SKULL TITS

2011-10-30T05:26:00.000-07:00

Twins with Earth Pain on their boobies - everyday shit down at Stockwell.

Our biggest fans.

We made loads of pumpkins about 2 weeks before Halloween and now they're rotting in our garden. I carved this cyclops one.

It was the Toxic Wasters exhibition/launch at the Crossfire halloween jam.

We all dressed up.

Dwayne was some kind of intellectual Black nationalist traveller or something.

Josh was Ed Templetons orange monster thingy.

I was toxic slime.

George just wanted an excuse to do curtains.

A section of Def Valley.

Everyone wanted their prom-style Halloween portrait in front of our green blind.

Skull boobs.

Fuck knows what Kyle was supposed to be. It was cool though. lol

Josh won I think.

Kyle's ponytail made his costume even creepier.

The Slime gets mad love.

Mark was a dead guy with a flamingo.

Rob Smith was Lil Wayne. Mad effort.

The stickers looked rad. Buy yours here

We all got really wasted. I lost my favourite coach jacket! Sen-par.

Mr Bromley slit Josh's throat.

These guys were well funny.

Ren Bowles was 'avin it!

Crossfire halloween massacre was sick!

Here's a portrait of Will outside the Frieze snowboard festival that we went to.

My whip. Sen-whip.

Did I mention that I'm on Twitter now? FOLLOW ME

Pumpky

2011-10-11T17:46:00.000-07:00

So pumpkins are in shops at the moment.

Check out this cyclops one I carved.

Everyone in my house has gone pumpkin crazy. These will probably all die before actual Halloween so we'll have to carve some more.

I have Twitter now, so follow me!

The Well

2011-10-02T12:52:00.000-07:00

Dudes down at the well...

This is a screengrab teaser for the next Earth Pain video - Oh shit.

I shot this urban-ass photo of Kyle skating about in a body warmer.

SB is still there yo.

Checkley staring into the sun.

Checkley's Smedley board.

We went to Peckham bowl for Basi's bday.

Sens new prints.

The LCC zine fair.

Ben's the UAL SU President. Pretty cool huh.

Questions.

Questions probably did something outrageous and made Checkley burst out.

Ray Charles.

Rob Smith on drums.

New punk superband - Dave Crabb.

This guy got fucked up. I can't explain any more than that.

VICE.COM

2011-09-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

So Vice has finally got its act together and changed its website to www.vice.com

Last night was the launch party and I got VERY drunk so there's not many photos.

Cheers for the free beers.

Jonnie didn't know that he'd been sticker slapped. Lol.

When he found out he wasn't too happy.

George was record-breakingly-drunk. It was a free bar so everyone was going HAM.

Giggs was the secret guest - nice raps dude.

Everyone was stoked to see Peckhams finest in the building. Especially Lucien.

George subverted the whole night by ironically drinking a gin n tonic (white middle class drink) whilst watching Giggs.

Tom Vek played and it was rad, there was almost a mosh pit which was funny to see.

You have got to take advantage of these kind of events.

2011-09-06T06:39:00.000-07:00

We went to Stockholm to gate photos for Jonnie's upcoming book.

We also filmed this edit.

Tom had an iPad for the trip.

It was me, Casper, Tom and Jonnie.

Tom's arms are different lengths from when he broke his wrist.

The skatepark under the bridge is amazing.

The world is mine pose.

Jumping off cliffs was real scary but Tom didn't seem to mind.

Jonnie left his board on the bus and didn't realise until we were several stops away on the underground, so he went back to the bus stop and by some pure miracle it was there.

This is where we stayed, cheers Andrew.

The bold family.

We skated this little TF style skatepark.

Casper is totally addicted to the ice cream sandwiches.

Tom had us all stretching every night.

Tom was stoked on these bowls 'cus they were in some snowboarding video. haha

This DIY skatepark seems like a health and safety nightmare.

Oh shit! This little guy was there...

Jonnie wanted to use a blow-up bed as a boat.

Beer salute.

Casper pissed himself to force himself to jump in. Crazy logic but logic to Casper.

