6:57 updates.

There is an update over at 6:57 of a bit of footage of the Reskue block getting some action from Paget and Pete Blackburn who has been skating really well lately.

I'm really looking forward to Robs video, and he seems to actually be getting footage so no Fully Flared setbacks are happening!

Tibs and Darren and some friends took a trip to Oxford yesterday so hopefully taters should have an edit up of that soon.

We also have new decks from Motive and restock of Harmony and Plan B decks, Harmony do really well for us and they have a new promo out too, £6 for almost an hour of skating and you get a Harmony sticker pack as well! The skating is pretty rad, however Don Brider wants to have a word with Joe Gavin about his no Complies!

I love shops

HERE is a video from a shop located in Washington in the US. Its rad, I like seeing new spots and new skaters and shop vids are always looked back at when someone inevitably gets on a proper team. Maybe that will happen with the Reskue vid?

Theotis

To be honest I have no idea where this vid is from, I just found it on the Tube, bangin moves though, and he is rocking the ltd Altamont Reynolds slims that we have instore! We were one of only two stores in the country to get them!

Mike Carroll

This isn't that new but someone recently was saying they were dissapointed with the Lakai vid, here is a look at why Mike Carroll is rad.

Reskue vid!

So the Reskue DVD was pretty much done, everyone had a preview of their parts and seemed to like em, but Mr Greg Nowik has just returned from months of worldwide travel and has with him about 8 tapes of footage!
SOOO we have now postponed the release of the DVD in order to make an all new Nowik part! The part I have already edited together will go in the extras so you are basically getting a bunch more skating for your money! An all new episode of The Adventures of Joe Paget is going in too.
Here are a couple of vids of what Greg was up too in Oz.

Ravenous DVD

We have a few copies of the Scene video "Ravenous" from up Chesterfield way which has sections from Shaun Currie, UK Deathwish rider Timmy Garbett and more, and its only a fiver too! to buy one have a clicky HERE.

There is also a bit of footage of Andrew Brophy over HERE. He recently won the high ollie contest at ASR, at 42", under Danny Wainwrights record of 44.5", but only because he had already beaten everyone else by then! We neeed to see a Danny/Brophy match up!

Also Mr Rob "G Fresh" Crawford has a few clips of the Reskue Block getting some action, if you want to skate it then come on down to level 3!

Pj vs Reynolds and more!

Todays Battle at the Berrics is a banger!

There is also a wrap up of the recent Black Box trade show with a best trick video which is sick!

And there is also some terrible news regarding one of our team riders here.

Hensley!

There are some cool vids up at Plan B catching up with Matt Hensley, I don't need to explain who he is just watch the videos, click on Plan B tv at the site.

Deathwish!

We have a whole grip of new Deathwish decks in stock, including a few larger sizes (8.125) for the gnarlers out there, take a look HERE.
And if you are stupid enough to have not seen the Deathwish vid you can watch
Ellington HERE
Antwuan HERE
Leo Romero HERE
Theotis Beasley HERE
Bryan Herman HERE

That is basically most of the vid, or at least all the guys who ride for Thunder that are on Deathwish.

Motive skateboards

You might not have heard of Motive, it is Rob Selleys company, who was a well known UK skater in the late nineties and early millenium with pretty tech moves at the time, he has put together a team of really good uk skaters on the tech side of things and some of them are just turning pro.
We will have the first boards from Sean Smith, Dave Snaddon and Dylan Hughes real soon, you may not have seen much from these guys, or even heard of them, but check this promo for Motive and you'll see why they deserve to be pro!
Have a look at the graphics (which are sick) and what people have to say about them over on the Sidewalk forum.

Jose Rojo

To be honest I was never the biggest fan of his skating, compared to the rest of the Enjoi team he just didn't seem to have as much talent, and could be the reason behind him being an am for years, but that is not to say he hasn't got a good style, and he seems cool from his interview. so HERE is a vid from Etnies of Jose styling out some moves.

