Quite a while back Thunder gave me 10 or so of his tapes to search through for stuff I could use. I ended up finding a wealth of unused footage, and only just got round to making something out of it, so here it is. All filmed around the summer of 2009 I believe, featuring just about all OG goon locals. Next time you see Thunder give him a nudge to get his camera out more often

A Bit Of Out Of Date Trivia
Compiled this ages ago but never published it, way to late for this to be that interesting really but for anyone who knows Wet Sussex well enough, here's a few random facts you may not have known about it...
The first and last tricks filmed for the vid were at the same place. The first was Phil's nosemanual at Worthing park in November 2006. The reason it is in black and white is because Liam forgot to change the exposure when the sun came out. The last trick was Jake Snelling's 360 transfer at the same park a few weeks after the premier.
The last trick filmed before the premier was Finn's cab over the planter, filmed 2 days before the showing. Liam's switch flip at Newman was 3 days before.
The shot in the credits of everyone sitting at Bercy, Paris was at 3am. Everyone missed their train back to London and had to find somewhere to sleep after trying to stay in the train station for as long as possible. Bercy was decided as the safest spot out of all they'd visited on the trip.
Mark's fakie flip at the same spot was at 2am a couple of nights earlier.
Will and Chard weren't working on parts at first, until a discussion the night before the first trailer was released. They agreed then to work on parts if their names were added in.
Finn was originally going to have a guest appearance in Ollie's part, but when he started to get too much usable footage to fit in, it was agreed to work towards a full part.
The statue that Brad Knight jumped off in the credits was in Paris just 3 days into being there. It was 12 feet tall and wound Brad up in hospital at 4 the next morning. He was on crutches for 6 weeks afterwards.
Phil christened the trick he did down the Macba 4 the Hat Trick, and had been claiming it for months beforehand.
For the intro shot of 'Wayoutfilms' being written on the wall, it was found later that the writing wasn't visible enough, and so had to be thickened and reanimated in the edit.
Chard's song was originally used for Phil's part. After scrapping that and 8 or so other rough edits, Phil's song was finally chosen
The van you can see in the background of Finn's last trick was parked at the bottom of the stairs upon arrival. Finn proceeded to climb through a slightly open window and take the handbrake off, while others pushed the van out of the way.
The name for the vid came from a brainstorm whilst sitting in a car. When trying to come up with names based on local places, Will handed Liam a road map and accidentally said 'Here's a map of wet sussex'
The story behind Liam grabbing the voucher in the credits is that Ollie had won three pairs of shoes earlier that day in the Vans GSD jam at the Lagoon, and put one up to whoever could switch flip King Alfred 5 first out of Liam and Dave
Phil's intro was filmed by his name being written into a puddle of barbecue sauce in a bath, water being poured over it, and the footage being reversed.
Will's Friday Ad placement was real, but nobody called to make an offer
There were 2,248 clips captured for use over the course of filming.
At the premier, the film started glitching 5 minutes in. This was because it was playing off a laptop and the file took up half of its 25gb hard drive. Luckily there was a backup DVD version on standby.

Save Bay66 Skatepark
The Westway Development Trust are seeking planning permission to turn the area the skatepark is situated, under the A40, into a garden centre and office space. Their reasoning behind this "The Skatepark does not serve needs of the local youths". How stupid this is and how important this park is to the UK scene is obvious, so have some sense and sign this petition to try and drill some sense into the the cvnts that be.

