MEGA BLOG ATTACK!

The slackness in updates has been appalling lately, apologies!
I have been updating our Facebook on the regular, as well as our Twitter.
Here are all the updates I have posted, plus a few more for good measure!

First of all Kurt Winter has a ten tricks:

More kurt-winter Skateboarding >>


Here is an extra one with Shaun Currie too:

More 10-tricks Skateboarding >>


Then Jimmy Carlin had a sick flatground section over at Black Box, Curt can bust a few of these tricks but you'll have to wait for 6:57.

Then Geoff Rowley had a sick First Try Fridays over at the Berrics.

Then there was a really, really, good skate and create. Basically a few different teams have the chance to create whatever they like in a warehouse over a certain time period and make an edit, Etnies won, basically just with Malto alone! That kid is killing it, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if a Skater Of The Year trophy finds its way into his hands soon!
A lot of people were saying they liked the D.C. one but I think the DVS and Etnies ones were the bangers, Circa was pretty rad too tho.

Then I put up a vid of the almosts from the Wallenberg comp, the straight nollie would have been sick!

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

Then to go with this vid I posted one of Kevin Romar, who was close to blowing minds with this ridiculous back 3 nollie down Wallenberg. I still have heard kids saying they would give the stairs a go so let me re-iterate: they are 22ft long! That is huge!

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

Then I posted this old vid of one of my favourite personalities in skating, Butteryass Donovan! The reason for the post was we were selling Grape soda, but I sold a crate in 48hrs! More coming soon!


Then Nick Mclouth got recruited into the Berrics, the level of skating is sick, and Nick is another person on the ever growing Stereo team!

Then I posted this vid of the Flip team skating some parks, I don't really need to say they kill it, if you don't know how good the Flip team is there really is no hope for you!

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

Then we got the new Jak Pietryga pro model in, so here is a few vids of him:

Here is Jaks 360 flip record:

More hold Skateboarding >>


Then more recently there was a comp at the Crossroads retail show at Black Box, if you are retarded then I will need to tell you that a retail show basically consists of a bunch of stands from different companies, showing future products to shop owners to pre order. There used to be a huge show called ASR but it was basically run by idiots and they charged a whole bunch of money for stands, so Jamie Thomas has opened up the Black Box warehouse for his own trade show. This means that Jamie is allowing other companies to get sales, at his own warehouse! Jamie is really supporting skateboarding by doing this, and on the last day they all come together and have a big jam and best trick comp, here is the footage of the comp:

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

And thats pretty much it! I hope you haven't given up on the blog! We'll have a bunch of important announcements soon so stay tuned to Reskue!

Here is an extra bonus video for you:


Brad Cromer is sick, awesome style and good choice in tricks.

In fact while we are thinking of Krooked, here is the latest catalogue from Deluxe, it has a whole bunch of stuff, including vids, photos, and games! We'll have a bunch of Real, Anti Hero, Krooked and Spitfire stuff soon. Looking at the Real team has got me anticipating the Real vid even more! They have some of the best ams in skateboarding, and a sick pro team too, Torgy, Brock, Chima, James Hardy, all absolutely slay stuff on a skateboard! And they are all as core and down to earth as you can get, most of the Real team would much rather do a demo for some kids inspiring them to keep skating, than enter big corporate comps for jocks to watch on MTV.

Some video announcements are coming tomorrow!

Wakefield comp, J.B. ten tricks, Soton comps

Reskue squad members Marc Churchill and Greg Nowik took a trip up to the comp at Wakefield recently, if you didn't know Marc designed the park and there are some really interesting lines there!
Have a peek at this vid for some footage of the days events, as usual Marc and Greg are killing it!

More concrete-carnival Skateboarding >>

Marc and I went up to Eastleigh bowl the other day to film a Kingpin ten tricks, you'll have to wait to see that but here is a recent one of J.B. Gillet, I didn't film this one!