On a related note a new Tiltmode video should be out soon, if you don't know what Tiltmode is it is basically a crew of friends from the San Jose area which has Jose, Jerry Hsu, Marc Johnson, Jason Adams, Steve Cab, Colt Cannon, Louie Barletta etc and they have made two videos before, they are both rad and definately high on the feelgood factor and broing down and so i'm looking forward to seeing the new one.
to be honest i'm only telling you now so that when it comes out and its rad i can say that I bigged it up ages ago, which makes me super cool, or something.


Here is Jerrys part from the last one.

Simple Sessions!

I would hope that most people are out skating right now but if you are unlucky enough to be reading this then click here for a live broadcast of The Simpel Sessions, a european skate comp with some big US names in attendance.

Damn son!

THIS clip of Mike Anderson from the latest Krooked catalogue is so so good! Krooked always pick up stylish dudes!

The Berrics!

So today at the Berrics is Billy Marks vs Brandon Biebel, but tomorrow is Koston vs Donovan! could well be the best game yet!

Silas Part

HERE is a little download of a Silas Baxter Neal part from the Spitfire Spring Catalogue

Scott Decenzo

HERE is a bit of footage of the Plan B am, nollie noseblunt nollieflip out is pretty sick, he has a pretty rad part in the Plan B promo which you get free with the latest decks from Plan B.

Sorry there hasn't been many posts lately, we have been skating a lot! Taters made some skate dice and i'm not sure if it was loads of fun or just plain frustrating when you get things like switch frontside 360 heel, and we all just fling our boards around. We'll try and bring you some footage soon.

BORING

Taters thinks THIS is pretty boring, but I think its kind interesting, almost all the Reskue team skate 8" boards, if you have always had small boards maybe you should try a wider one, tricks feel more solid and its less likely to break too!

Pre order!

The preorder of the Reskue Remix is up now, the DVD will be £6 and in buying it you are supporting Southamptons only independent skate shop and helping us to make more DVD's in the future.
All orders will come with free stickers too.
Preorder your copy HERE.

Superfuture

We have got the latest Plan B decks which come with a free Superfuture DVD promo, and its really good! Also you may notice at other shops that prices of decks are going up from £50 to £55, Reskue is freezing its prices and keeping US decks at £50 for as long as we can.

We also have new decks from The Harmony and restock of Karma, including the tube light decks which are one of our best selling boards!

The Reskue DVD is very close to being done, it looks like the main feature is around 25 minutes and the extras clock in around 45 mins! A lot of people are asking when they can get it, it should be in around a week but i'm going to put it up on the site to preorder, then the day it comes in all the copies will be sent straight out.

6:57

OK Here it is, the first trailer for mr Rob Crawfords first full length outing, should be really good, and if footage of Jack and Adam are anything to go by lately then Paget and Curt have got some work cut out, i'm sure they won't let us down though.
Get a bit of insight into it all HERE at the 6:57 blog and HERE at the sidewalk forum.

Round 1 done!

Ok here it is, the last game in round 1! And its one of the best so far, I especially liked Kostons set (i don't wanna ruin it for you!) go and watch it now!

Tom Penny

I might have posted this before but some of you might not even know who Tom Penny is, originally from Oxford, Tom is one of the most naturally gifted skaters ever, it is easy to forget how good he is but watching this montage and seeing his style develop from sketchy to effortless is rad.

Tom Penny - eS 'Menikmati' bonus footage >>

Tom should be having a full part in the Flip video, but they keep things pretty well under wraps!
Here is more too!

Tom Penny - 411 'Wheels of Fortune' (1993) >>

Battle at the Berrics

Should I even need to tell you to check the Berrics anymore? This games a banger, PJ Ladd vs Tyler Bledsoe, and that means MJ is playing tomorrow!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a good new year, New Years day was one of my three days off a year so I sure did, we went filming to finish the Reskue vid New Years eve and it should be ready to go real soon.

There is some sale Vans stuff which has only just gone online including 5 different shoe models, some AVE cords and a tee and hoodie. All in limited numbers though so be quick!

