Updates

Will put a massive update together when I've stopped filming for 5mins.

...and Hirst summed it up.

On a hype-ting.

By 11.30 today, my University days will be over. 3 years has gone fucking quick.

Let the filming begin...

OXFORD IS FUCKING RAD

Cant wait to move to Oxford, makes it easier to get home from the post skate beers....

Haven't posted in ages and have nothing interesting to say really.

First of all i would like to wish a speedy recovery to Liam, a rollerblader from Abingdon (sound old boy) who recently fractured his spine whilst dancing on wheels. All the best mate, here's a snap nicked from his facebook showing the damage.

Secondly get your arse down the ramps as soon as you can. The resurface was completed over a week ago now and we put a fresh layer of paint on them last night. The spine ramp is fucking beautiful and fast as fuck, join us for a late night thursday skate followed by beers and chilling at the pub after. The perfect start to the end of the week.

And lastly I've started noticing more and more random graf in east oxford which I'm stoked on. Not huge sprayed pieces, but little pen slogans which make me smile. Heres a couple I was stoked on.

Nothing else to report at this stage.

Keep on doing what ya doing

Peace and Love

Jono

Stumbled across this gem...

Digging deep

Its been fucking ages since I last posted anything up on here.

Pure laziness on my part, fucking lame.

Anyway, I thought id see what I could add, so had a look through all my old photos and stuff on my computer, before realising Ive got a new computer, so therefore theres nothing to search through!

This was all I could find...

BBQ down zoo-ology summer 04 (I know this because I bought that hat at the tony hawk demo in June.....)

6 years ago, jesus christ, where has the time gone?

Peace and Love

Squeaky

Guten tag!

Im very slack at computoring, and even slacker at skating so here is a little fing I did recently with a mate from Bulgaria.





For those that don't know Mayday is a very special day in Oxford.

You get up early, go to Magdelen Bridge, and listen to the beautiful music at sunrise.



Or in our case start drinking at 9pm friday and don't stop till sunday 1am.

Each year it just gets better! (or worse depending on which way you look at it!)

Skateboarding soon! Cubs honour!

Close shave

So VX number 1 (or 2 is it) currently filming for this video nearly died a death at the weekend. What you don't see is the camera sliding about 20ft along the floor after hitting the ground. Luckily, and thanks to Trench taking the worst of the slam, it got away with only a couple of scuffs. Thank fuck!



And so filming continues!

Greg 'Baguette' found this.

Ill.

Cherry popping time

So Neddy added me as a new contributor to his blog... Pretty big thing. I feel kinda honoured. I never blogged before. I never thought that there will be people interested in what I have to say. Well, to be honest, I don't think Neddy really cares about what I say. He just laugh at my french accent regardless of the content of my sentences. So what is this all about? Is there some option somewhere in the blog editing tools where you can switch the french accent on/off? Damn, that would be pretty good. Maybe I'm onto something here. Neddy, if you make money out of that, I want my share.

Anyways, I guess the reason I've been added to the blog contributor is because I come along to some of them weekend skate trip and take pictures of the didcot/oxford crew. So maybe it's time for me to post some of them.

Alright, let's get on it. But before I start putting pictures of our sunday mission, let's put things into context. I started the day drunk. I woke at 9 and was still drunk off my face. So what do you do in this kind of situation? Damn right you go back to bed and hope that the next time you wake up your buzz would have worn off. Second try at waking up around 11... still a bit drunk...

Daaaaaaamn, you know it's gonna be a hard do when your hangover hasn't even started yet!

So here I am, after having some sort of greasy breakfast, I find myself in Alex's car along with Luke and Euan, struggling to keep my eggs and sausages in my stomach. I don't even know why I agreed to get on that skate mission. The last thing I want to do is go out in the cold and try to skate. So here you go, I didn't wanted to be there and even less wanted to skate. So I won't put any skate pictures up for you today.

Instead, I'm talk about the other things that went on while some people were skating.

