Stick 'em up!

This arrived yesterday in the post, eBay purchase, you never know I might actually stick this on something. (but then again...)

Strokers

Boom, the return of the blog!

Been a while.

Here's some things that happened. Back in August Trev bought along a little rocker deck set up with bottle green Kryptonics and Stroker trucks. 

Made by Ermico they were a predecessor of Indy trucks.
Crazy things that turn by the way of pivots and rose joints. Steer more like a car than a skateboard. 

On the tiny rocker deck with its short wheelbase it almost turned in its own length.

Locals Only

Just over 4 years ago I was strolling through the North Laine area of Brighton battling my way through the hipsters and I came across a display of skateboard photos from the 70's.
They were by a photographer who's name I didn't recognise, Hugh Holland.

I saw recently on another blog that a book of his work had been published, totally awesome stuff, I treated my self to this book for my birthday with some money my parents gave me.

It's a big book, 16" x 12", there's an interview with Hugh about how he stumbled upon skateboarding in 75 in California and devoted 3 three years to photographing it. Apart form that it's big glossy photos all the way.