Ooops!

The site didn't update with the new prices on some of the shoes, but its sorted now, so check out a bunch of es and Emericas from £35!

Sale Time (part 2)

Yep all the sale stuff is now online too, so if you are after a bargain get looking, but BE QUICK! Seriously, even today on the second day of the sale people have come back for something and it has gone, if there is something you are after then i'd get it while you can, we are probably the cheapest place in the country for Altamont right now!

I have been really busy getting all the sale up so haven't had much time to find any vids, then I went on the shop Myspace and Force had posted us a little vid of some of the team, and they are sick too!
Check some of these guys out, the padless stuff on vert is silly!

Sale Time!

Hope you all had a good Christmas and got loads of cool presents!
Our mega sale began today instore, and is starting to go online, all sale Hats, Decks and Shoes are now up, with the Clothing bargains going up tomorrow, if you don't want to miss the bargains then come instore!

New eras for a £10
Loads of shoes on sale, from £16
US pro decks from £35!
ALL our Altamont, Diamond, Indy tees are heavily reduced (25% or more!)
ALL Reskue brand clothing is HALF PRICE!
ALL the clothing is reduced between 10-70%
All our jeans are reduced too!

A few people have asked about the video too, saying they are looking forward to it, its kinda hard to tell if something is good when you have been working on it for ages, but i'm stoked on the skating from all the guys, and it is on its way!

Merry Christmas!

Jimmy Carlin

Rob Welsh said "have your flatground on lock and everything else falls into place"
Jimmy Carlin must have listened.

A wee bit o Scotland!

Here is a rad little edit of some scottish chaps hossing aboot!

Mag Minute

Chris Pfanner has the latest Mag Minute - and its really good!

Also Drew Dezort has one, with a questionable noseslide down El Toro.

To let you know we are open every day up to Christmas, closed Christmas day then opening again on Boxing day.

2008 in photographs

THIS has absolutely nothing to do with skateboarding, but if you can't appreciate it as pretty amazing then you are a jerk.

A few people have asked about the Reskue video recently, most sections are finished and it is looking pretty rad,but unfortunately the computer I was using to edit is on hiatus until monday, and then getting copies made will take a while too during the festive period, so realistically it might not be officially out until the new year, if I get a copy done i'll probably play it a bit in the shop, but you should buy it you cheapskates!
I'm gonna try and work out a deal where you get a package of deck, tee and DVD at a bargain price, but you'll have to wait and see.

Sickness

This video is gonna be rad, Jimmy Mcdonald section and an awesome line up of underdog skateboarders, oh and the first of this weekends Battle at the Berrics is up too.
Speaking of rad videos, the chief has put all the old Zero videos up on the Black Box site to download for $3.99 which is probably £3 or something, definately worth it!

New Dwindle stuff

All our new Enjoi, Almost, Blind and Darkstar stuff came today.
So we are now really well stocked for christmas, we have over 100 decks, 20 set-ups and 50 sets of wheels, making us the best place for skate hardware in Southampton, and beyond!

New bits and bobs!

We have had new Plan B decks from Sheckler, Prod and Danny Way and some wheels to match. Also some new Sheckler bearings and restock of the always popular Harmony decks.
Oh and if you are a fan of the Skate video game then maybe you will want to check this out too!
All the Christmas Enjoi, Blind, Darkstar and Almost stuff will be here on thurs/fri too!

Crossfire Christmas Jam!

If you didn't get to go then take a look at this vid, the standard was really high!

Crossfire Xmas Jam 2008 >>

Christmas Bits!

The first of the christmas bits for the weekend have arrived, including Independent lows at a new cheaper price (£45 a pair) and Bones Reds now a quid cheaper at £16.99!
We also have some Fox trucks which are a mid priced truck (£25 a set!) but have USA made rubbers and actually turn! They are definately good value for money and we are going to be getting a lot more in the future, if you are thinking of geting your first board or are on a budget they are great!

Summer Bailout!

Here is a little video from the DVS chaps, including an NBD from Torey!

