The old norsk word 'Valknut' seems to be very apt for this post. It translates as 'the slain warrior' and this week's 666 is a tribute to the fallen 'Concrete Slayer' - Adam Paris, who got his collarbone smashed up shredding the Saughton Bowl.
Sometimes you gotta lay your body on the line when yer going for it. But probably one of the best qualities of skateboarding that SYB salutes is sucking up the pain, brushing yerself off, having a laugh at yerself then getting back on that sometimes infuriating piece of wood tae shralp again.
I know for a fact tho, that this demon of a skater will be back soon - ripping the absolute shit out of the concrete as soon as he can. So until then here's a photo of him doing whit he does best. Raising hell on transitions!!!
Adam Paris - massive tweaky stale TAE FAKIE @ EK indoor.
In other good news - the bohemmoth that is Stu Graham has had his 3rd wee bairn. Congrats big man!