We made a fire on the mountain side and shotgunned beers.

Euro guy at the airport.

Thanks Jonnie for hooking this up!

Cheers to all the websites who've shown the edit some love:

Sidewalk - Grey - Crossfire - Science

STOCKHOLM

2011-09-04T07:00:00.001-07:00

I got back from Stockholm the other day, here is the footage from the trip.

Wahaca

2011-08-26T05:53:00.000-07:00

I designed this mug for British skateboarding website Writers Tailblock and it's just came out.

Go buy one! By clicking this link.

I love coffee so doing a mug graphic has stoked me out.

Cheers all at WTB.

(I'll post some better photos of it when I get some - but I'm away in Sweden for a week; so hold tight)

----------------------------------------

George spends most skate sessions fiddling with his board.

Trucks, bushings, bolts, wheels, de-lams - you name it, he has a problem.

Jake and Dan at Mudchute.

Post mudchute DLR ride.

Stockwell with George and Jonnie.

There were loads of these little maggots coming down from a tree on some string.

Trombone and Basi in White Heat.

We're filming for the next Earth Pain video.

It was Tom's birthday so we went for a meal at Wahaca.

Mark and Kyle's weird Mexican drink.

Kyle and Kyle's weird Mexican drink.

Happy birthday. Cometh the day, cometh the man.

NEW AND IMPROVED

2011-08-21T11:57:00.000-07:00

Toby's Dog

2011-08-21T03:26:00.000-07:00

We went to the Vans Downtown Showdown in Spitalfields.

We got there at about 2 and Josh Cox was already drinking hella beers and showing everyone a photo of a spot he's found.

Sidewalk had a shop and Rob's cover on display for the world to see.

He's a millionaire now!

I got Tida in to do some promo shots for my board graphic.

Jeremy got a Spitfire tattoo.

There were loads of people.

George was hating on the euro-guys doing yo flips.

Toby + 1!

Bromley was filming stuff for Crossfire like a boss.

Knox hoping that he'll get photo incentive from my blog.

Jerome had loads of free beer money; the millionaire, the mansion, the yacht.

At about 7 Dwayne came and met up with us. (We'd been drinking for 5 hours at this point).

Then we all chilled outside the after party waiting for it to open, everyone was super confused about what kind of wristbands you need but in the end we got it and partied.

Powley!

George tries to express emotion.

Chris and Marc.

At this point I was too drunk to carry on taking photos.

We left the after party at 1 and went to a house party in Peckham.

Peace

New Camera/ Rebirth

2011-08-20T04:08:00.000-07:00

I've got a new camera, a panasonic lumix fs35. So I'm hyped on taking photos of everything.

This blog might be seeing some fresh action from now on. Also filming has begun for Earth Pain 7.

Kyle hard at work in the command station.

New rig. It's the Joe Castro board from the latest Science series.

Will's in London for his bertday.

We had a Friday evening beer and Peckham session.

Kyle got worked on the worst flatground ever.

I asked Basi to do a pose in front of this painting and this is what he did.

Lurker,,,

Skating through Peckham is dangerous 'cus of the amount of weave that floats around on the floor. Kyle caught a load of it in his wheels. Bad vibes.

We drank carpark beers then went to Franks Bar.

George as Certain-Man. (Will got given that hat by Tony Alva).

We skated the carpark hill for a good half an hour.

Amazing.

The challenge was to bomb the hill, carve up onto this bit and then ollie over the wall into the road. Will ate shit like a trooper.

Another funny hat.

KFC boomboom.

George has the smallest shittest wheels and is scared to remove his bearings but here he is confronting that fear head on. Remove them bastards.

Lesta

2011-08-16T02:47:00.000-07:00

I'm in Leicester at the moment filming for the next Get Lesta video.

Callun blogs most the missions, so check it out.

Furio

2011-08-02T02:30:00.000-07:00

My external show was a great success. OVO

My work in the show.

We were sponsored by this new Jim Beam bourbon with a hint of cherry called Red Stag.

I was in charge of the shot machine on the night, big mistake!

Some of the business cards I collected from the show season.

