This week me an Jessica went to see how the old ''Llandod miniramp'' was doing, this ramp has been there since b4 i could ride a skateboard, its seen better days but is holding up well. we had to mop and brush it first but we had a great time will the locals.

we also popped into the local skateshop, ''heart of wales'' where i was impressed by the shear amount of skate stuff they had, i gave them some welshcakes goodies and bought a new skateboard, and quickly headed up to the ramp.

the ramp was just bellow the main lake, on the road leading to it, on the left, it has a car park bellow it and a kids park above, so its perfect for those learning, but Landod does need a better facility.i think their ready...

this week we were invited to the opening of the Newtown skatepark, every one was excited to go,
The park was easy to find, Leigh from the '' Newtown Skateshop cybercafe'' gave us a post code that took us straight to the car park.

the skatepark was long thin and narrow, but hand a nice open bowl section with bump and a quarter extension,amongst other things...

We were also invited to Leigh's shop. where i sat around in the cozy section while the others played the vast amounts of games, a great day for everyone.