More jb-gillet Skateboarding >>


I also outputted the Reskue vid last night! That doesn't mean its finished, I still have to output all the extras, (there is over an hours worth) including all the best Something For The Weekend vids, all the episodes of The Adventures Of Joe Paget (There is four so far, with an exclusive one for the vid) and a couple of offcut montages. Then I have to finish the menu and get it made. I'm aware I have said this before, but people kept doing last minute tricks, in fact we have tried to get an ender ender of Paget, with Ranny shooting a possible First Light for Sidewalk, for the last three weeks but just keep getting kicked out!
Paggers is just gonna have to keep the bangers for 6:57, which Crawf was nice enough to give me a preview of the other day, and it is looking ridiculous, the skating is rad and all the filming and editing is as good as you'd expect from the Crawf!

I have heard from a few people that there was some questionable judging at the Shirley comp, unfortunately as I have to be in the shop I can't get out to judge, and its only cos Matt is a nice guy that he has done the commentary and judging for the Merryoak ones, congratulations to the guys that did win some stuff, hope you are rocking the Reskue tee with pride!

Don't forget that is the third comp this summer we have supported, combining this with the SFTW comp around Easter and the Winch comp and that is a lot of stuff I have given away for you guys, so don't be too annoyed if you don't win something every time! There are still plans to do a guerilla comp down at Mayflower with a bit of help from the Rubicon boys and that will be focussed on fun rather than set times and stuff, and there is talk of a comp down at Eastliegh bowl too, anyone would think skateboarding is popular! in the mean time enjoy the sun!

We have had support for all these comps from Bones, Independent, Etnies, Vans, Duffs $lave, Zero, Mystery and Fallen, So if you want to show some support in return then hook yourself up!

Loads of stuff! Flip, Stereo, PJ, DMC Tee Competition!

Been a bit slack on the posts again, sorry! But a bunch of cool stuff has been happening, first of all the legend that is Don Brider (He prints all of our shop tees and stickers) recently got off the phone to the head honcho of Flip, who told him that the Flip vid is premiering in the U.S. on the 16th September, then in England a week later, so around the 23rd!
I go on about this video all the time, but Flip seriously have one of the best teams out there, the ability for them to pick up kids that go on to be top pros is amazing, just look at Bastiens part from 7 years ago and you'll see, flip front boards on 16 stair rails (3:36)that are unmatched today.

Luans part is gonna be ridiculous, that kid is so so good!
Combine this with the all out attack of Geoff Rowley, the straight concrete gnar of Rune Glifberg, a full part from the late Shane Cross and you must see this is gonna be one of the best videos ever!

All the music is being made by Baron, who is apparently big on the DJ scene, what I know about DJs you could write on a stamp, but there is a pretty good insight into the music over on the Flip site HERE and also some vids about it HERE

As well as all the Flip love we have reintroduced Stereo at Reskue, and just as I would have hoped sold the Benny board straight away! We still have a bunch of Stereo decks, and they are good prices too, with the logo decks being only £44.99!
Josiah Gatlyn has a welcome clip over on the Stereo Site, and its just as good as you would expect.

And this morning a Battle Commander from PJ Ladd went up! It starts out really well, but kinda standard, hardflip back tails Stevie was rockin years ago, but then it builds up into some ridiculous stuff - Nollie tre Nose Manny is sick. PJ Kills it, and as always we have some Plan B decks instore so show them some love if your feeling PJs part!

And the last thing is that we finally have the Reskue DMC tees! Available in three colours, the original black and red, a blue with orange print, and a purple with yellow print. The two coloured shirts are meant to be based on something in particular, but nobody seems to have noticed, so the first person to e-mail me where the colours are from gets a free tee! And I know who I have told so you guys can't enter! E mail Andy@Reskue.co.uk - and remember your name!

Here is a pic to give you an idea of the colours:


There is meant to be a comp up at the Shirley Warren park tomorrow, but the weather is looking pretty whack at the moment, hopefully it'll be ok! We are donating prizes for the comp (I know what your thinking "Haven't they donated prizes to three comps already this summer?" yes, yes we have!) so if you are after one of the new tees and have no cash then maybe you should get down there and try and win one!

