SYB Friday (sunday) 666 - 21st Jan 2011

Ok so first off apologies for the delay as my router was fucked! So the SYB Friday is a sunday just this once. Plus with all the shit weather landing in scotland the now the photo ops have been bare. So this little treat comes from last year when it was still possible to shred outside.

Provding the shralpage is none other than the beast from the Strathaven Adam O'bryne with a Dan Drebhol-esque ciggy in mouth boardslide.

In other news Unit 23 in Dumbarton is now finished and hella good so pick a quiet night and go get a shred.

SYB Friday 666 - 14th January 2011

Smokey Joe hitting the new Unit 23

Some of the LADS hit up the New Unit 23 to have a look at the layout and get a wee shred. The place is shaping up nicely and looks like it could have some sick potential. Can't go wrong with a pole jam!

The 1st phase is now open for shredding and you can see here Dunder making full usage of it. Another highlight was Cannibal Colin dealing out a brutal lesson to some wee arsehole bladers! It was fucking epic.

Dunder- 5.0 across and in.. @ Unit 23

THE WEDNESDAY WALLOP




First WEDNESDAY WALLOP and let me tell ye it was a tough choice, as the last week on the walloper has seen some ridiculous footage from Nike, 1031 and Lifeblood but i settled on this Blowout at Pedro Barros Bowl from Thrasher which has killer bowl shreddin all the way through, but the footage o Pedro Barros (last up in the edit) is just insane. Enjoy!

A'Deen Simie Edit 2010

Always good to see the lads from up north shredding hard, and as always Simie producing class edits. Nice work, can't wait to get a skate at aberdeen once this gash weather clears up.

SYB x THE WALLOPER



Aye, thats right your eyes do not deceive you shralpers!!!

Scotlands 2 most demonic blogs are joining forces... every Wednesday to bring you 'The Wednesday Wallop!' on the SYB blog. Every wednesday from here on in, the gnarly bastards of team Walloper will be bringing us their best skate video find of the week.

SYB Friday 666 - Hogmannny

So 2010 has been a pretty fucking epic one, as the blog came into full effect from a tiny retarded idea. It's been a tough start but so far the support SYB has got has been amazing. Next year we have plans to get a bigger coverage of all the rippers and shit that is going on across the concrete seas of scotland so bear with us. But more importantly remember to 'Give it hell' the next time you go for a shred.

So to salute our last 666 of the year have a jager-bomb or some other hellish shot for SYB!

SYB Friday 666 - 24th December 2010

Possibly the most demonic 666 that there may have been posted thus far.

All round mental but sound SYB LAD - Kerr drops a hammer from a while back when things were alot warmer and skate-able in Scotland. Adding to the mentalness of this sequence is the fact Alex (Irvine) from Kingpin supplied it. So cheers Alex and cheers Kerr for a proper shralp present for Christmas!

Have a merry one concrete slayers. See you next year for a hell shred.

Cheers for the photo Budgie you demon!

Fucking RoboDemon Paris

This weeks concrete slaying has sadly had to have been on wood due to the gash weather. But don't worry, Paris fired out this mental shit over the BMX jump at EK indoor park with serious robo-demonic ease. He was killing it.

In other news the EK christmas comp is on tomorrow night from 6-12pm so get yerself over there for a good shralp and see some mental shit go down. Check their facebook for details here: EK Park

SYB Street treats...

SYB is all about "Slaying the Concrete Seas". Its what we believe we are made to do. Its hard to define in any one photo, video, or explanation. Maybe thats why it's so fucking fitting as it can't be confined to one 'box' or thing.... Enough of that shit, here's some of the LADS "Slaying the Concrete Seas" - on this occasion it's the posh and high brow streets of Edinburgh. A little winter treat.

SYB Friday 666 - 10th December 2010

Winter weather blues. It's official the weather has been fucking terrible.

But in the midst of all this shit white stuff - Shezz and a few of the LADS managed to make it to hit up the Garage Skatepark in Livi and get a shred last saturday. Needless to say shit went down and the sesh was getting hellish. Here's a wee taster of what went down. Altho this is a throw away angle. So hold tight for the banger to drop.

