As we have just touched on the topic of Leeside, it would be rude not to post this little clip that featured on the Crailtap site... Rick McCrank gives us a run down of his top five obstacles at the magnificent DIY park in Vancouver. Filmed and edited by our man Alex Craig.

LEESIDE VANCOUVER

2012-01-25T10:59:00.003Z

Absolute Halloween madness from the legendary DIY spot Leeside in Vancouver! Had the pleasure of visiting this spot a while back and to give anything a good schralp here yer a gnarler but that means nothing to the likes of H-Bomb casually tucking knee, deep in the skate cave in 2010.

5 reasons you still haven’t visited Scotland:

My all time debt to my credit card supplier

I have to feet the cats

I've heard all about shitty spots

I don’t own a kilt

Laziness (that might be the number one reason)

5 stereotypes of Danish folk:

Roligans - "rolig" means calm. So a roligan is like a fat, calm Danish man going to a football match just to eat hotdogs and drink draft beers.

Guys who used to skate but don't skate anymore and they still act like a skater, "Yeah I used to do that back in ‘93 too".

DJ's playing at the "Meatpacking District" with an iPhone

"Artists" waiting their whole life for a breakthrough

Guys with 5-panels

5 explanations to why you dig Paul Shier so much:

Best Tre-Flip!

His part in Static 2 might be the one part that I have watched the most times. The music is great, the spots are great, the tricks are great plus Colin has a couple of dope tricks in it too.

Paul brought me copy of the Blueprint video "Make Friends with the Colour Blue" at CPH PRO he knows I'm a fan.

I heard a lot of guys saying that Paul shouldn't be pro because he's not that good, he has his own style, doing his own tricks and he’s doing it all pretty well.

His happy attitude is worth a lot too.

5 tricks to warm up the session:

I like to start out with all the 180s

Front Shove

SS Pop Shove

No-Comply

Switch Ollie

5 ways to blag a free beer at the CPH PRO:

I can't remember how I got half of the beers I was drinking

My boss gave me a couple of beer tickets

Help carrying beers from the container to the bar

Run faster, jump higher when there's give-away beers

Go steal at the gas-station (I didn't do that but I guess you could)

"As a wee winter warmer thanks to the chaps at Korduroy.tv we will be giving you the chance to enjoy two top notch surf films by Cyrus Sutton for FREE!

We will be showing 'Under the Sun'; a 16mm documentary film shot in Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, Australia, exploring the roots of surfing commercialism and featuring never-before-seen 70’s footage. Starring: Dave Rastovich, Nat Young, Beau Young, Rabbit Bartholomew, Dean Morrison

Followed by 'Stoked & Broke'; A Staycation Surfari Epic on Zero Dollars. Making their own boards, bamboo rickshaws, solar cookers, and hobo stoves, surfers Ryan Burch and Cyrus Sutton set off on a thirty mile, eight day walk through San Diego, CA.

We will also have a small amount of goodies to raffle off on the night thanks to our friends at Narosa Surf School and Kaplank Kapow. All proceeds made will go towards Surfers Against Sewage.

So come along for an informal, chilled out night, enjoy some surf films and some free nips of whisky (while stocks last).

Doors 7:30pm - Films Starting around 8:00pm

Beers will be on sale for £2"

I still haven't seen it, but judging by the trailer I think it will be one for the collection. You can purchase a copy for only £5.00 over at focuspocus.co.uk. It features A'deen's Keith Allan, the legend that is Teabag, Colin Adam, and many more Scottish skate rats. Support the scene.

SKATEBOARDING VS ARCHITECTURE

2011-11-17T19:49:00.002Z

Skateboarding generally presents a major dilemma with city councillors throughout the world. Here in Aberdeen we know all too well of how they react to skateboarding as an activity within the built environment. Taking Broad Street as an example, we have seen incongruous anti-skate devices being installed at this once well known skate spot, putting an end to skateboarding in this so called public space... "You have a skatepark now, why don't you go there?" A typical reaction of someone that is antagonistic towards us 'urban nomads'.

The same case is apparent in this extremely interesting documentary entitled 'Skateboarding VS Architecture: A Study of Public Space and Materiality in Auckland City'. I strongly recommend you sit back with a brew and give this a watch, it clearly gives an insight to how skateboarding is progressing in terms of incorporating itself with architecture for the good and the bad.

Format Perspective is now available to buy, order yours today! You can either buy the DVD on its own or buy it as a package which includes a 128 page hard-cover book about the documentary, showcasing the work of the photographers and background information about the project...

2011-10-17T10:55:00.009+01:00

SHAPE is back... 12th of November - 20:00 - @ The Beach Boarderline

The Idea and Only Rule:

Sculpt a skateboard deck into any shape or form with one regulation, the eight truck bolt holes need to exist.

Tips:

Select an old board, draw a shape, use a jigsaw to cut, sand it down, paint it, varnish it or go your on way. The creativity is down to you.

Entry is free and open to anyone who would like to get involved, just get in touch with us as soon as you can so we know how many entries there will be, with a deadline for handing in your creations on the 11th of November.

To get a better idea of what it's all about you should check out last years event here and here. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us at kaplankkapow@gmail.com

BLOC BLOG TABLE

2011-10-14T21:26:00.005+01:00

Now this is a table!

Designed by Compeixalaigua the Bloc-Blog is a table with a notebook tabletop; each paper sheet can be used as a disposable tablecloth, a drawing space, a writing inspiration or simply as a reminder note. After that anyone can decide of this piece’s future: you can take it with you -simply pull it out- or just leave it there, turn the page and it’s ready for the next customer, while your imprint will be there, your drawings, your coffee marks, your wraps… This way, the final piece would be just like a social diary, an offline BLOG.

So sick!

TOM KNOX

Blueprint Skateboards and Emerica footwear introduce Tom Knox to their teams... Born and bred in London you can tell he is at one with the rough streets that this island has to offer, between having quick feet and a creative imagination his line variations are ridiculous! I'm hella down for this guy, fakie ollies like that are a rarity.