Joe Prince at the Brighton Show.

Beall came down to get some footage for the Science promo that's dropping soon.

Cruickshank filmed a hammer then did some kick-ups. Fair play.

Ridiculous window display as seen on Walworth Road.

Kyles new whip! Retro bro.

Somehow. It was cool but I'm not going to do it all the time.

Nandos.

We all got dressed up nice for graduation.

Fillet steak and foir gras. Cheers dad.

Suits and ties all day.

Cheers Powley!

Street skating in Canary Wharf is higly illegal but worth it. Just skating around feels like a skit from Static.

The bridge decided to open when we wanted to cross, to let a pirate ship through.

Dwayne hammers section coming up...

Some guy pushed a shit load of products off the back of a lorry outside Tesco.

George as Furio.

The Graduate

My digi-cam broke but I got a blackberry (ka-ching) so here are some photos I took on it.

Two of my best friends at my favourite skatepark in the world on a sunny day!

No homo

George in space...

Kyle made a aluminium skateboard for the final show, it weighs loads and he laser cut the griptape.

My trusty mug.

Kyler Durden setting up for the show.

Callum McCleans work for the show, he is next to me so it's a pretty strong looking corner!

My stuff

This diorama by Karin Soderquist is rad. Look at the sausage dogs on her website and imagine them as a rad skateboard graphic, that's what I've been doing anyway.

This photo is from Dwayne's show (The Westminster Degree show).

Some guy painted the front covers from magazines (black culture etc) It was mental!

George getting his photo in front of the Dwayne paining about him.

Metal vagina was there...

Bollard in a snapback.

Ben and Luka gettin' they city on...

Jake can skate anything. Check out his bs air! HAVE IT

Will has gone back to Leicester now which fucking sucks.

Josh has been filming his new part for fucking ages, hopefully it'll come out soon!

I made this Witchcraft advert.

Free beer never gets old.

George in front of his work at Wimbledon. Props bro-ski.

Tom now works as a gardener, so any free time he has is put to good use.

Tom Howse is the best.

Lol

We still play 'shithead' - Things dunt change.

Ben's work in the Chelsea show was rad. Go Chelsea and check everything out.

Photography at Camberwell...

Me and My Dad went and ate ribs.

If I'm not skating the spot I'll go out of my way so my mates can land there tricks, so we can get the fuck out of there ASAP and I can skate something good.

Tom's prints.

Modern art? In the McDonalds toilets.

The best pun...

Kyle takes invigilating to the next level.

After the Camberwell private view the streets were full of thousands of people and everyone got very drunk. Local off-licenses must have made a killing.

The elixir of life.

Check this!

Camberwell Summer Show

2011-06-22T04:03:00.001-07:00

The Camberwell degree show opened last night and it was rad!

Check this out...

Last year whilst in Sweden with Jake Harris, Tom Knox and Jonnie Craig, we were sitting at a skate comp at the brilliant Sibbarp in Malmo. Me and Tom decided that we weren't going to skate the comp because it was full of total park shredders.

Guess what they did to me... Bastards!

Listen to the guys commentary, what a psycho.

Good times all round! I'd do it again!

Matt Clark Basketball Superstar

2011-04-25T13:58:00.000-07:00

Callun has been driving me to some amazing spots recently, the weather has been amazing.

I've hardly taken any photos...sos

Eric loves skating stairs, it's a bit weird if you ask me.

His new footage is going to shock a lot of haters.

Clark came out dressed as Joey Essex

Shaz was 18 and Clark paid for a stripper to get naked for him, nice work Clark.

We went to Hull, Regan showed us around and we skated some sick spots.

I took no photos of the spots and loads of photos of Matt playing basketball.

There was loads of cool paintings of fish an shit.

Matt Clark basketball superstar.

Nurishment looks pretty fucked up, I've never tried it but I might soon.

Ben won the SU election. So we popped bottles.

Checkley really suits fisheye shots.

Get The Pain

2011-03-21T09:58:00.001-07:00

The Get Lesta dvd is finally out to buy.
It features rad skateboarding from the Earth Pain crew.