Dew Tour

These big budget comps are pretty lame, but cash seems to bring out some pretty bangin moves, Decenzo kills it in this:

SLACK! Kinda!

So I have been slacking on updates again lately, but not on our Facebook, so maybe you should befriend us on there!

We have been really busy getting the new Reskue tees sorted, I Tie Dyed a whole bunch of tees last night, which now need washing and printing so should be ready mid next week, the DMC tees should be here Tuesday as well.

If you have seen the new Sidewalk you will have seen the ridiculous cover of new blood Pablo Aresu, here is a little welcome clip from the Harmony.

More pablo-aresu Skateboarding >>


Also in Sidewalk is a Jak Tonge First Light, Jak is actually sponsored by Bored in Southsea, but they are close to us so we are stoked for him, also Ranny shot the photo of his sequence which is pretty sick! We have been trying to get some photos of Paget potentially for Sidewalk but security guards don't seem as eager to help young Paggers out!

We are also now selling energy drinks for the summer, and some RCTs! Watch this vid to see what I mean:

Merryoak Comp

Here are a few photos by Mr David Ransom of the recent comp at Merryoak.

Safe

Vox trip, Twitter

Ok Reskue has taken the plunge and we are now on Twitter, get updates from us faster by following us! http://twitter.com/ReskueSkateShop
Lots of news soon!

10 tricks 2

I'm liking this little series, filmed by Hold Tight Henry and injecting a few moves every monday, its gotta be good!

JB Gillet is coming soon, that should be rad!
The new Reskue tees will be here this week, and we have just had a few copies of the Nike SB Debacle Blu Ray - The first ever full HD skate video! I'm trying to think of the best way to give these bad boys away, i'll keep you posted!
Oh and if you liked the vid of Alex Perelson winning Maloof and doing the 900 first try, then you'll be as pleased as me to know that he skates for Real! Real vid is gonna be SICK!
There is also a ten tricks from Chad Bartie over at Black Box, booming fs ollie!
There is also a new Slave trailer, thats ermmm interesting!

Josiah Gatlyn

Has been recruited over at the Berrics! The whole section is sick, but some people have been hating on his style on the forums, I think his Tres look sick personally, and must feel good when you do them!
Also there is a new Rat Signal from the guys at Slam City up, including DGK soldier Karim with a mega pop shuv over a bench!
As well as this we have some sick new merch coming soon, including these bad boys:

Obviously all the colours are gonna be different, but there are a bunch of different colours and some will be pretty dark and some will be pure hippy!
A whole new design will be with us next week as well, and the DMC tees are being printed and should be here next week too! Reskue tees are bad ass!

Bowl Shralp!

Hope you guys are getting excited about the comps!
Here is a vid of some ridiculous bowl riding, including Christian Hosoi rockin it!

If you guys didn't know Grant Taylor is now pro too! The first boards from him are coming soon!

"I didn't know anything about it!"

Is a sentance I have been hearing a lot recently! I try and let everyone know about stuff, I tell all the skaters that come in store, post stuff on here, and on Facebook, and on Myspace, but I guess I need some help in letting people know about stuff! So tell as many people as you can about all these events! Put it on your facebook status, your Twitter, Your Myspace! Or use that whole in your face to produce sound and tell other people!:

SATURDAY 1ST AUGUST - K2 comp @ HOGLANDS 12pm

I was wondering why they had actually painted the park for once! There are two categories, under and over 16's I believe. We are hooking them up with prizes and have people judging so it should be OK.

TUESDAY 4TH AUGUST - Skate Comp @ VERACITY 1pm

After the last comp, which was pretty much run by the Reskue Squad and Matt Reynolds (Thanks Matt) there is gonna be another one, instead of trying to fit in BMX and Inline too it is just a skate comp so it should be pretty rad.

