Fiasco Skateboarding.com – Live from the South Coast

A bit of skateboarding, old friends, drinking all day, drinking every day, sun bathing, clubs, electro gigs, the 24 hour blackout, beach parties, 2 hour walks at 3am on my own just so I could sleep in my car, running out of clothes, borrowing clothes, using the boot of my car as my bedroom, freezing cold showers due to mates with no gas, same boxers & socks for the third day running, Gaviscon, steak club at Spoons, a £2 Tesco meal deal & a banana for breakfast every day, the entire bakery section in the 24 hour for £3, free pool, Albert Road, finding cars with weak/no handbrakes and moving them to inappropriate places, hopefully finding somewhere to sleep every night, sub of the day, Lynx showers, shirtless 14 year olds with bleeding knuckles and “mum” tattooed on their chest, the world cup. Germany are in it to win it now I reckon. These last two weeks of summer have been epic. Here are a few from the skatepark:

This is Louie & Mike who I haven’t seen properly in about 2 odd years, maybe even longer. You may remember Louie ending my Summer 2006 edit! Spent the whole week drinking, eating and sleeping (not in that way) with them pretty much, as well as Tom Kiblawi who I hadn’t seen for a good 2 years either, who also features in a few of the older edits. Cheers for your hospitality boys!

Smither is still a douche bag, but now he can 360 flip.

Spent most of last winter in this pub, but who can blame you when pints are a quid and they do food like this:

Here’s what one of the Pompey top boys has to say about it’s imminent closure, and he aint a happy bunny:

Sunday, the day of rest, consisted of waking up at half two, making a fry up at half three, going to Spoons for beer & a burger and a pub quiz at 7, and sometime in between I managed to capture the last bits of footage that I filmed before moving here. The resulting video only contains Smither not landing tricks and making excuses:

Here’s the trailer to my final major college project entitled “What Makes Us Tick”.

“A documentary about British skateboarding aimed at people who do not skateboard themselves, as to give them an insight into the somewhat alien subject”

Watch in high quality, turn it up and get hyped:

I thought that it would take me 10 minutes to get that online today after work, instead it has taken almost five hours due to QuickTime not doing what it’s supposed to, Squeeze deciding it doesn’t actually like any format of video anymore, and YouTube failing the upload for god knows what reason. So unfortunately I don’t have enough time to post up the other content that I had planned to tonight, and I’ve now got to work first thing tomorrow morning as well, stoked.

Little bit of footage for a change. Featuring Louie, Joe Paget and Dobbo.

Here’s an edit of all the random shit that I’ve filmed during the best part of 2006.