Also keep an eye out for the hand-drawn type by me.
The DVD case kills it - nice work Callun.

Brentside

2011-03-15T17:25:00.003-07:00

We went to Brentside today and filmed a little edit.
There are still puddles, we tried to dry 'em up with newspapers but didn't have much luck. As soon as it's fully dry we'll have some jersey barrier action - hold tight.

Brass Monkey

2011-03-07T15:25:00.000-08:00

We got vital supplies for our Science filming trip to Sheffield.
Coffee and beersticks (which were absolutely disgusting).

Shaun at the House with their massive Matix t-shirt.

Pre-Brass Monkey premiere with Richie Mann and Beall.

Regan and his fucked up fruity beer.

The prem was at some sort of old man pub called The Lescar, it got totally packed and frenzied.

The last photo of Richie before he dissapeared into the night.

Science Chris had a rad floor to sleep on at Ash's crib.

Post premiere and everyone was hyped and drunk.

Joe and Callun.

Jerome Fucking Campbell.

Kendrick and his blessed boombox (RIP).

Chris/ Kendrick.

Everyone started to wild out and the boombox got smashed up.

Kendrick came back from the bar and was really pissed off.

Damn son!

We went back to Ash's, had a few more beers and slept.

Beall came in at about 4am covered in blood and told us all how he and Ben had just had a fight with a bunch of bastards and one of them smacked him in the nose and broke it!

The next day.

Ash's sheffield skater of the year trophy is amazing.

Beall and his trophy...

Will chillin' next to Regans pimped out ride.

We headed to the DIY spot.

Earth Pain advertising!

This spot is fucking sick, DIY stuff is the best.

We skated this ledge later on in the day.

I ate shit and nearly killed myself.

Cruickshank (James) and a couple of other dudes came over to Ash's and we had premiere 2 of the video, projected onto Ash's wall. Steez.

Rail spot for rail dudes.

After the rail spot we skated Dev all day.

Sun was out and it was a dope session.

Gully

After Dev we drove back to London and it took 3 hours, pretty good going I reckon.

Cheers Sheffield! See you next time.

Big hypes to the Science promo coming soon!

Muska Is The New Will!

2011-02-27T03:52:00.000-08:00

So as soon as we got to the Krew party Muska was at the bar trying to get a free beer, it kinda sucks that he didn't have his own private bar, but whatever.
I told him how Fulfil the Dream was my first skate video (although that is a bare face lie as it was Flip Sorry (I think)). Then I gave him props about doing the Gonz rail. Shiiiiiit.

It was one of those good free beer parties where you can get 10 beers at a time (if you could carry 10 beers and still dance to Muska beats).
Dwayne took full advantage.

I had more photos like this...

Muska said "Lets get wasted London!!!" on the mic and it was insane.

That guy...

Smashley became our personal photographer for the night, cheers man!

Will and Rowan (reppin).

Me and my mate who does tailslides to fakie in red tracky bottoms.

He must have drank about 30 cans of redbull.

We got shots from the bar, of whiskey or rum, and Will was sick into his own hand, he told me about this and I didn't give a shit because I was chillin' with the Muska. Sorry Will but Muska is the new Will.

I don't know what kinda of layers Rowan is wearing.

Oh yeah, Stevie was there.

This photo makes me look so much whiter than I really am.

This photo reminds me of 411 issue 60 so much.

Stevie has that 'day in the life' and Will eats shit trying to snap that board in the drain.

Last photo -

Smashley's dirty back. That's the kind of night it was.

Thanks Krew but I'm still not going to spend £70 on jeans.

Also, Tom Penny wasn't there, bummed!

I wanted him to hot-box the club.

EDIT

----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a quote from a friend of mine;

"Fuck man, muska is so cool! Hes so whack, that he's gone full circle and just become cool again, you know?

Like saying "oh muska is cool" is like some sort of Vice magazine ironic statement, but then he just surpassed that and actually became the lord jesus christ. Fuck"

The Mini Ramp!

Beer Jacket

2011-01-23T13:54:00.000-08:00

George's new jacket is a really good beer carrying device.