I have had a lot of mums coming in asking for decks which you guys may have seen which have since been sold! If you are asking for something in particular for Christmas make sure your rents put it by, or come in as soon as they can, or find out if we can order it for you. I'd hate for you guys to have asked for a deck and not got it cos its been sold, or your parents came in too late!

To keep you up to date with board brands - we have new Plan B and Harmony decks arriving all the time, including the new Plan B acid trip decks and wheels from tomorrow, all Enjoi, Blind, Almost, Speed Demons and Darkstar decks and completes are coming next thurs which are hot for christmas, new decks from Death, Heroin, Landscape are coming next week too. We have a whole bunch of Zero, Mystery and $lave decks in stock now, and new Real and DGK decks too So reskue is definately the best place to come for your skateboard hardware this christmas! And with our set-up deals its easy for us to make a set-up for you!

If you are giving your folks a list make sure you put sizes and brands that you would prefer! "Deck from Reskue" might get you something you don't want!

And don't forget that all Reskue brand clothing is HALF PRICE when you spend over £15 and the Harmony DVD is half price too, so maybe ask for a Reskue hood from Nan when she comes in with your mum!

We are open late nights from next week too!

Fourstar Tour

Here is a little vid of the offcuts from a recent Fourstar tour, its cool when the supposed offcuts are banging on their own! Maltos line is pretty sick, the Tre flip is super nice!

Fourstar 2008 Mapquest Tour >>

It's Cold!

OK so it is getting pretty cold now, and ramps and parks are getting frosty, so now even if it hasn't rained it can be wet with dew and frost, pretty whack! But come on, there are loads of car parks in town that are dry, and a couple of extra layers will keep you warm! We have been taking a block down to a car park in the evening, trying to get a few lines for the video.
It is taking longer than I anticipated to finish off, everyone just needed a last few tricks but the weather has been rubbish, and paggers swanned off to New York when we need to film his enders, hopefully it will be worth the wait though!
In the mean time I thought you guys might want to see this vid:

Pretty raw stuff, static style.
Oh and I heard today that Document is finishing after the next issue, it really is a sad state of affairs at the moment, Slaps last ever issue is this month too, and Slap was definately one of my favourite mags! With this recession all these independent mags/videos/companies really do need your support, it is you that keeps them going! And keeps Reskue going!

Emerica Cheer Up Tour!

Here is some footage from the recent tour:

Emerica 'Cheer Up' UK Tour >>

Tampa Am!

Tampa Am is live again today, so click HERE to have a look! it is on at 12pm EST so 5pm here! It is cool seeing people skating regularly, as you only normally see slams and makes, sponsored people do bail too!

Kewday!

In the Reskue blog tradition here is a link that in no way encourages you to buy anything in store! Kewday is an Australian company and their new promo is well worth a look, I had seen some footage of Joe Pease before on a tour vid, everyone was skating stairs and he seemed a bit weak in comparison to be honest as he didn't have much footage, but its clear that stairs and gaps aren't his natural terrain and twangy rails and ledges are, as he kills it on this vid! Andrew Currie is awesome, his boneless is sick! Take a look HERE.
Chad Bartie rides for Globe and we sell those!
Oh and we do have some Chrstmas offers actually! The Harmony DVD is only £3 with any purchase over £10, and any Reskue brand clothing is HALF PRICE with any purchase over £15!
and you can combine the two, so you could for example get a Harmony Deck, DVD and Reskue zip for just £59.23! The deals are currently instore only.
If you are reading this after looking at the ad in Sidewalk then hi, check back everyday for new links and vids! Bookmark us!

UK Mini Ramp Champs

Here is a vid of the UK Mini Ramp champs, presented by Mr Churchill himself!

More from UK Mini Ramp Champs on Mpora TV >>

Also check out Sidewalk this month, there is a Reskue ad whicgh we'll be running every month from now on, Marc has a photo at the Crossfire ramp jam, and Dean Jones video gets a review too!

Jailbirds!

