Slam City Skates VS Jake's Alley

Absent

2012-02-03T15:32:00.005Z

Sorry for having a slack Alley. Our internet has been halted at home and i've not been near this desktop very much, rarely is it not mail order filled. What i've wanted to tell you about are a few of the things i've seem of late, art shows etc. My love affair with our city has enjoyed a rennaisance of late. I wanted to list up a few things you should go and see but don't have the time right now. Briefly, I saw this the other night...

We put the set together on Monday, it was a real experience. Standing ovation, everyone clapping and smiling ear to ear. Here's a taster ...

Don't forget about this tonight...

Skate City Scene Zines is a collaborative project between Grey Skateboard Magazine, Anzeigeberlin and à propos for Carhartt. The London section features Jerome Campbell, Joe Gavin, Mario Wirnsberger and Rob Smith. The cover looks like this...

Slam City Skates is one of the exclusive stores you can pick one up from so get down to us and pick one up whilst stocks last.

Long gone are the days of keeping tabs on what was going on behind the facades of Ramsey street or in a Summer Bay beach house on a jobless noon rise. Gone because of circumstance and gone because television went and changed, different shows got us hooked back then, mostly sit-coms I feel and even semi serious shows were injected with humour. There were your Cheers and Roseanne style shows, easy to follow, missing one wouldn't leave you in a tailspin of confusion and they filled most tv sets come 6 or 7. Other shows demanded they be more keenly followed, I would say Northern Exposure is a good example of this crossover and we all tuned into Quantum leap. Please message me more examples of game changers, it is interesting. British staples as examples when serious drama was to be addressed would be Casualty and the Bill. Correct me if i'm wrong here but I feel it all started to change around the X files, the advent of the box set. Shows put together with an end further than a season or two in sight changed the way we watched television. Which leads us to now when there are series' left, right and centre, sometimes three seasons deep already before you've even dipped a toe. We are all chasing the next Soprano's, the next The WIre. Well tonight I have a little time set aside and a toe free to dip. Following a Mark Jackson tip off and because of the impact these three things had on me as a youth...

I'm going to give this a chance...

Abrams has two episodes waiting for me, any hint of funny business...

and I'll watch it religiously to the end and then realise it was all just a dream.

Excited about this...

Nike and Grey have teamed up to produce a one off newspaper publication. It promises to be rammed with content and has been a labour of love for Grey staff and contributors. More info on its release and the launch will be on the

Monday was the last post? Today is Thursday! What is happening? Well the Police want to take me to court, this is a long story I'll be able to tell one day when I've calmed down and hopefully have a happier tale to tell, this has held up blog proceedings. One main time consumer these last few days has been being lost in the glorious world of one of these things...

It's incredible, I can't believe I survived without it etc. Like anything in my every day life getting the thing hooked up/number changed over/internet to work was no walk in the park but I think each crease has been ironed out and the fun has begun. Instagram is a winner. Things that have been good lately, new guilty sit-com pleasure is this...

Apologies, it's saccharine sweet entertainment, brain at the door style. I've admitted to it, wincing a couple of times and have been met with "Oh I watch that too" on more than one occasion so I think it's okay. This is a great treat, thank you
Don't Watch That TV ...

Kalis on curbs stoked me out...

Skating to and from work lately has been fun. Paddy's back from Tokyo and straight on the Salad Bar's woodwork...

Daisuke is currently in Berlin and I'm going to bed.

2012-01-16T12:26:00.002Z

I was excited to come home after a Sunday night shred with Hegsy and watch this vid which made it's way to us from NY...

It's an entertaining watch and will make you want to skate, lots of New York exposure. Josh Stewart filmed for it, think we will make it our mission to buy some in and then you can pick one up, I reccomend it. Have a look at a teaser trailer...

Will let you know as I do

The times they are a-changing

2012-01-11T10:23:00.002Z

It's a day changer

She is bright tonight...

2012-01-10T00:05:00.003Z

She was and she shone on us...

The full moon lit an unexpectedly warm skate South of the river this evening and nobody lost it. Usually full moon's happen and nights transpire all over the place with a more haywire bent than usual. One time I recall four or five of us blearily recalling the events of the night before, each night's story independent of anyone elses, so four or five in total and each tale as out of keeping as the last. This was in Present, everyone trying to make sense of the night before as much as anything. Everyone was putting the puzzle pieces together, I remember Ash gleefully putting his finger in the air and exclaiming "full moon!" He was right too, this was a tame one just gone. I made sure my new diary has a lunar calendar in it so i'll keep you warned in future.

Look no further

2012-01-08T03:09:00.003Z

When I thought the comedy void left by devouring the last season of Curb as it happened (and re-watching far too soon afterwards) would never be filled, I was proven wrong. Karl's tip off today has put me right back on track...

You need this in your life

It's a castrated rooster called a Capon and it's delicious, this is what dinner looked like...