I went all the way to Harrow for Dwayne's art show...
His stuff is mad epic!

Le Artiste him sen - Dwayne "Ripped jeans" Coleman.

Serious product placement is going down in my house right now.

Holsten really need to sponsor Earth Pain 666.

This mini-ramp is fucking rad. It's in Karim and Tomek's living room!

There will be an edit on the Science site soon of me doing the vert hammers.

Giant!

Dwayne Coleman

2010-12-23T04:42:00.000-08:00

My parents snowy garden is some seriously idyllic shit right now.

The Get Lesta Premiere...

Josh was all pissed and fucked up when he got to the park, whipped out of a ramp and smashed his face on the floor. Then passed out next to a slushy machine.

Shit blurry photo of some people waiting for the video.

Marky Marks killed it - nuff bangers.

Earth Pain section was standardly the best. All the boys came through.

It was also Dwayne's birthday! (soppy bit...)

I love Dwayne, he's one of my favourite dudes to be around, wether it's skating or drinking beer he's the fucking best and I'm stoked that we both live in London.

Later in the night Dwayne puked outside of Firebug and went home all passed out and shit.

Ben Eye-Browles Moat and Will in Mosh.

Classic JB up in the club.

Universal Dinosaurs can skateboard, fucking mental.

The skateboard comp...

The over 16s went mental, always about 20 dudes charging and bailing onto other dudes.

It was hilarious.

Mayhem.

After the comp we drove to Sheffield to do some filming for the Hustler Magazine Skate video.

It was a time to man-up.

The snow definately had it's advantages.

Farting Rat Game

2010-12-02T04:57:00.000-08:00

Obverse posters at The Bear. A pub that is literally across the street from my house.
I reckon that's the main reason for the exhibition being there...

House party photos never get boring, do they?!
Basi blessed the scene up.

Dan being a mash-man up in da club.

Surya speeding up the effects.

Will Miles blazes da peng scuff!

Tom playing robot unicorn attack.

Catch My Fade

2010-10-31T09:32:00.000-07:00

What follows is how the Earth Pain collective celebrate the sanctifiction of matter.

Kyle doing some real tattoos for Will, with a posca, that will come off with water.

We watched Hellraiser and drank mad beers before going out.

Dwayne was dressed as a hick with a baby pig bursting out of his beer gut and I was dressed as Anwtaun Dixons face.

Earth Dwayne

God knows...

Obviously we watched Memoirs of a Moron before we left the house.

Weed and beer and bursting pigs.

George as Ziggy Sobotka from the wire.

Shadow Ben

Classic Will and George looking super creepy and fucked up.

Josh went as a mechanic or some shit.

Matt went as a hungry caterpillar or some shit.

Lewis Stringer Bell.

This guy was fucking unbelievable, I mean come on! Who does this.

I'd call him names (douchebag, twat etc) if he wasn't actually quite polite.

Decorations were good.

Drunking beer through his snorkle.

HELL WAS FULL, SO HE CAME BACK!

Josh had to get semi nude to take a piss, so of course I was there to snap it.

Perma-stoked.

The Wu logo with Dre underneath is one of the better ones...

Ba-ba- Basi?

Me and 3 bitches (who are nice people), stoked.

I say nice people....

Vonshteen killing it.

James Dean or someone.

Tida was being a nazi.

Ziggy and a panda.

Checkley was naked all night and being a total hilarious mess.

It's yo boy! TWUUAAAN

We thought this guy was the kool aid guy but he wasn't.

Sad eyes...

Trade center tattoos. Gonna regret that in the am.

Three blonde chicks, how could this get any better?

Oh! I know. With added Dwayne.

Dan was a tin foil man.

Trombone was Terminator once he'd been shot up a bit.

Jake's hat was way too big.

Corpsin!

I look so fucking cool.

George suddenly became the Terminator.

Represent

There was a blood bath. I think people were pissing in it.

Antwuan stole Nicola!

Badmans.

Cartman Bart attacking Kyler Durden.

Halloween is fun.