Tampa Am is coming up and there is going to be a live webcast of it this Sunday, i'll post a link in the next day or two, in the mean time you can look at this. parties definately happen during the Tampa contests and with 100's of skaters in party mode a brush with the law is pretty much inevitable, so enter your favourite skater in the search engine and see if they have been arrested at Tampa! The wonders of the internet!

Reskue vid

When i said yesterday we were finishing off the video, i should have said TRYING to finish off the video:

Curt, Marc, Paget and Tibs sections are pretty much done, so look out for offcuts soon.

Funny

We are still finishing off the Reskue video, paget is getting new moves all the time, but you'll have to wait to see em, in the mean time you can laugh at this:

Malto vs Donovan

THIS is definately the most exciting thing that has happened to me this week, maybe thats a bit sad, but the hype around this game of skate has been HUGE! Malto is obviously amazing, but Donovan is the epitomy of an underdog.
Oh and from tomorrow if you didn't know the government has cut VAT by 2.5%, which isn't much, but it does mean we will be knocking that much off all the marked prices instore!
And don't forget we now do undercarriage deals saving you around a tenner on full set-ups.

Antiz competition!

If you didn't know, Antiz are amazing. They are a gnarly European company in a sea full of tech ledge euro guys and when I saw their first video I thought they were awesome, and it wasn't just me that thought so, Steve Forstner was offered a pro contract with one of the big American companies.
We have a couple of copies of the Antiz promo DVD to give away and to win one all you need to do is e mail andy@reskue.co.uk and say which company Steve Forstner was offered to turn pro for, even if you don't know maybe guess, include your name in the e mail and if you are a winner i'll e mail you back and you can pick up your DVD next time you are in the shop.

Elwood

Elwood have been around for years and they have recently built up their team to have a mixture of some of the most stylish skaters around:
Silas Baxter-Neal
John Rattray
Anthony Pappalardo
Dan Drehobl
Kenny Anderson
and they have a few ams including Vincent Alverez and Guru Khalsa.
Take a look at the site for a few videos and photos of the team.
From the spring we are going to have a full range of Elwood clothing, but for now as an introduction we have the city series tees, which have a print of each skaters home town, all Elwood clothing is organic and they are members of 1% for the planet too, so you can look good and feel good too.
Take a look at the city series tees HERE.

UK Champs

This is a bit late but here is the first vid of two of the UK Champs presented by mr Marc Churchill!Part 1.

The Reskue Remix DVD is nearing completion, and this is the last weekend the team have to film! Then the editing will be finalised next week, we'll get them copied so it should be ready for sale in about two weeks!

Black Box again!

So all the new Black Box stuff is now online, including the Duraslicks and Zero bearings and there is also a Ten Tricks with Jamie Tancowny.

Black Box stuff

We have a whole bunch of stuff from ZERO, Mystery and $lave in again including the Children of Bodom deck in two sizes, we also have some new stuff including the latest Pete Eldridge deck and the Zero single skull deck in an 8"! As well as the new Duraslick decks, all that stuff will be online from tomorrow.
We are off to film for the Reskue Remix at Kings.

Zero Decks

The aftershock of how good the Fallen video is seems to have come through, cos we have sold more Zero boards than usual recently, which is good, all Black boards (Zero, Mystery and $lave) are real nice, my last few boards have been Zero or $lave and they have recently introduced new Duraslick decks.
Slicks were popular for a couple of years in the mid nineties, they basically had a sheet of plastic glued on the bottom of the deck and it kept slides long and consistent, supposedly they were stronger but they lost pop really quickly and got a dull thud instead of a nice pop when you hit your tail, but Jamie Thomas team have done a bit of research and come back with the slick idea with a much thinner sheet bonded to the deck that keeps the decks pop and adds strength, the decks will retail at £59.99 and if they last one sixth longer than a normal board then you are spending the same as a regular pro board and if they last longer than that then you are saving money! And with christmas coming up now might be the time to ask for one! We will have some in the next week or so.