SYB Friday 666 - 3rd December 2010

The Vast demonic bludgeoner - Wilmot.
This year has been a real good one, alot of mental skating in general, hell tours and carnage at every possible level. So looking back there have been some LADS pushing it to the next levels too. One such ripper has been Aaron Wilmot, who has made it a mission to fucking annhilate whatever he is skating or smash up his body trying to! So in honour of a good year of hell shredding here's a sequence of him killing it.

Skatepark news

Just a little round up tonight regarding skatepark happenings mainly in the form of a grand opening, a group for one to get built and a refresh of an existing one. So if you can show your support for the folk involved. Or at least be fucking positive about skaters pulling the finger out and trying to make shit happen!

The grand Opening for Gullane skatepark in East Lotian will take place this Saturday on the 27th of November (don't know why they are having the opening in november??!) at the seemingly fun little bowl setup. You can see a few snaps over at skateboard scotland here:-
http://www.skateboardscotland.com/news/2010/11/07/215644.html

Second up we got a group on facebook getting started to get a skate park built in Barrhead. Local skaters are trying to push this through with the help from all you shralpers they can hopefully get things moving forward. All you have to do is join their facebook group here - easy as shitttt:-
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_132610396792740&ap=1

And finally it seems Unit 23 have had their 2nd hall redesigned and should be done in a month or so. From the photos up it looks interesting. Good news for the long winter ahead. You can check out progress on their facebook here:-

Adam "beef flaps" Obeast
Overflowing from the putrid underbelly of some rotten carcass for this weeks 666 is the Obeast of Strathaven! This was taken a few weeks ago at renfrew on that fucking epically distant memory of what a sunny, dry and warm day was like. Just like any trick Obeast does it's usually or all nothing so as you can see by the mingin sweat patches he was fully locked into this smith. On another note if any one knows of a fine set of 'beef flaps' please get in touch with Obeast as he is hyped on them....

Krooked 3D Review

To keep things fresh on SYB we like to get skaters involved from all across Scotland, and even further afield so our latest product review comes from SYB 'Foreign soils correspondent' - Rob Salmon, who is a shralper that also takes proper sick photo's the proper way.. in film! I suggest you check out some of his photo's here: Rob's Flickr.

So here is what Rob had to say about the always individual but sick skate company - Krooked and their latest DVD....

So Krookeds new dvd is here. With footage from the whole team, even plenty of the Gonz. The videos a little different from your average video. With it obviously being 3D. And the way it’s editied into sections of Cities and a park section. The emphasis is pretty much on cruising the city, with plenty of doubles, triples etc kind of shit going on. There’s even footage from Carroll, Rick Howard and Dill to name a few. Bobby Worrest also does some tricks over a Bum in SF. There’s s quick tranny section in there with Lance Mountain skating the Pink Motel pool. Some vert footage, and Hosoi skating the Vans combi bowl. After this there’s the Cementally Hard3d section. With Drehobl and some of the team skating some concrete parks and a jersey barrier. My favourite section has to be the LA section with Carroll, Dill and others just cruising downtown LA skating whatever they come across.

Overall it’s a pretty good dvd with loads of skating from the full Krooked team and a whole host of other skaters. The only thing I would say is that the 3D kind of ruins the main video. It would have been so much better just shot on normal DV. But it is cool that they’ve tried to do something a little different. The actual video comes in at about half an hour long. So it’s not too long to watch before you go out for a skate. There’s also a 2D section with second angles of pretty much everything that’s in the main 3D feature. And also some extras including a Van Wastell section. The box comes covered in the Gonz’s scribblings. With two pairs of 3D glasses and a little booklet with loads of random 3D shit inside. And the occasional 3D photo.

SYB Friday 666 - 12th Nov

As a little token of good zen and karma SYB thought this week's 666 should go to Tbag. Since him and a whole lot of scottish Shralpers are making the long trek south to the Mini Ramp Champs, SYB thought they should be sent off in style.

The shroom gobbler was destroying EKpark last night with a serious amount of ease. As well as socks smashing himself and the ramps up tae. Twas a good skate, too bad about the invasion of fruit booters. The ramp Tbag done this FS ollie on is mental. Its only about 5ft but is basically half vert, so needless to say this was fucking nuts!

Good luck tae all the LADS down south, give it hell.
