Sharkey's Street edit



A few weeks ago, we posted a video edited by Alan Glass aka PixelsTV featuring a few 'RAW' bangers from our little ripper Jordan Sharkey... The problem with that was that none of us really gave a fuck about what Pixels wanted to do with that little RAW footage, what with it being dead RAW and that, filmed at RAW spots and RAW scratches on the lens... 
The real party is (and was always going to be) right here- in Sharkey's full street part, filmed and edited by Mr Owain John with contributing footage from Royden. Featuring all of the best footage from the last year, single clips, lines and bails, after travelling far and wide to hit p weird and wonderful spots (that are proper RAW), the lads have put their heart and soul into getting this finished. My days what a treat it is too; six minutes worth of chillers, spillers, hammers, and mind blowers, there's no way you can just watch it once.

In motion



I'm loving this one. Danny Owain and Joe filmed a few more lines whilst chillin' at the Deeside training facility and made a little short edit with a rad concept. Perfectly timed editing blends all the tricks together to make one massive line that is a real treat on the eyes. Well played boys!

Car Park Chronicles



Dave's camera is back from the hospital! Which means twice the amount of VX1 goodness to feast your eager eyes upon. Sony Montana came out to play again in full working order- sound and all- on an extremely soggy evening in Chester, as the skies lit up with electricity. Danny and Dave found themselves undercover at the classic yellow level spot at the multistory car park and thrashed out a load of lines and shit around the mostly vacant vehicle storage area. It looks like Danny got some new shoes too, I don't know, check his instagram.

I don't think anyone took any pictures though, so in case you're unsure- this is what a car park looks like courtesy of google images...
A car park. Just a car park. Where you park cars and film Chronicles

Parklife 2013



Ready for summer yet? Hyped to bag up some footage? Here's a little 2 minute taster of what went down around parks last summer, featuring a load of throwaway clips that never got used... we've already bagged up a load of tricks for this years edit, so keep your eyes peeled for some fresh edits & if you see us out & about, come get involved!

DIY SI




Anyone who's ever skated with Si will know that the guy has one of the most unique styles around. He also has an impeccable ability to keep everyone on the session fully hyped up and there is never a dull moment when he's pushing his wood with you.
So Dave, James Harbridge and Si went down to a secret DIY spot to bust out some clips at dusk and it turned out to be quite a productive session- who'd have thought you could get a whole edit done on just one home made quarter pipe and an abandoned tractor trailer? 
As the BBQ sizzled away Mr Davies came up with some truly ridiculous maneuvers which I'm sure will never be repeated on this spot again! Feast your eyes!
Mega props to those who built the ramp too... you know who you are! And I swear if anyone asks where it is I'll give you a slap myself.

Forecast: 5 lines


Last year Danny fired out a few ridiculous combinations for Forecast Magazine (they're rad- check 'em out at forecastmagazine.com). Not entirely sure how this one slipped through the net and avoided the blog, better late than never though, and always worth another viewing. Bangerrrrzzzz!

Sharkey's clips finally see the light of day!



Feels like years that we've been harping on about how ridiculously silly this video is and how excited we all are for you lot to see it. Well, here ya fuckin' go. Owain has been a real trooper in bagging up footage and Sharkey has been an absolute monster to pull it all off. There's genuinely some mind boggling trickery in this one- I'd advise multiple viewings if only to contemplate which where and what is switch, nollie, backside, frontside, back to front or occasionally up side down.
It's about time the lad got some proper exposure, "about time" being a fitting descriptive; despite Jord only being 17 it feels like this has been a very very long time coming... there's no doubt you'll be seeing this boy cropping up all over the show in the not so distant future.
The original full edit is around 6 minutes long and features more lines, slams, chillers, and fillers, but the boys at Real Skateboards wanted a raw, fast, banger upon banger of an edit for a more punchy effect. So very graciously Owain sent the clips off to Alan Glass for the mini-edit, COULD HAVE BEEN A BIT MORE GRATEFUL THOUGH MATE. Are we arsed there's a scratch on the lens? NO. The spots are a bit sketchy? This is the UK, it's all sketchy. But anyway, enjoy this little eye opener of a video, the rest of the clips are coming just around the corner.
It won't be long before there are some publications cropping up so let's keep this chilled. This vid is truly one for the boys to be proud of, regardless of whoever decides to put their branding on it. Well played fellas. JUXFAM.
