This is such a simple premise, but an amazing video!
Man I wish it was acceptable for adults to play war in the street.....................................without actually joining the army.

Two short films from Vimeo!
I've just watched this short film.
It's really well made and I like the surreal kind of feel it's got, I really got drawn in to this little short, it's actually builds up quite a lot of tension towards the end. Very well done to the filmakers!
The next short is one I keep coming back to over and over. I really enjoy this short, the whole piece fits together extremely well and I especially love the music. check out the making of video on Vimeo too, I couldn't believe the amount of work that went into this short film, it paid off though. I'd love to be able to produce this level of work one day.......
Amazing stuff!!!! Vimeo is full of awesome short films and music videos. Check out the 'staff picks' from time to time if you're ever bored and online.

Being old and still skateboarding.
Dear Comrades,
I'm normally pretty bad at skateboarding, I film alot now rather than actually skating as it's a good excuse for me not to skate and (hopefully) it benefits some of the younger guys who are pretty bloody good on their boards by showing them to you, the people of the entire world.
Yesterday however, powered with a half day from work and a mild wine based hangover I managed to have a decent roll around and even did some tricks I haven't tried for a while. A bunch of the Freestyle Team Riders and friends/associates hit up the future wastelands of the post apocalypse in our time machine. Kill City roider Jake Collins borrowed my camera and shot some nice photos and got some good lines down on film to boot. Jake has just been promoted onto the full Kill City UK Team! Congratulations Jake!!!! Also hot news is that Tom Bailey beat Nikki Chappell in an epic game of skate at the wastelands. Bailey is now the wastelands champ, until someone stabs him................or beats his krooked ass in a game of skate.
I still didn't manage to put many tricks down myself, but had fun trying and took a few nice slams. I think the self-harming aspect of being a skateboarding is keeping me going at the moment, it might seem perverse, but I like to fall off and as Neil Blender put it, a slam is itself a trick and should be praised as such, thanks Neil. I enjoy a good slam as long as I don't get any serious injuries in the process! Check out some of Jakes snaps below. The video footage is going into my huge Freestyle video vault, so you can all wait for the finished video to see the gnar in realtime!!!!!
I love this spot!!!! and you aren't allowed to skate it. Unless you make friends with Kyle, which won't happen because Kyle is too cool to need any more friends.
