Two mates, two skateboards, one mountain = fun

Here's a little cut I spliced together from a run I did with Marcin down part of Bear's Guts & the KNK Freeride earlier this year, put on by Longboard Magazin in Slovenia.

It's a fun track with loads of hairpins, a funny tarmac that grips in a way I've not felt any others before.
To top it of the days were hot & the last runs where you were almost blinded heading into left handers were some of the best, if not just for the view.

Watch in fullscreen & 720p if you can:


Look forward to going back to Slovenia, freeride or not, the people are great & so are the mountains, just don't go off any corners eh ;)

Jamie's Puck

 french Butter !!

Never thought i would love those pucks so much!
Very smooth and fast when sliding.
Good for Dh and quick tech slide.

Not like other pucks, they will not stick to the pavement they will slide like butter.
have been testing them for few months now and i have not started to wear them down.

Jamie is not only Newton's Shred Team rider (hard wheels division)he has a lot of great invention under his red beard.

Isaac say : like your locals.

September Events, UK Style

There's a couple of events this September in the UK that you should check out,
we're sorry about not re-posting much about the Bristol Board Meeting, doh!
It was a blast though, pushed best part of 14 miles on my Erwin with some Gumballs then hit Shiner Hill with some Powerballs, aka 78a Classic Freerides.

1st up is some Downhill fun in Wales, being run by Turn360
Check out the facebook page here for more details, it's been described as Bo Peep but with more corners!


2nd is another Distance skate in aid of good cause, the Isle Of Wight Skate 2.
This is being run by the XSS crew
This 2 day event includes camping & skating around the Isle in aid of the Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance which need donations to maintain their services as best as possible.

New Kebbeks added to the line up!

My my,
it was only 2010 when I met John tearing it up at Almabtrieb & just over a year later he's got his own model on Kebbek after finding the Erwin a tad too large for him, he's not the biggest of guys!

We've also added the Niko Desmarais pro model to our catalogue also, hailing from the same mould as the Barnet, it sports minor inflection on the tail where the Barnet's kicks usually start.
Kami describes this as a Nemesis & an Elise cross breed, can't say he's half wrong!
Niko recently took 5th place at the Winsport Canada Cup, which was viewed by thousands of people worldwide thanks to an online broadcast.
