Not for the first time I found myself in Queen's territory, this time in foggy 'ol Landan town. My friend Siggy, who is from Norway, and I met in Australia, and then bumped into in Paris, hosted my pasty cadaver in Hackney! Cheers dude! He suffer the genetic condition of not being able to wink! Donate what you can to this tragic child! Bonus note, his dad keeps midget goats on a moat at home in Norway, apparently the mountain ones are way to gnarly!
Why was I here again? The Papal visit? The Papal protests? Filming Kingpin Editor Alex Irvine for my new skate photographer documentary? Visiting the set of Only Fools & Horses? Take your pick!
I was on a bus, all by myself, I'm becoming quite worldly I think.
There he is! Alez' Irvine! We hooked up with some dudes that we could both shoot, but the rad thing about filming with Alex is he rips too! So I often end up filming him as well! He's the busiest dude in the big smoke and he came through like a champ for this project, no dramas, no crap, big up yo'self!
There's a cool plaza style park in Mile End, which I didn't know also had this tight bowl, pretty rad park! Also ran into a dude called Pete from Shankhill (Bray's inferior neighbour town) who now lives here and shreds radder than before, good stuff!
Nassim Guammaz! I'll write it in red so you remember it! This kid is RAD! 15 year old flying Dutchman!
Was so stoked to shoot with him! Proper ATV with no kid style! He dropped some serious NBDs on the DL
in LNDN. So refreshing to see such a promising young kid with a really humble attitude.
Don't let me convince you, just watch this documentary about him instead!
Had a little trouble wiv' the ol' Bill! Background checks are scary! I no like.
To go to London and get two very gnarly tricks at very gnarly spots that have never been done is no mean fete, this kid is going places!
After dinner spontaneous antics from Chris..
Drrrrap!
Ever had to break into a skatepark? What's the point in having one? London bridge skatepark, a home for pigeons. Alex actually did a trick here I've never seen before, what the hell is he thinking? Get back behind the desk ya dick!
Caught up with the nimble footed Mr Jensen- he's finished his masters and is on a rippin' mish! Guess the trick and win broken pencil sharpener.
Young Kasper from Heroin came out and performed some original stuff, once again Johny Law got on the scene and performed their delightfully intrusive background checks.
Apres' humdinger, well played sir!
Its weird, London has such a rep for being a cold anonymous city, but every time I go I'm greeted by the friendliest skaters at every spot we go to, a definite highlight, rad to see the good vibes in the big smoke!