Here's a good one. We went to the Iffley's mini ramp thing. It just got revamp (but you should already know that if you're a keen follower of Neddy's blog). It's all nice and shiny. Pretty much every skater's dream. So what people do there? I tell you what they do, they ride a shitty flat bit next to it that was made out of the revamp leftovers. Fucking retards. I've ashamed to say that most of our crew had a go at it... Lame...

Because it was pretty crowded we left after 5 min and went to what is in my humble opinion, a shit skatepark, cowley. I still felt like shit, I still didn't wanted to skate and it was pretty crowded too. So this is what happen instead.

Big up to Seymour for that little circus trick. It did brighten up my day.

Then we had broad doing a re-make of the classic "eat my shrimp"... Although he fucked up, 25p tortillas crisps from tesco ain't the real deal. But still, funny man.

I don't really know why but some people were actually having a good time skating there, as proven by Jono's happy face.

We then carried on to Abingdon skatepark. Much better. Plus my hangover was slowly wearing off and I did skate a bit. Sweeeeeet.

Seymour also saved the day by bringing his oldskool ghettoblaster down. Yeah tunes!

Broad, if you read this, you have good moves bru. You're like the patrick swayze of Oxford. Dirty dancing's got nothing on you.

Alright, Neddy probably won't be too happy if I don't put at least on skate picture. Hey, don't be fooled tho, I'm not giving up like that. You're gonna get your skate picts but it ain't from nobody from our crew. Here's a little smith grind by our stranger of the week.

I'm such a cool guy, thanks to me that kid has his picture on this world famous blog. Shit, he might even get hooked up thanks to me. This blog is like the berrics, but for Oxford.

Ok, I guess it's time for me to stop. That was a pretty long post, especially considering it was my first one. I am now part of the blogging generation. Does that make me super cool? Am I gonna get loads of horny female fans knocking at my door? You'll find out in my next post if Neddy doesn't delete my account by then.

Ayoba mother fuckers

Who knew science could be so radical

How's it hangering

May day hit everyone extremely hard. With Seymour working till 8 am. Squeaky partying till the early hours an plenty of others at least trying to do the same. Nothing much happened in my skating world till the Monday when we got the Nedy phone callswclaring a street skate. We made it to purple banks where after getting all setup for a spot of filming this tool pulle up in his Audi and blocked the bank.







If you see him feel free to let his tires down

We got in contact with trench as the rain started and headed down to Newbury after we skated the most awful metal park for half an hour we noticed these local representatives teaching their dog to never let go.







Handy for when it chews the face off a child.

The end of the day was rounded up with a trip to the hangar.

Where tricks a plenty were had over the homemade kicker. Won't tell you why they are as they may be in the vid. That and I wa pretty tired from driving all night the pics are blurry an I can't remember.




















Them we got the boot hopefully not a sign of things to come. New plan of attack for next time. Park up by the businesses and walk in.

The ramps are looking noice

If I was a tramp I'd want it to be at this ramp.










It was supposed to just be a resurface job. But the guys pretty much ended up rebuilding most of the structure of the spine. I think mon owes them a few beers for tellig porkies.

Joe has been down there a ton and working hard along with jameson who has kindly comandeered his next door neighbours garage to store some tools in.

Loads of others have dropped by when they could beire or after work. Including Leddy, broad , squeaky and so many many more.

The ramp should be ready to ride by the weekend but don't do so until you get the all clear from Amanda. She decides and you listen. Right.

Weakend.

Came home this weekend, weather / hangovers meant minimal footage logged.

Most of the homies were out Friday night, Jono and Doddy kept the party going till the early hours, even taking it into HSBC to meet Broad at work at 9am.

We met this dude. Gnarly stories to do with this tat!



Sproul got some herbal healing on the go Saturday night.



Alex got Gino at the hanger.



All my Uni assignments are now done, one exam to go, then mad filming for the untitled Broad St. video. All I know is the footage count is going up!
