From the past while ive been kinda slacking on the blog side of things because ive been shooting alot of other photos aswell as skating but alot of things im keeping back from posting, I think its a good idea to make a weekly post on Freddie Lusk because he just pulls off so many unexpected tricks in a week that needs to get Photographed and hes getting better and better every day he skates. I have some mental ideas for photos thats rite up his street and hes always up for shooting photos no matter what it is. Keep an eye on the blog this week for the first photo from freddie which will be posted soon.

Jake Marshal : Wallride at Kelvingrove

Last night was a good night for getting photos and general fun. Ended up at the park all day and it was getting dark so we decided to head to Renfrew park on the 747 bus and get a skate before the lights went out at 8.50pm. Got a really good photo with Tom at the park which is a keeper for the time being. The Lights went out and we headed back to Glasgow in search of new spots to get a photo at and thats exactly what we found within the Glasgow harbor, this set is just tucked away with a perfectly smooth run-up and landing. This is just one of the tricks tom stomped down the set.

New spot find

2011-02-19T16:32:00.000-08:00

Came across this rail, At the moment with this horrible weather the landing is hellish, curved in that red grit thats going to be kicking about on the pavements for the next few months because the council put it down and dont get it cleaned up. It could be brushed up to get a sesh on the go but apart from that it looks interesting, its about the size of a board standing up and about 7ft long and the run up is fine, to compare it to another rail its just as good as the run up to Mitchel rail (the run up picture makes it look bad but its because the flashes are creating shadows and make it seem like the spaces between the slabs are huge) but its well skateable.

Tom Shimmin : backside tail

This is a throw-away photo we got at the Bench outside the bus station. Its a fun spot to skate but the run ups a little strange but apart from that a good bench for a first spot to warm up on a cold winters night, my fingers were frozen trying to take this shot and my flashes were running out of power so I had to shoot only using the one but apart form that it was a good night.

Danny : Drop Glasgow

This things a good 15 feet probably more, Ive looked at it and every time and thought it would be fun to drop but I'm too shit bag for it. Told Danny about it and he was hyped for me to shoot a sequence. I couldn't believe it when he got up there didn't think fuck this but just went for it and ended up eating shit at the bottom and surprisingly got up again and landed it second go.

Foxspot now has a block three!

2010-07-28T16:01:00.000-07:00

Today we found ourselves in town enjoying a street skate. The skate took us to Fox Spot which is a simple skate spot with a waxed block and some decent flat smooth ground. There has been some chat amongst some skateboarders about taking off the rail to reveal a gnarley block three step at foxspot and out of the blue that's what we did today. There was three of us, Snowman ,Shimmin and I all helped to move the railing. We didn't intentionally plan to take the railing off but we spotted some bmxers battering about so we asked to borrowed an adjustable spanner and it did the job, within no time the bolt were off and the skate was on.

Tom Shimmin: Kickflip( which is shiftyed to hell) and a sickk boooonned ollie.