Here is an edited highlight from the Christmas book Wob got me, funny stuff...

Provoked a lot of laughter that did.

Finally we all need to see more of this little guy...

Xmas Party

2011-12-15T23:03:00.004Z

It's been sporadic, soz. Mail order is this time of year's order of the day. Last night was full of cheer and busy to boot. Everyone came out and a good old time was had by all so thanks for making it. Had a lot of fun playing music with this guy...

I'm pretty sure it's the most fun I've ever had playing music, Stu Hammond who was Lev's right hand man last night concurs, Good people, live room, nice times. You can see a few more photos
here The new Grey is a great one, make sure to pick up a copy in Slam, seeing the City Of Rats trailer Henry has put together was exciting, people are hyped, it's gonna be a keeper. See you in the shop when you pick up the new mag.

Stocking Filler Fodder

2011-12-10T18:03:00.002Z

We just had a shipment of these...

They're £74.95! We have the blue, the yellow and the red. Look how much fun they are...

We have a few in stock but I'd hurry because there's been a lot of demand for these, they are a nice thing.

Award Winning (kind of)

2011-12-09T16:18:00.002Z

It's pretty sick that your favourite local skate shop has this sticker in the window...

I think so anyway

Richard Brautigan

2011-12-08T18:13:00.004Z

It's been a good week for reading in my world. Treacherous Weather has meant I've enjoyed these two novels, both of which I have only dipped into here and there. Richard Brautigan writes with both a wisdom and an innocence, I enjoy his descriptive language. "The old shack had a tin roof coloured reddish by years of wear, like a hat worn under the guillotine" Not so much happens in these novels but you enjoy the ride, equal parts tragedy and comedy at the core of each. You should give them a go...

He was an interesting and unfortunate character whose suicide note read simply "Messy, isn't it?" Perhaps a happier take on existence in his words to tie this up is "All of us have a place in history. Mine is in the clouds"

Ho Ho Ho

"party"

2011-12-06T14:38:00.003Z

Christmas is looming, something anybody dealing with mail order at this time of year is acutely aware of. We've been working through them as the same amount again stacks up in the background, production line Elf style. One good thing this means is that the Christmas knees up is imminent and here is the thrice ammended flyer...

Hops would like you to ignore that question mark as he is confirmed. Suzi and Oli Mac sent me this, it isn't funny at all..

"What the heck!" is pure Napoleon Dynamite

The last one was such a good time...

It's sad the Big Man won't be backing this time around, this footage is a classic example of the party The Boss delivers. My advice is get a ticket.

Triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil

2011-12-02T16:00:00.002Z

You have probably seen the Palace Tres Trill video from the Battle of Normandy if you're in the skateboarding fruit loop. Urged on by Charlie's text of -why haven't you put the palace vid up?!! Here it is in all it's glory...

CANNON!

Must have

2011-11-29T17:58:00.005Z

Certain things evaded my ownership over the years, one of which I purchased earlier today when rain stopped play before it had even begun. As a child, as with most boys my age I had a healthy fascination with knives and guns. With age the spud gun became an air rifle etc. Knives were always the most viewed item in any gift shop. I clearly remember owning one of these...

It's a classic, although I have had many pen knives somehow I never owned the real thing, so today when I went to replace my nail file as rain had induced browsing I took a detour and got myself one of these...

My key ring's happier already. Get your diaries out because the Slam Christmas Party is around the corner...

and it's always a good time

And So It Begins

2011-11-28T17:07:00.002Z

Robin Williams in Slam is somewhat amazing, he is the originator of "adooooot" He makes the noise with the pinocchio nose extension in the Fisher King, missed a pap snap by having a day off for sure. What a good day off it was though, rain stopped play on the skateboard front so I went and saw this...

Definitely worth going to see. It's that time again, fun and dancing imminent...

Doku Daisuke is in town, had Pin on the horn this morning, it could be 2002. Luigi's show the other night was great and he sold some work, also last night's show at the Wayward gallery was a success. Pin answered his phone "Nowison" earlier today, an hour later Casper showed me this work of genius...

I feel I need to credit Fos with this gem but am unsure for certain of it's origin. Answers on a postcard please

Two things I did and liked

2011-11-11T17:20:00.004Z

You may have heard of the meatwagon in Peckham. It's burgers received critical acclaim, thanks to a Sam Ashley tip off we enjoyed one of them in their new home. Here's a peek at the outside...

It's called meat liquor, the food is amazing and I have it on good authority that one will soon open in Covent Garden, for now you simply must visit their new venture. More info
here I recommend the Mushroom Swiss burger. Another thing I really enjoyed was this yesterday...

Showtime

Wall of Fame

2011-11-09T15:14:00.005Z

Funnily enough skate photos rarely make it to the walls in here, you're more likely to see a photo of a baboon than a switch crook. Koston's Indy ad where he did 'the move' (backside 180 fakie 5-0) made the front of the counter, Grosso's Vans ad is up too actually and Toddy's Transworld cover but you get what I mean. Jimmy Lannon's recent sequence in Sugar made the grade, here are two choice frames. Have a good look when you're next in, manny mania...