A Little Drawing Boards
Skating may be furthest from your mind in this weather at the moment, or maybe the opposite, but here's something to get the brain going again. If anyone didn't notice the recent short burst of everybody round here riding the same boards, no it wasn't fracture for once, it was these guys...
Drawing Boards has been growing fast as a company and a team over the last couple of years, and with them especially making an impact round these parts, I had a few words with man at the helm Ad McEvoy to give a little more insight into what's behind it all.
Give us a brief low-down of what Drawing Boards is about
Drawing Boards is about fun, friends, individuality, creativity, sharing and learning .. Basically we are trying to do positive stuff for skateboarding be it getting involved with councils or hooking up open minded skaters and sponsoring events . We try to bring stuff out that is a bit different to the norm and treat the kids good.
In fact it's become abit of an obsesion .. It's in my brain all day everyday .. Not quite sure where I finish and Drawing Boards begins these days haha
What made you want to start a board company?
Me and my boyard Cyberknacks (Si) started making garms for our company "Coping" about 10 years back . After 5 years we'd sold thousands of T'shirts (which was pretty unexpected) . So we had some funds and thought we'd give making decks a go .. After all that was where our passion really was ...Peeps were backing us from what we'd done before which was rad .. Also missed nearly three years of skating from having ops on both my legs so I had a bit of time on my hands haha . It's all just grown from there ..
Who's on the team? What's so special about each of these characters?
Jak Tonge .. Silky moves , the nicest kid ..
Isaac Miller.. Pop for days and humble steeze ..
Jerry Wilson .. Out there with the best style ever ..
Potter .. Potters just Potter .. one of a kind .. Handrail monster ..
Elliot Rowe .. Mannie master .. So out of control yet so in control
You're currently filming for the first video. How's all that going? What can we expect?
Well the dudes above pushing themselves .. We basically want it to be a vid that's not too short and not too long . One which will hype you out before you go skating .. Easy to watch with good music .. Like a good skate vid should be haha .. But of course with the Drawing Boards vibe ..
Give us a story from one of the filming missions?
Have to be being woken up on a golf course in Leeds by an angry grounds keeper .. It went something along the lines of "Get your piece of s**t van out of my drive and get the f**k off my land" haha ...
Where did the name for the Leaky Quiche tour come from?
Your good self making a fuss about buying a quiche which ended up all over peeps shoes decks and the car .. Kept us all pretty amused mind you .. Good tour that .. And while I'm here thanks for the help with the filming man ..
What's Elliott's house like?
Hipster's paradise .. Don't wanna talk about it haha .. Although it has got a pool table now .. That's pretty rad eh ..
There's a heavy basis on artwork, which you do yourself. What Influences your graphics?
I've always been into drawing from a tot .. Our family never had a TV so I use to read a lot of books with pictures in 'em . My older brother use to make up stories that he'd draw as he spoke .. Guess that was my earliest influence .. Growing up skating in the early 90's , artwork was a big part of of it all .. These days there's so much stuff out there, so a lot of thought goes into what we're gonna bring out , if it's been played out what's the point ? For every graphic that's released there's five to ten that usually just sit in the pad , on the hard drive or get painted onto an old deck . The ideas usually get thrown back 'n forth between Si and myself until we come up with the goods .. Then I draw the finished ideas . Ego stifles creativity , we both criticise each other's ideas to come up with something we're both happy with and is different to what everyone else is doing . Being an artist you have the ability to put questions or ideas into peoples heads which is something I try to take on board too .. If I keep babbling on I may have to grow a moustache , move to Shoreditch and buy a fixie .. What's next ? Haha
Some boards past and present, along with the popular Circus colourways
Where are you based?
We are based in Croydon and we sponsor skaters around Surrey as well as Brighton , London , Croydon and Portsmouth
What's your connection to the Brighton scene?
Always been down with the fact that there's so many skaters in Brighton .. When we started selling in Stevie's shop he suggested we hooked someone from the area up .. Isaac was the obvious candidate .. After meeting him properly we decided he was the man for the job .. Now Stevie's shops gone we are down to keep hooking him up ..
Where can we buy your product down here now that Stevie's is gone?
We sell our stuff in Ocean sports next to Goon ..
What's the Aussie connection?
Yep It's pretty mad that we are in Oz .. I went over there a number of years back to meet my estranged family haha . On the way I met a certain young gangster Donny "Fuggin" Fraser who some years later I entrusted with the running of the company Oz sides .. The team is really active over there getting busy doing demos on the East Coast and that .. Dope seeing them get mag coverage too ..
What's coming up in the near future? What do we have to be excited about?
Sponsoring the Crossfire Jam next week with some of the boys repping .. New graphics in the plan too .. Want to try an get an exhibit popping next year ..Along with some lil' edits while we slug on with the vid itself ... Some mini tours ... In fact there should be a fair bit of new stuff but you'll have to tune in to find out ...