Both these comps aren't put on by Reskue, we are just hooking up prizes and providing Judges.
Some people might say that these aren't true skate comps as they aren't fully run by skaters, but if we didn't help out they would go ahead anyway, with judges that don't skate and whack prizes!
Also these are the events that show the council and general public how popular skating is, if hundreds of kids turn up then it will only help the idea of having a new skate park that is actually good, so show some support!

I appreciate that some people might not want to enter this kind of thing, and that comps should be based on fun rather than set runs and who is "Better" etc.

That is why even before these comps were announced I was chatting to Chris Pulman, who is the rep for Fallen, about putting on a junk jam down in Mayflower.
We have a pretty sick block and will make a little kicker and some other junk to skate, take that down there with a PA and have a fun day with some Fallen prizes, maybe a game of skate, bring a BBQ along, best trick on the block kinda deal, just a lot more loosely organised and less serious, expect a lot more abuse, drinking, songs with naughty words, Bullying, and damn good skateboarding! Most of the Reskue Squad should be there too, so you can see Curtis annihilate the block for real! This isn't an official comp, so don't expect to bring your family down for a day out, its just a bunch of skaters getting together to have some fun! (Remember that stuff)

Dates for this haven't been decided yet but it'll be mid/late August!

Stay Safe kids!

Also we got a bunch of Science decks in today, they are really nice shapes and graphics and Science are definately legit, so maybe have a look next time your in.

Short and Sweet

Every Monday Kingpin are gonna have a new feature, ten tricks at one spot, the first one is this, Jeremie Daclin on a mini, pretty inventive moves too!
We had a plan to do this sort of thing starting with a five on five feature, but Joe "Tumnus" Paget snapped his board and it got put on hold, but taters is back soon and then you'll have a lot more regular footage from the Reskue squad.
Oh and the Reskue DVD will be out soon too!

In pretty cool news I have sold out of the HTL DVD, I guess thats not good for the people who want one but it shows that you guys are actually still up for supporting independent video projects and buying the DVD! I have ordered another batch and they'll be here soon, so show some support and come and pick up a copy if you haven't already, its seriously bangin!

YOUGOTTOGETTHAT!

My young friend Mike Netley is starting a BMX mag called Case, check it out HERE. Mike has also started skating recently and seems pretty psyched on a lot of the stuff i've put up on the blog, but he sent me a link recently to this vid of Dan Murphy over at Transworld:

In the vid Dan talks about a vid coming through from Cacka, and it looks pretty sick, sections from Dan, Bobby Worrest and Gilbert Crockett to name a few! they have a trailer and site up HERE. take a look!

Hold Tight!

The Hold Tight London DVD arrived yesterday and has already been going pretty well, if you have a fiver kicking about I suggest you come in and get one!
All the filming is bangin, and it is when you have independent releases like this that are filmed and edited really well, that things like the Blind video can be a bit underwhelming. Hold Tight Henry definately deserves to be a full time skate filmer/editor, here is a bit more of his work from the recent King Of Wood Comp, Adrien Bulard (The curly haired dude who does the ridiculous 360 shuv) is clearly amazing.


In shop news I have moved a bunch of stuff around and the shop is looking bangin, we are gonna be getting a bunch of new stuff soon, I know I keep saying that but its true!

We should have the Berrics tees in the next day or two along with a whole bunch of Deathwish boards (4 Antwuan decks!) SB's in a few weeks, Famous and Wild Ones clothing, new IPath shoes, which are looking rad and finally the Fallen footwear!