A couple of clips

There are a few new clips of Drehobl and chums up at Thrasher and this weekends Battle at the Berrics are up too, i'm currently two for six in the comp! pretty rubbish!

We tried to go to Eastleigh bowl to get a few last minute lines of Tibs for the video last night, it was absolutely freezing for me filming, but Tibs ended up in a tee trying to get his line, so the moral is ermmm skate and you get warm?! You need to keep skating when its cold, don't let the wheather get you down! As long as its not raining get out there!

Skater Of The Year

Last Saturday Tibs came in and asked who I thought Thrasher Skater Of The Year was gonna be, I said Silas Baxter Neal, and lets just say it was a better guess than my Battle at the Berrics so far! Here is a little vid of Silas, the newest ATV to get the Thrasher award. A few people on forums and stuff have already been unsure if he deserves it, but how many other people have you seen do alley oop frontside flip wallrides? Silas is sick.

New Nomis!

We finally have the winter Nomis range in, including the first ever heated hoodie, I did give a heads up on this a few weeks ago and if you want one it is worth being quick as I don't think we can get any more! All the Nomis tees are made with a small percentage of spandex so they are a little stretchy with a nice soft feel but keep their shape really well.
Also there is a new trailer for the Blind Video over on their website, with Morgan Smith who also rides for Nomis!

Mystery promo!

There is a new Mystery promo up on their site, its really good too, and a lot longer than I was expecting! And a few guys that shop in Reskue helped get it made too, it was the guys that buy Mystery boards! If you buy companies boards then some of the money goes back to the company to pay the pro's, pay for trips, pay for filmers, pay for web space! Everything needs paying for and its only because of skaters buying the boards they can do it, its obvious really, but remember that when you buy a cheap board from companies that have no team, in a shop that isn't a true skate shop then you aren't supporting skateboarding, so you know where the extra cost is going on a pro board and if you like a certain skaters board then get it! If we don't have it we can always try and order it too!

Affiliate

Here is a little video of Affiliate skateboards, Neen Williams is pretty sick.
Affiliate Skateboard Company Team Edit 2

Dennis Busenitz...

... is sick, here is some footage of him on a mini and here is some footage from the recent Make a Wish jam, take a look at the other footage too, and remember that is Reals throwaway stuff! The actual vid is gonna be ridiculous! It should be out next year, couple that with the Workshop and Flip vids and 09 looks like its gonna be a good year for skateboarding!

Also a few people have asked if we are doing the "Something for the weekend" comp again, and yes we are, the plan is to do it every spring and then a park comp in the summer, we didn't have our own park comp this year cos we supported FOUR other comps in the city but if you have a preference as to where we should do it next year let us know! We should also have a few demos and a bowl comp at Eastleigh too.

Epicly Mike Mo!

So good its ridiculous!

Mikey Chin...

Was a kid who used to be on Adrenalin skateboards back in the day, they had a rad team and Mikey looked like he always had potential, then this video pops up years later of him at Burnside doing loads of good stuff, here is a vid of some other stuff too, none of it has anything to do with the shop, I just thought it was rad!

New Team Profiles

Take a look at our website by having a clicky on the right as we have got new profiles for the latest guys to be sponsored by Reskue, Josh Clark, Darren Tate and Joe Paget.
We were also finishing off some filming for the Reskue remix video last night which should be out in a few weeks ready for your Christmas list, and it should only be a fiver too.

Also here is a little trailer for the next Consolidted vid:

Dan Murphy...

...is the next person from Black Box to have ten tricks.

New Plan B

We have a couple of new Plan B decks up on the site, take a look HERE, and get your answers in for the Berrics contest too!

Battle at the Berrics!

Anyone that actually knows anything about skating should definately enter this! Some of the games are seriously close to call, and there is always upsets in games of skate too! And to make it even more interesting if you send us a print screen of your choices and you are the closest then you win a reskue hood, hows that sound? Andy@Reskue.co.uk DO IT! DO IT NOW! And don't forget your name, dumbass.

