Watching the Gonz on Adidas video I noticed a section of him skating at Markfield park. Does anyone know what video this is from?

Anybody into DIY boards?
Am preparing a custom deck for my 8 year old son. He has a proper 80s freestyle board already (7x27, I wanted him to have a board suitable for his size to start out on, it's been a really good beginning), now I want to build him a kind of 70 bowl board/cruiser cos he wants his freestyle board to have loose trucks and soft wheels, so I reckoned I should just build him a mini 'long' board for that. Nice and flexy, super-responsive modern longboard trucks and sticky slalom type wheels.
Does anyone know if a woodstain finish is hard to do? The deck is all pressed* and ready to cut, just drawing shapes on it right now.
What freestyle deck does he have? This is my old Sims Pierre Andre from the 80s:
Woodstain is pretty easy. Are you using wood oil, or lacquer, or whatever? I'd avoid varnish.

Thank you for posting that, the Gonz is wonderfully unique.

Blank uncut, just noticed the half-shape I've sketched onto it needs to but flipped round, as I've got the longer flat at the tail rather than nose. Hoping to fing some woodstain this week.

This touches more on the creative ways skateboarding looks at obstacles and the history of Southbank as a skatespot.

I think it's wrong to say Billy Bragg hates skateboarders.
However it does seem a rather lazy article. He doesn't really explain the background to why representitives of skaters refused to meet with other community groups. He is setting himself up against skaters in this. I think it's not a very thought-provoking article, rather antagonistic - skaters don't like buskers - skaters are stopping poor kids have opportunities - which is obviously bollocks. Skaters never needed no grants or arts council to make SB an amazing spot. So Bragg is def being a twat IMO.

BB doesn't live or vote in London so he should go pontificate back home in Dorset.
His attempt to engage with skaters involved him going into Slam City and shouting at the Saturday kids working until he was asked to leave by management. They have it all on CCTV but he continued to lie on Twitter about his behaviour.

Plenty of SF hill bomb lines, fair play to the filmer as well.

But can he ollie up a kerb? His part in Extremely Sorry was full-pelt but this makes it look like a wet weekend - helicopter drop-in to 50/50. Right on.