Choppers, Police on horseback, sirens, protesting students, idealism, crowd management, yawn. One absent minded protester left their Wilson Picket outside...

Tempted to change the A to an F. That would be Unbelievable. I was banging on about Cowboy night yesterday, I used to love it there. Then on the coffee run I bumped into the guy who puts it on. It's this Saturday!...

Last time I tried to go in there was after Gareth's wedding, we'd put in some steady drinking time that day and were in suits, strangely the bouncer denied us entry. Better luck this time, it's a fine time in there, pencil it in to your schedule.

Think normal service resumes soon and some more day time skates should be on the horizon. One clip full of gems getting some serious play in here is this Gino montage, so sick!...

Visiting fam, skating, waking up late, having baths. It's been great. Excited about this film's release...

It seems like it will be in keeping with the humour of the Muppets we grew up with. Flight Of The Concords composed songs couldn't be a better shout. There will still be run outs of old classics like this apparently...

Check the footage of Wob skating really well down there followed by an O.G Notch crew Haslemere takeover, music by Hoggle...

Paddy left this open and I thought I'd share. Palmer Power House killing it when the bird shit banks were still part of our lives...

Up to speed with this and it's killing it...

Started this last night with a whole season ahead, it's gripping already...

This seems to have fallen off a bit but i'm sure it will pick up and hasn't "jumped the shark" completely...

This is still smashing it...

Coupled with my addiction to two minor leagye sit-coms I have entertainment covered, just wish Curb was 20 episodes long.

It was great seeing my brother and Rachel tie the knot yesterday. Groom's transport was taken care of by the newest mini incarnation...

the Bridal party were transported in these guys...

Here are the happy couple after the legal documents were signed...

Respective families in the sun...

and the Nan of honour...

It really was a perfect day, great to see old friends and family, great to have a microphone put the fear into me and ride it out and amazing to see my brother so happy.

It's been a busy few days in here. Let me leave you with an internet gem. Get google up and pump this search in- Where is Chuck Norris then hit the i'm feeling lucky button and see what happens.

Happy Birthday!

The scoop last night was getting to see Ghostface in a venue as small as Madame JoJo's, it really made my day. All of this was to celebrate Supreme...

Opening it's doors in the heart of Soho under the watchful eye of Jagger and Seth. Ghostface killed it...

Walking into Holland and Barratt this morning I accidentally kicked something on my way over the welcome mat. Not particularly phased by whatever it was I carried on towards the flapjack section until a shrieking/gargling sound came out of a hysterical woman i'd passed. "Eurgh! Agh! Shop Keeper! Till Man! Rat!" I glanced back, looked closer at whatever it was causing such a stir and to my dismay it was this poor little guy...

"That's not a rat, it's a mouse" I said and realised that my friend's demise was going to make purchasing a flapjack and a bottle of water before work impossible as all hands were feverishly on deck trying to figure out how to pick him up, I find the hand method works best but as I left he was being approached with an empty sandwich carton.

Stag

2011-09-05T22:51:00.019+01:00

Recently celebrated with my Brother, it was his last 36 holes of mini golf as a single man. Here are myself, him and his new brother inlaw...

After meeting up for breakfast the first stop was here..

It was a Luigi tip off. There were dinosaurs everywhere...

One of them got him...

Here's a T Rex with our dad hiding behind a bush...

Tom and the boys and a dancing raptor...

The course was amazing, one bit is in a cave behind a waterfall soundtracked by this explorer...

check out one of the holes in the cave...

Here's the waterfall...

It was a beautiful day and what better way to spend it. Next stop was here...

Different theme and some trickier holes. Here's a hole under heavy surveillance...

All sorts of wildlife...

Notice the blue waterfall. Here's a feisty one on a roof...

What followed was a swift pub visit, a good meal and drinks back at the Sawyer house. Standard stuff occurred later on in the evening...

his clingfilm covered body made movement quite seal like...

He took the inevitable like a man and managed to get his own back somewhat. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a great day. Finally one for posterity...

Love you brother.

Apologies for being off the radar, life stuff has been happening, life stuff and a lack of internet connectivity. There are certain things I need to bring to your attention. Let Louis walk you through his past exhibition at the Wayward gallery...

Also if you weren't there last night be sure to visit the Wayward gallery for the current show of Fos' work...

Also be sure to check out Jackson's early morning Truro outing with Pin. I love that Pin had a dance with his dog the day he learnt the ender, Pin is a legend!...

It's good to see this guy back in the Country...

We caught up over some drinks yesterday and also helped celebrate Susie Crome finishing her masters!!...

It's my brother's stag do tomorrow, see you on the flipside.