Obama

So Obama is the new US president, you may not think this effects you much so to bring it to a yoof level here he is with the other candidate.

Hello

Apologies there haven't been any updates in a few days, but the Plan B and Globe promos were more than enough for a while i'd say! Here is a bit of footage shot by Taters of some of his Isle of Wight friends on a trip to Revolutionz.

I'm putting together a remix video of all the Reskue team and if everyone gives me the footage like they said I should have it done and ready to sell in about 3 weeks, there will be full sections from: Marc Churchill, Greg Nowik and Jed Cullen, Mark Tidbury, Andy MacIntosh, Josh Clark, Curt Jarman, Darren Tate and Joe Paget.
It won't be all new footage but rather a remix of all offcuts, unused footage, web edits and old video parts we have, trim it all down and everyone should have a good section, with a bit of new footage too, we even street skated last night! Check the Reyno!

And here is a photo of Tibs doing a frontside grind into the deep end at Eastliegh bowl, if you have been there you know this is gnar, if you haven't, this is gnar.

Sweet!

I have some good links for you today, first up the latest United By Fate from Globe. AND the new promo from Plan B! (click the multicoloured thing on the left)
A few years back you would never get this much footage for free, so it is worth supporting these companies so they can keep making videos!

Ok I hadn't actually watched them before I posted those links, but having just watched the Plan B one i'm kinda shocked, the skating is so good and it actually really made me want to go skating, maybe because of the lack of Robbie Williams! While a lot of people think Shecklers a douch his skating is undeniably good, his kickflip is double head height! the Danny Way footage is stupid and the Colin Mckay footage reminded me just how good he is, and this was all footage they aren't keeping for the actual video, only two years to wait!

James Hardy in HD

Here are some tricks of James Hardy, the HD looks awesome and i just happen to be bidding on a HD camera right now, so look out for HD footage of the Reskue team soon!

Manny Mania!

HERE is some footage from the finals of this years Manny Mania.

Fun times!

So it is half term and younger types can skate as much as they want, but yesterday I still get told "Its cold" "There is nowhere to go".
There are 10+ skateparks in the Southampton area and there are spots for street skating, you just have to look! Scouting for spots with your mates can be half the fun!
So in the spirit of making do with what you have todays vid is the Cliche Gypsy Tour, the intro pretty much explains the whole thing so take a look.
Oh and at least its not raining, in fact its really sunny, so watch this with your Coco Pops and go skating!

Rannycakes!

I have been looking at THIS today.
If you don't know Babycakes is a "clothing" company, (they don't actually seem to have any custom designed clothing just designs printed on tees) which for some reason loads of people have got into and the guy who owns it, according to rumour, is now a millionaire!
Here are some prize quotes from them/him:
"Babycakes was spawned by an orgy of glitter, flashing lights, icecream and electro pop." "All the employee’s, models and photographers at babycakes have amazing hair and perfect bone structure" "Babycakes has become its own kingdom, a land where popsicles fall from rainbows and people dance in submarines that float in outer space. What began as Paul’s bedroom project, his own personal escape from the mundane has now become a place for kids world wide to sparkle."
Clearly it is all highly original and not just a result of the emo/electro thing 14yr old girls seem to be into.
HOWEVER if this is where the money is I have decided to expand into a "clothing" line, using Reskue lunchtime lurker Ranny as the face (he has the best bone structure and currently works in Lush, so smells nice for the ladies)) so I am pleased to announce "Rannycakes" coming soon in the worst possible colours imaginable!

The Final Flare

If you didn't know yet Lakai are releasing a boxset with 2 regular DVD's and a BluRay disk of Fully Flared soon, they are very strictly limited numbers and are actually being made to order, so if you want one it would be a good idea to pre order one now! It is coming out at the beginning of December so if you want one e mail me andy@reskue.co.uk and let me know, or just ask instore.
Here is a trailer for it to give you some idea of whats on there.

New Duffs

We have a few new Duffs online for you including the classic Gambler in a few different colours. Click HERE to have a look.
Also the UK Duffs team have been getting a load of coverage recently, here is a video of some of the team.