Things are looking pretty sweet for Reskue at the moment, the Tattoo Studio upstairs is going well, the 6:57 vid is gonna show just how sick some of Southamptons skaters are, and we have a whole bunch of comps and jams coming up too! I'll announce all of that tomorrow though because I know skaters have short attentions spa

Hold Tight London

The HTL DVD is coming in on Tuesday!
Independent skate videos are few and far between these days as you basically make no money at all from them, so its cool that the HTL crew have put out a DVD thats only a fiver, and was made simply for the love of skateboarding.
I have already seen the DVD as Paget and Crawford went to the premier and got a copy, and it definately lives up to the hype, Tanner and Witherup definately skate on a pro level, and do some seriously bangin tricks with steez.
The vid is available to pre order from the Reskue site now and we'll send it out as soon as we get it, so show some support! Also after you have watched the DVD have a look over at the HTL site, and vote on who should win North or South!
Karim is repping South, but Joe Paget ate his Sugar Puffs last time he was in the big smoke so Karim couldn't muster the energy to front shuv up the South Bank 7, otherwise they would definately have taken it! Nice one Paggers!
Talking of bangin tricks with steez we had a sesh over at the NCP last night and Curtis got a few moves.
His part in the 6:57 vid is shaping up to be ridiculously sick.
Paget was too busy going to the cinema to get any bangers, probably stuffing his face with Karims Sugar Puffs all the while.

DOUBLE PITS TO CHESTY!

RAD!
The chesty they just add on so you use more and have to get more and more Axe/Lynx, I have got them beat though, I just do double pits! Screw you Lynx!

New Black Box!

We now have the full collection of the popular Zombie tees, and restock of the decks, as well as new Cole Bold tees and restock of slave decks, also the Zero backpacks are back in too.


Also here are the last few vids from NASS:

Ben Gore

Ben Gore is rad, he was in a BATB game against Apples yesterday.
You should have seen it by now so it doesn't matter if Isay he lost, but even so he has a dope style, and when I got this Stereo catalogue through the cover photo was so rad I thought I would share it with you. The colours are rad and a simple ollie is a timeless trick, they will always look good, A lot of kids focus on learning tricks straight away, but having a banging ollie, and therefore big snaps, can get you eveywhere, just ask Andrew Brophy!

Even more slacking!

Ah i'm letting you guys down again! But again I have been pretty busy, the Black Label premier was pretty sick, thanks to everyone who came down, including a bunch of guys from Surrey which was cool, one of them won the deck in the raffle too so it made it even more worthwhile for them. We will have the Label vid available to buy next week, and for those of you that weren't at the premier it is pretty rad, Chris Troy has a whole bunch of handrail NBD's and Shurikens section doesn't dissapoint, some of the new guys came out of nowhere as well, Peter raffins part is pretty bangin, and i'm always gonna be bias where Jason Adams is involved, loads of wallies and wallrides is always good!
Instore we have had a whole bunch of new decks from Plan B, DGK and The Harmony, including the 8 inchers that is definately the most poular size out there at the moment!
I know a lot of you are at NASS, and the good fellas at Sidewalk have footage up from there already! Here is some of the practise, Raemers is killing it and really deserves a podium place, we'll see if its all Vans riders soon enough I guess!

More Skateboarding >>


More Skateboarding >>

There have also been some pretty sick games over at the Berrics, Gilbert Crocketts steez is sick! But if I need to direct you over there then there really is no hope for you! Having said that I have had a couple of kids ask me lately "Have you ever looked at the Berrics?" you guys must have been under a rock! You guys need to tell your friends to check the reskue blog on the regular for a whole bunch of info on the world of skateboarding, spread the word!

Slacking again!

Sorry kids I have been a bit slack on the updates again! but like I keep saying that only happens when I have been busy! We nearly got a banging photo and ender ender of Joe Paget the other night, and I have been working on actually finishing the DVD, just a couple of weeks now and it will actually be here!
As well as this we have one of my friends bands, Sonic Boom Six, playing an exclusive instore acoustic performance this wednesday at 5.00pm
Then it is the Black Label premier on Friday night, details below.

For a sneak preview of the opening montage of the video click HERE!
I reckon its gonna be bangin! lots of you guys i know are big fans of Shuriken, and this is his first ever board sponsor section!
The Berrics has been really good lately the Volcom United Nations was sick.
As were both of this weekends BATB games! 1 and 2