Goliath Tigerfish

2010-10-22T01:36:00.000-07:00

I can't believe this fish exists - A Goliath Tigerfish aka the Giant Piranha.
Well done Jeremy Wade that's some scary-lookin shit.

I'm not in to fishing but this is fucking sick, giant piranha badboy.
Check him talking about it here.

Earth Premiere 5

2010-10-16T12:47:00.000-07:00

The day before the premiere we went to the Muybridge exhibition at the Tate Britain, it was good but these planes were super good.

Our premiere at Bad Seed, Corsica Studios.
There was a rad turn out and I got really drunk from free drink tokens (cheers).

Basi boy-ing the mandem.

Trombone is the best dancer and dancefloor schmooze.

A job well done...

Dwayne was killing it.

Mark was all passed out in the exclusive-vip area.

Josh and Nicola.

I wish there were more photos but it was a pretty hectic drunken time.

Here's to the next video...

The 5th Episode

The promo for Earth Pain5 - watch on youtube

Bowling for George Collumbine

2010-09-29T08:08:00.000-07:00

We went bowling and George sucked, face palm.

Eight consecutive gutter balls.

Then there was a zine fair at uni, we set up a really good Earth Pain stall and sold more prints than I expected. A mother with a baby in a pram even purchased one of my balding man prints, stoked.

Making it rain...

Matt sold a bunch of his Stuhl Gang stuff but looked suicidal all day.

Firstly, I don't believe in Diet Coke because it fucking sucks. But, the woman running the event gave us loads of free bottles of it so we didn't get parched throughout the day. Cheers anyway.

Matt Hay: Alone in a room full of people.

Me, Kyle and George DJd (played cds) at Bad Seed.

Our set consisted of too much Dino J and that cool Four Horsemen song from the new Pontus video. Actually, I think all the songs we played were from skate vids.

This photo sucks and we look stupid but it gives you an idea of what we look like when we DJ at the Millenium dome every weekend.

Brothers Slater, both DJd. Laurence killed it, Tom was ok.

Josh with more beer hammers.

Will doesn't even smoke that much weed. If any.

Basi with more beer hammers.

Kyle's girlfriends twin.

Dancefloor hammers.

T-Bone entered the building like this and did not stop until he left. Brilliant.

Good straw...

I caught Henry confidently drinking a blue wkd outside Bad Seed, fair enough.

Anonymous tagger.

I hope we get a residency at Matter or Ministry.

Birthday Times

2010-09-23T05:06:00.000-07:00

I've not updated this for ages cus I don't really give a shit anymore.

Nah, only joking, I didn't have the internet because I moved house...

These photos are from the days around my birthday...

Cheers Powley, now I can rep Southbank all the time.

Leicester boys came down for the birthday beers and skate celebrations.

Eric and George, gay together for life.

Will lives in Waterloo now.

Hoodrats

Don't give John no bammer weed. Fire stick for fucking life.

Beaver and Will looking at internet porn.

We went to a different skatepark everyday. SB, Royal Oak, Stockwell, Mile End, Cantelowes and Mudchute.

The regretment.

Everyone is repping the real shit. Good to see.

We went to White Heat.

TSLates does some mad-tech job there.

Next day, Happy Birthday to me and John.

Fry-ups at Fezs.

John had a killer sausage that was mad tight.

Stupid gay sausage.

After the food we went to Stockwell to skate the beers out of our systems and implant some more

Ben and Regan live in Waterloo with Will.

Messy beer accidents.

T-Bone!

We went to a trip club called Browns in Shoreditch.

It was rad. The last girl stripped to Wonderwall...
John was wearing a paper hat.

Ugly-ass mates.

Beardy guy

The guy on the left has some stunning footage for the next Earth Pain video, wallriding a moving bus on a bike? Damn son. Y'all aint ready.

Basi blackout on the 35.

Mile End is so good - still.

For taste or four tastes? I dunno.

Fire stick yet again.

This cats necklace is worth more than most homes.

Gay Sean has some mental garms.

Eric has murdered himself getting mad EP footage.

We went to a party at Emily's and it all kicked off and Will got punched by a girl, it was hella funny.

