• Graeme

    Will Robson-Scott brings us this inspirational short film about Graeme, a passionate skateboarder who has been a staple of the London skate community for 25 years.

    A regular fixture at every skating event, his eccentricities and enthusiasm for the sport are accentuated through his condition, Asperger’s syndrome.

    Everyone has something in their life that puts a smile on their face; for Graeme this is skating.

     

  • Penny founder Ben Mackay

    Probably my favourite video this month is this great feature on Ben Mackay the founder of Penny Skateboards.

    Penny has smashed the cruiser market since their UK launch last year.

    Appealing to skaters of all ages the little plastic set-ups have been flying off the shelves in a multitude of colours.

    This short film gives a great insight into Ben and clearly shows his pure passion for skateboarding.

    It's a fascinating and heart-warming watch and definitely worth five minutes of your day.

  • Danny Way "Waiting For Lightning" UK Premiere

    On Tuesday evening the good people at DC invited us to the UK premiere of the eagerly awaited feature length Danny Way documentary "Waiting For Lightning".

    The event kicked off in style with a VIP drinks reception at The Penthouse, Leicester Square. An open bar, sushi and spectacular views over London were soaked up by the guests then it was a quick stroll round the corner for the movie itself.

    The skaters usual home of the Prince Charles Cinema was of course the only venue for this kind of event and as usual was a rowdy who's-who of UK skateboarding.

    After a quick introduction from both Danny (downstairs) and the movie's writer Bret Johnston (upstairs) everyone was super hyped.

    The movie is both emotional and breath-taking showing what a true legend Danny Way has become and his extraordinary achievements on and off a skateboard. This guy is up there with the likes of Travis Pastrana and Matt Hoffman as a modern day Evel Knievel, seeming intent on pushing the boundaries of what is possible on four small wheels.

    Despite the jet lag Danny was in fine form and willing to chat to everyone who passed by him in the cinema lobby - even donning a "CRVWKD" tee for photos!

    Then it was all off to Madame JoJo's for the after-party courtesy of Monster.
