Winter Sucks

November 30, 2009

Well winter is well and truly here, if today is anything to go by. The sun was out, by it was so ridiculously cold that even looking outside gave me a chill. Determined to make the most of a day off, I tried to get out for a skate this afternoon. As hard as I

Burton Upon Trent skatepark

November 19, 2009

Warning: The following blog entry is heavily related to my series of boring editorials about skateparks in Coventry and why they aren’t good enough and why the council should be looking at other areas of the UK for inspiration when it comes to designing parks.

Faceplant Skateboards presents “666″

October 8, 2009

Here’s an interesting concept… a skateboard video which is 7 minutes and 6 seconds long… or 666 seconds long if you’ve not figured out the link between the name of Swampy’s new skate video and the length of the video.

So I know I seem to be completely hogging the Covert site at the minute, but in all honesty it’s been a busy weekend for getting stuff done, finding stuff out and planning for future movements. Yesterday Alex Taylor told me to go onto youtube and search for “Russell Bristow” (a Cov local who kills
