SYB "Mon to fuck" mondays!

Yet another class tune pick by Bite my wire this week to wash away the monday blues - this week a bit of Tom Waits. "Tom Waits paring down life to the essentials: a warm bed, wood on the fire, and a bottle to pass around in quiet solitude with the only people that matter. Concerns of death or love need not exist in the company of friends."

SYB Sunday SSS - More A'deen shredding

The lads up north have been fucking busy shredding the Hell out of TX this winter and here's some more footie to show the steezy shralping that went down.



Plus a few more sick photos by Stuart Taylor to tie-in with the footie of Gus and alex.

SYB Friday 666 - Friday 3rd 2012

So it looks like 2012 is gonna be an insane year for Scottish skateboarding! With the annoucement that the vert ramp at North Berwick is COMPLETE! So now is the time tae get some pads and attack some 10ft vert...

A big shout out goes to the team at NB for making this a reality and in particular the gnar lad with many names already has just earned himself another for his insane efforts and single minded focus to construct it. Well done Ruari "Rawdog" aka "Transfer" Aka "the Mexican" aka "Fakie" "the Flying Burrito" and now aka "the Vert Vundubar" Britree!

To celebrate here's a little throw-away photo (full write up coming end of the month) with "the Vert Vundubar" testing the transition out with a FS grab

And here's footage of UK vert ripper Sam Beckett, show ye how the fuck it done.

SYB "Mon tae fuck" Mondays!

Fresh from Bite my wire... "He's just recovered from double pneumonia and three simultaneous stomach ulcers, so Merle Haggard is more punk than you. He drinks more than you, shags more birds than you and has probably spent more time in prison than you've been alive. The sun is shining, so let's celebrate with this:"

KINGPIN - Set in Stone part 1

To be honest I think this is one of the best ideas a skate mag has had in a long time. Appreciation at the most fundamental level of Skating, kingpin has made a series of short films about the true 100% skaters out there building DIY concrete parks solely for the joy of shredding them. Epic stuff. go out and support this and buy the new kingpin!

Hellgin Shred

SYB Friday 666 - 6th January 2012

Double vision arses.

A fitting shot of 2 arses, one hairy and one reeking. This was from last autumn when I started (and is still in progress) a doubles interview with the most unorganised cunts I know - Tam Laughton And Obeast.

Hopefully I can get the 2 of them to pull the finger out and do this interview in 2012. Until then here's a taster of a thowaway shot.

Tam sails a Stale over Obeast big reeking dirty back D and arse crack @ Btyre.

Old footage of some ripping Scots

Amazing to see this footage from back in the day. Some tech bristo lines. As well as the likes of Russ and the Commander @ livi - lads I used to look to for inspiration at livi. These guys ripped the hell out that park so much. Respect and replicate!

Bangin tune, bangin lil park, banging shredding.

A little treat on an otherwise rancid night. With shredding from Colin and Paris at the radworx indoor in hamilton.
