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.