Girl Downtown showdown

Not as interesting as the Creature obstacle in my opinion, but here is some footage.

Creature stupidity!

If you don't know what the Downtown Showdown is basically about four companies make an obstacle to skate and they hold a jam style comp on each one, the Globe rep told me the other day about Jake Duncombes ridiculous transfer, imagine airing blind from something 8 feet away into a bank steeper than the thing at Kings Park?! Stupid!

I'll post the rest of them too.

5Boro - Danny Falla

I probably go on about this company too much, but I don't care, 5Boro are sick.
I love the east coast style of skating, the spots are more interesting so the skaters have to be more creative. Danny Falla from 5Boro has been coming up for a few years and is now turning pro, check out this little promo vid for him and see why he very much deserves to go pro! I hate to say I told you so, but I did.

5Boro has pretty much come up by word of mouth and a relentless demo schedule (they do demos almost every week) they have only recently started doing print adverts so it is understandable if you haven't heard of them, but the boards are sick, really nice shapes and poppy wood and the whole team are rippers.

New Vans!

Hello, there area few new Vans in to tide you over until our winter delivery, including the Shambles, Rowleys most recent pro shoe in a ltd edition Kurt Hayashi colourway, a Black Label La Cripta Dos shoe, and the classic AV Sk8-Low in Black/Snake.
All three are the classic waffle sole, which if you haven't tried skating in, you should, they are super grippy which is why so many gnarly guys wear em, when they want to know their board is definately under their feet!
check them out HERE.
There are also some New Eras and Wallets too.

Matix MK Demo

Thanks to Taters here is some footage from yesterdays Matix demo at Milton Keynes.

Ben Gore on Stereo.

We haven't had much from Stereo for a while but we are getting a whole bunch from them soon, along with Innes winter range, and Rebel 8 and Diamond too. All these companies are distributed in England by a skater owned distro and they are all skater owned companies so they deserve your support, here is a little vid welcoming Ben Gore to the Stereo team which always seem to find stylish well rounded skaters. The first new full length Stereo video is out soonish too!

J Rog and P Rod

sk8site.com isn't a website I frequent a lot, it is J Rogers, P Rod and TKs website, but there is some footage here of them and its undeniably good, Rogers seems to have lost his overly gangster kiddy steez and is just solid, and the front blunt to boardslide is pretty creative too!
P rod drops some pretty serious hammers too.

Footy!

Beer and fights and stuff! I guess footy isn't quite the same in France and Lucas Puig shows us his skills here. We will have the Lucas Puig pro shoe in the spring.

Nike Footage.

HERE is a bit of footage from Nike SB in Europe, Justin Brocks transfer is sick.

Undercarriages and budget decks!

It seems that people prefer the idea of getting an undercarriage and a deck when getting a complete set-up, as it makes it easier to see the price, and saves you a bit of cash! So we are now doing undercarriages.
They are only available when you buy a deck, so you just choose your deck and an undercarriage and you are ready to roll!
currently instore only, but online soon!
Click to take a look at the deals:

We also have a Halloween special on the Blackmarket "Undead" decks, normally £29.99 they are £25 with grip! in three different sizes, instore only at the moment i'm afraid though web shoppers!
Combine one of the new budget undercarriages with a £25 Blackmarket deck and you have a complete set-up for £55!

Real Footage

Real skateboards are sick, their team always has awesome skaters that appear from nowhere and kill it, and there is more and more offcut footage from the upcoming Real vid appearing and its really good, so the kept footage must be amazing, check out some more offcuts HERE.

Too gribley for Dan Lilley

HERE is a link to a little vid of a couple of the $lave team at Woodward, look out for the 360 fish, oof! The $lave team is sick, and has one of my favourite skaters Jon Allie, they are also only available in independent shops, so we are the only shop in Southampton that stocks them! combine that with knowing the wood is the same as Zero/Mystery and you have a pretty banging company! Check them out HERE
