SYB x FOCUS Competition

So here's a little eye brow raiser for all the SYB followers out there... we have teamed up with the hella decent fellows over at Focus Skate shop to provide all the demons out there with a chance to win one of the new Focus 'Surface Pressure' boards, with 2 runners up winning a Focus tshirt.

Focus Surface Pressure Series

Head honcho, Sibs gave us a little insight into the new Surface Pressure Series...
"We've just released this series of 3 decks by long time shop collaborator Tommy Perman aka Surface Pressure. In his trademark style he has captured 3 scenes from the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Tommy has been collaborating with Focus since 2004, creating swing tags, t-shirts, prints and most recently boards. He grew up in Edinburgh and has spent the majority of his life living in the centre of cities and influenced by their rich visual clutter and the way they grow and change all the time."


So now in traditional SYB style we aren't making the comp straight forward, but of course rather stupid.


How to enter...
Go on the SYB Facebook page, look for the 'SYB x FOCUS Comp' Status, Like and Share the status then leave your answer as a comment. Or email: shralpyabass@hotmail.com


Now comes the stupid part!
We want you to come up with a fucking ridiculous 'SYB Chimera' (A Chimera is an imaginary creature made up of two different animals like a Griffen, Centuar, Sphinx.. etc). As usual, the more stupid and funny entries will be regarded highly.


If you want to pick up one of these boards the old fashion way and part with some hard earned cash, head on over to www.focuspocus.co.uk the boards are £39.95.

SYB FRIDAY 666 - 8th February

A few of the lads went down to Flo Skatepark in Nottingham last week for an all night shralp with some lads from iron Column and a few other heads from down south.

Random information from the trip was as follows:
- The Leeds pool bowl is still hard tae skate but fucking satisfying to get a grind on.
 - The chilli sauce in the kebabs in Nottingham is fiery as hell.
- Drinking beer and skating is prime.
- Craig Questions is a crazy/funny man.
- Snelling and the lads know how to rip out some wild old school shit.
- Flo bowl is hella fun to shred.
- Iron Column lads are sound.
- Dunder can sleep in a car boot.
- Hull is is fucking shite.

Here's a few photos from the shred…

SYB FRDIAY 666 - Friday 18th Jan

Over the Vert Brick Wall
After a little bit of skate rumours and a phone call later BFF Paris claimed there was a call-out for some gnar from Ronso, a BS nosegrind on the Vert Brick Wall at Radworxs.

It's tight and pretty difficult tae skate. But as we all know he's a mongo off the board but on it he can cause a bit of carnage. So Paris came through for his BFF Ronso with a call-out trick nailed and some additional gnar. Getting that twinkle back in those eyes....

SYB FRIDAY 666 - Friday 11th Jan

Had an impromtu sesh at the Radworx indoor skatepark with Ross Hickey (DMC, SYB, GSS, Part-time Toker) and Murray (DMC, SYB, YMCA) on Sunday there. Paris and Shady were 'working' tae so there was a decent crew tae fire up a wee sesh.

Hickey spewed after making a trick, Murray started throwing down YMCA poses while skating, Shady sweated a shit load, SYB got mockit and Paris fucking smashed it. All in all a worth while jaunt. Part 2 with Paris will drop at the weekend fuckers.
