I have been so ridiculously pre occupied with making sure the park is safe until we get a new one and setting up the new website I am completely social network starved.

This video is an apology, it's rad!

CARNAGE AT THE COT EDIT BY OLLIE ROSS!

Big thanks to Ollie, good tunes and unflattering chin angles hahahahahahahaahahahaaaa!

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

CARNAGE AT THE COT WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS.

The standard of skate boarding was amazing, and the turn out was even better. Everyone was there with a massive smile on their faces and they weren't afraid to take a few slams, some more than others haha!

A massive thanks to DC shoes for supporting the comp, and as always a massive thanks to SHINER LTD for their never ending support.
my dc

Everyone on this list has earned themselves a pair of core DC Skate shoes.


Under 16's
Tyler Deakin
Kyle Freeman
Conor Radcliffe (spelling?)

Over 16's:
Baz Barwick
Tom Kyte
Kieran Deakin
Spraggy

This guy was slamming hard and getting up every time and realy going for it, nothing but respect.
Best bail:
John Williams

And my favorite section was for the MOTY award, and it was another tough decision, but the trick that won it was the rail balance beam to acid drop, hope that makes it to the edit, it was rad.
Biggest MOSHER:
Tom Kyte

Mosher

Also special mention props to WELSHCAKES OWN CHIMPO for sacrificing his front tooth to the mosher gods. I would like to say I didn't find this unny but I think he took it in good spirits, good egg our Chimpo.

Chav Dan repping Witchcraft Skateboards & FSTL....in a Christian mag!

Dan isn't particularly evil but for him to be featured in a Christian mag is pretty funny! It's a really old pic too, I wonder if Dan got asked if it was OK? I bet he didn't! Dan is also featured in an exhibition in Cardiff about alternative culture. It's very good, also feature are FSTL friends God Machine, Phil from City Surf, Pete Fowler plus much more! Only open for a couple more days I hear!

Exist Skatepark in Swansea is open!!!!!!!!!


Dear shredders,

Team Creative Director Lt Meat here. As Grim has been hard at work in the shop I've hijacked the blog to tell you all some awesome news about the new Exist Skatepark in Swansea. I'm pleased to say that the Exist Skatepark in Swansea is now fully open!!!!! and it's indoors too!!!!!!!! That's the news. Rick and the team have been slugging their guts out to get the park finished and they've done a cracking job too! 

Me, Beanhead (9" girth Creature from the brown lagoon) and that krooked mofo Tom Bailey headed up for a 20 min skate in the new park, sheltered away from the perpetual Swansea drizzle and sporadic car crime (we didn't realise the park was shutting at 5pm yesterday and got there at 4:40pm.................jerks). Still, we had a nice drive and I feel we got to know each other slightly better whilst travelling on the road together, I won the boner competition with Bailey coming a close second and Beanhead, coming up in the rear, in third place.

I would advise checking on the Exist Skatepark website if you're heading up to check that the park is open and that there aren't any private sessions on the go, there's also information about membership and pricing too. 

Exist head honcho Rick, the most hardworking dude I've probably ever met, sexy and bald too.

The miniramp area, Beanhead and Bailey threw down some bangers on this during the 20 mins we were there.

The main park area from the top of the large flat bank.

This is what I'm calling the street simulation training hub area zone.
Magic!!! I'm sure I'll see you all there one rainy evening very soon.

Over and out

Lt Meat has done it again, day one of The Bank Holiday Weekend Edit.

Jake smashing Cardiff in the face of wind.

The Vans Shop Riot was fun.

Our team were definitely the best looking and always deliver the fun, we only didn't win because Vans are racist and we are Welsh haha! It was super sick to see Welsh brothers CITY SURF had a team and we missed Exist but they are getting ready for the Exist Park opening Sat.

Our team was Jake Collins, Sam Pulley and new bloods Nicki Chapelle and Owen "SOX" Wheatstone.

JERKS!

ARBEL SAMSONOV, Welcome to the team.

Some kids are more than "just good on a skateboard" Arbel has been one of us since day one and has really in all fairness deserved this for a long time, there was no way I could not put Arbel on the team,

Welcome to the team, I know it's not a mistake.

BROMANCE IS NOT DEAD!

Skateboarding's weird ey? You meet people and if you like skateboarding the common ground leads you into conversation and then you can form either a friendship or a polite brush off, I have found that I am alot pickier the older I get. This was not the case with my new homeeys, Garrett (not actually spelt like Carrot) and Shaboopy Nico.

Both dudes ride for Witchcraft in on form or another, Nico on some flow deal through French and Garrett through Dan at Youwillsoon.blogspot.com and 9 Times Skate Shop in Canada, Now it is no hidden fact I love this guy so I held out high hopes for our Canadian brother, no disappointment there, both dudes are rad. He has invited me on the 9 Times tour next year, I am so starting saving today. I will Make This Happen Soon (See what I did there, man I am soooo clever haha!)

The FSTL crew tore THE NIKE POOL a new ass hole.

Some great skating all round but I must say our FSTL crew really did stand out, a little biased but I feel it is justified. Here are a few reasons why courtesy of TOM "BACON" HALLIDAY.

Check out how rad this looks, I would like to thank Sam from Nike SB/Welcome Skate Shop for hooking this up.

Yes Sam I mean you.

Arbel was smashing it, look out for this guy.

The Pool.

Nike SB put this on, it was far from Wales but well worth it, predictably our boys smashed it. It was so good to see people who I only evr talk to on line or on the phone. Go team FSTL you smash it.

A MASSIVE THANKS TO SAM AT NIKE SB FOR HOOKING THIS UP FOR US

FSTL Bilbao edit, contains male nudity and dodgy stuff.

We are not only blessed with som of the best talent in the UK, we also are lucky enough to have the unsung heroes behind the camera, Lt Meat, Lee Dainton and in this case Alex "Alun" Harris, or as he is now affectionatly known, Alun Cam. I don't know how Al comes up with such amazing edits with such crappy equipment, it just proves you can have all the money in the world but you can't buy talent.

KC representing the FREESTYLE SUICIDAL TEE.

I am proud of how well KC pushes herself, her tracks are ace and I love watching her live set, you can tell how into her shit she is so I am even more proud that she supports the shop because you know she isn't doing it by half. Good luck Kitty, oh yeah and she is in FRONT MAG this month, check her new video.

BIG IN THE GAME HARDWARE!

Here is a little edit from Nicky Howler and his boyfriend (look at the size of those) SNADZ! Due to their boy band not getting off the ground they have decided to make their millions in hardware, as we all know it's all about selling the small things to everyone and not the massive expensive luxuries to the few, thats where the cash is. They might even get it done. This is a great little edit to show you how good you can get just from rocking BITG hardware.

If anyone is worth supporting it's NICKY & SNADZ, when and if they finally get hardware done I am only going to rock BIG IN THE GAME HARDWARE

New Concept Edit By Lt Meat!

Everyone knows how much I think about Lt Meat and how I think him not having an awesome job is a crime.
How is this for a concept, firstly filming an awesome and origional and amusing edit. And then witing the song to match the action in the previousely mentioned edit.

I guarantee you will be singing "SLAMMIN' IN STROUD, SLAMMIN'IN STROUD" over and over again after watching this edit. I know I am, A+ Lt Meat A+