Cecil

Will - post beating.

Checkley with mad beer hammers...

OG Leicester mandem.

Some skinhead thug was there reppin' Grantham.

KO'd party bitch - props.

My camo bag is Ray Mears.

Possible skatepark for New Cross. Looks dope.

Stay Gold

2010-08-27T04:36:00.001-07:00

A snail on a girls glass (or one she found in the garden) at a party.

Ben's beard is looking good these days.

Guitars and double denim are killing it.

George sneaking a crafty beer before the Stay Gold video premiere.

It was pissing it down.

So Stay Gold was ok, not the best thing ever.

Westgate, Hsu, Reynolds and Suski fucking killed it - These parts were all amazing, Westgates pushes are so good, he skates like a staffordshire bull terrier. Szafranski sucked, I don't get it, maybe groms like him but whatever. Spanky was good, better than I expected but I don't know why he does a switch bigspin heel on flat in a line, as Josh Cox shouted out at the premiere; "Worm burner!"

Anyway, haters gonna hate blah blah blah.

Definately buy it when it comes out.

Jerry's part is worth it alone.

HSU HSU HSU

Afterwards we went to a Peroni thingy, it was just loads of free Peroni for no reason other than brand awareness, it's got me writing about it on the internet so maybe that was it's purpose. The whole thing was set up like a big fake italian film festival, there were sexy italian bitches everywhere. We drank hella beer and got hyphy, George even bumped into a guy and he smashed a glass - stoked.

George isn't sweaty, it was raining outside.

What a smile aye...

Old Blue Last after the Peroni thing to hang out with skaters and talk shit on everything.

Joe doesn't talk shit and he loved Reynolds big kickflip.

This guy was partied out.

Gutted mate. The last thing you need is someone taking photos.

COXY BALLS

2010-08-19T13:26:00.000-07:00

Josh filmed this part a little while back and Jake has just put it online to help with DVD sales an that lot. He's the best east-end geezer in the game and he's currently filming for EARTHPAIN5.

The Boardslide Isn't a Make

2010-08-13T14:03:00.000-07:00

Some photos from my last days in the Midlands. Now I'm back in London.

Typical

2010-08-07T05:46:00.000-07:00

I'm still in Leicester (back in London on Friday 13th)

I get a lot of these txts when gathering bros to go skate.
It sucks.

Pingu Hat

2010-07-31T14:56:00.000-07:00

I went on holiday with my parents, two sisters and sisters boyfriend to Portugal.
We had a flight at 6am, I was on an hours sleep.

Where did this fish get a cool Pingu hat?

Sisters bf Ryan and one of those euro big beers.

There is some killer footage of this for EP5

Skateboarding bull

yeah yeah beaches.

Mad handstyles for TSlates.

I loved this meal. Fillet steak is unstoppable.

This cat came into the bar we were at and did a jagerbomb!

Sand pisses me off.

Ryan skinny dipping in the villa.

THIS was a 5% Carlsberg, I've never seen one before.

When in Spain, erm-gulp, I mean Por-tu... fuck it.

It's basically Spain anyway.

More steak.

Me and my dad with prop drinks.

The last night.

We flew back at 10am.

I'm now back in Leicster with a brilliant tan and no-one appeciates it.

London soon.

RIP

Happy Birth Survival George

2010-07-15T05:06:00.000-07:00

Cometh the day.
Cometh the man.

George has finally made it into the 21 club.

Here is his all time favourite facial expression thanks to some guy from Tiltmode.

Bruce Willis being the little gay-bo that he is.

George enjoying his OTT birthday cake.

Gershon

2010-07-14T08:35:00.000-07:00

My laptop has blown up, so I'm doing this update from Kyle's laptop whilst he is out. He doesn't even know. If he comes back he'll probably be pissed at me, so I need to be quick.

George gave this guy a haircut, lols.

Phil held it down and came to the Earth Pain 4 premiere on time, he was the first person there, that's Leicester love for ya.

Checkley got a rad tattoo, he's even more like Antwuan now.

