Digging through archives (Part 1?)

While tidying up some folders on the laptop I came across some old shots that had been hidden away. Images that haven’t been shown because they didn’t fit anywhere. Put away in folders like “Misc” and “temp” they are a time capsule to be opened only when I am bored enough to sort through them. Today is one of those days.
So here, just for you is one for you from the days when skaters would swarm rather than trickle into a skate spot. The days when UFS was still an option and grind plates were common. Who can remember the who, when and where? If you’re stuck, follow the link to the gallery of the day…
One City One Shot Episode #5

So, the snow had finally (mostly) melted, not that we could tell as we drove over the Pennines to Sheffield. Surrounded by the pure white hills and clear lake water none of us could quite believe that spring had arrived and we were going to skate. The Steel City itself however was relatively warm and sunny and rammed full of skate spots. After the first few warm up spots, I grabbed some decent shots but then as the sun went down we hit our last spot of the day.
This is where Steve Swain decided to test out his new Kaltik Frames and flat setup on not only the kink rail, but this insane double set gap.
Just wait for that footage…

Not much to say except this event looks amazing. Watch the video then book your tickets I say. Roll on Summer sessions in Amsterdam.
Suspension Frames to come from Create Originals?
Posted: 25th February 2013 by Duncan Clarke in Products News, TechnicalTags: Create Originals, Frames, New, Street, Suspension
Remember Fiziks frames? What about Kizer suspension frames? These were concepts that were heralded as a new solution to rough surfaces and many other claims. Neither of these products lasted long but now the guys from Create Originals are stepping up to the plate. In this Kickstarter project they are looking for backers to help them progress their ideas from prototype into production.
One City One Shot Episode #4

A weekend in Manchester and people are out. This is in no small part down to the efforts of new boy to the area (though long time friend and supporter of UrbanLines) Kyle Murray. It seems only fitting then that of all the spots that have been wrecked recently, this is the pick of the last couple of days. First spot of the day and Kyle’s back royale on this ridiculous metal drop ledge.