We were out for Trombones birthday and he was getting mad hyphy.
Then Jake went to hug him and he barfed all over Jake, it was disgusting. We all thought it was fucking hilarious and Jake let it slide 'cus it was TBones birthday.

Dudes hugging. No homo

Georgio Armani

Tom and Kyle had their uni show in cool ass east London, there was hella free beer and nuff hoes for the mandem.

Kyle used this as an opportunity to promote the PAIN.

The free beers/wine really fucked us all up.

Mikey doing the classic; 2 beers in hand.

This photo was supposed to be about dudes wearing similar shirts but it works much better as George and Shin-heads wedding photo. Look how happy they is.

After all the art shows loads of people sat about at Hoxton sq like a bunch of hipster fags.

Tslates was toasted. What a hipster fag (not really I love Tom and he is good).

I watch a lot of COD these days. It is destroying my housemates.

Georges fridge got pained.

Kyle on a Gershon ting.

I'm in Leicester for a week, then Portugal with my fam, then Leicester again, then back in London. DA BIG SMOKE.

Sting

2010-05-31T05:06:00.000-07:00

George seconds away from doing that weird shitty trick he does.

Sleepin' at Stockwell.

Black Busenitz

2010-05-24T04:42:00.000-07:00

Science trip to Sheffield for the weekend.

Cruickshank sleeps like this then gets up and breaks himself all day, ultra-beast.

Ash and Shaun bomb this hill everyday, it's fucking gnarly, I nearly died.

Dev was proper hot, Jake kept himsen in the shade with a lolly. Whilst I had the gnarliest slam of my life and had to lay on the frying pan floor.

Prawn Curry

Dreamlands

Ash was gutted when Ben snapped his board.

We all watched Ben mash up Subway nine.

Sun-burn corner.

Keen

Ben skated the steps and we looked out for squiders.

Shaun was pissing in bushes.

Squids!

Jake battled against this bluntslide.

We all had sunburn like a lads on tour to Magaloof.

That hill!

Black Busenitz.

Waiting for the coach home. It was super hot but with beers it was manageable.

Thanks for letting us stay Shaun and Ash. Good times. Dev edit soon I think.

Tom was tired from his two days of chilling in the sun drinking beers, ha!

Malmo

2010-05-20T03:54:00.000-07:00

Last week I went to Malmo, Sweden. It was with Vice, all expenses paid, so that they could make a book about concrete parks and stuff in Sweden. Along with me was Tom and Jake came out of his own pocket to gather footage. Jonnie was taking photos and seeing that everything ran smoothly.

Fake fags on the plane.

Sleepy boys on the plane. We left Gatwick at 8 so had to get there super early.

Copenhagen, Denmark and then a train to Malmo.

This was the first park we went to. Jake, back smith.

Danger at the hotel.

Sibbarp. I was tricked into entering the comp here, wait for Jakes footage from it.

In the sea.

The longest bridge in Europe.

I can't speak highly enough of Pontus or the video.

Some board hit a kid in the nose, it was horrific.

2nd Hotel wasn't as swanky as the first.

Pontus spot. Absolutely amazing and totally hard to skate.

Seagull eggs.

Jonnie and Pontus.

Airport criminal.

As soon as I got back I went to the Amersham arms for the Earth Pain DJ set.

Fran had fucked her knees somehow.

I took loads more photos and they are here.

Malmo is tranny camp, so now I've been there I'll probably be at Stockwell everyday.

Earth Ham

2010-05-08T05:31:00.000-07:00

Charlotte and Matt rocking one of those really cool t-shirts that I've seen everywhere recently.

Be-jewelled phone and Earth Pain t-shirt, proper high end.

A nobel mans phone.

Who the fuck drinks Hoegaarden? You're boy wild Dwayne!

We got mad drunk til like 5 in the morning, which made it a 10 hour binge (fucking stupid). Watching the election. This was the moment of impending doom.

This girl gave Matt ink poisoning.

Earth Ham

Next day at Mudchute, Josh fs feebles the sub-box.

Steez code. This is how I'm rolling right now.

We went for a post-skate-dinner at Nandos.

George, the greedy git.