R.I.P Another Skateboard Shop
Sorry for the lack of updates, just got my computer back from the hospital where it's been on life support for the last few weeks. Back on it as of now, starting with this...
Always wanted to do an editorial bit on here, despite the fact the cool guys will probably laugh at me in the playground. This seems like a fitting subject.
The age old SOS vs chainstore/online shopping wankfest argument gets brought back to light again whenever a local shop sadly passes away. Older heads get high and mighty while kids look gormlessly at them wondering what the big deal is. Guess explaining it would be a good place to start. I always use the Tesco analogy.
Suppose your Dad owns a local high street butchers; top quality meat from the local farmers, helps shoppers out with deals, orders in anything people ask for specially. Then Tesco sets up shop next door with their big freezer full of processed cow brains and suddenly people go there instead because 'Ooh, it's cheaper, and I can buy my car insurance at the same time'. Not long before boom, Dad's out of a job, along with all the local farmers.
And this is how it works in skateboarding. Try going in Route One and asking if you can tick a deck till next week; to knock a fiver off for some shoes; to give you someones number to show you round the local spots; to give you some old parts to make a setup for you little brother. The list goes on. There's more to a shop than how many Nikes and Antwaun Dixon boards they stock.
Local skateboard culture doesn't get progressed by people being completely passive with it, taking what they want to be the coolest without giving anything back. They're the reason the shops close down, shit parks still get built, members of the public give you so much shit when you skate street. They're the reason the local scene has dwindled so much, the heated sessions have stopped, the familiar faces are getting fewer and fewer and the goon is full of glory hunting posers that use their board as a fashion accessory, if they even have one.
Don't get me wrong, it goes the other way too. There's only so many times you can trek into town to your local shop only to find it closed in the middle of the day (Sorry Stevie but I heard this a depressing amount of times). But a skate shop isn't there to slave to you, it can't support you if you don't support it. And if you do, it will pay you back. I don't see Route One doing much for the scene. They don't need to, they'll get by with their scooter sales and overpriced jeans. And now what. No more Drawing Boards, Witchcraft, no support for the local scene vids, no community. But oh well, the Fracture video was pretty good, they've got a sick team. Oh wait...
So if you want to stop shit like this happening take a minute to think about what skateboarding has given you, stop asking 'When are the lights coming?','Where can I download X new video for free?','When's the Level getting rebuilt?' and think about giving back. 'The new park down the road is crap'. Well were you at the meetings? 'The goon is so boring these days'. Well fuck off somewhere else then. And think about what your money and your actions are doing for the community you are a part of.
Thanks for reading.
Disclaimer: This is not a holier-than-thou rant and I do not see myself as some great example of how to act, far from it. I had a load of thoughts that I thought were worth sharing, and wanted to make people think a bit further into what they do. Also this is not a direct attack on the workers in Route One Brighton, but I'm sure you guys know how it goes down at head office in your company.

Sign this shit and spread it around, when I've got enough I'll send it off to the appropriate people, once I've found out who that is. Additional comments are always helpful, but please keep them sensible and thought out, as otherwise I will just have to delete your signature, so your support will not be counted!

Ollie Ball footage? Really?
Yes you heard right, the one and only OKB has uploaded a new montage. Unfortunately, it's not new footage, but you can't have it all.
4 minutes of random shit filmed over summer 2009, enjoy...

Drawing Boards Tour
As some of you may know I had the privilege of joining the guys from Croydon's Drawing Boards on their 9 day filming mission to get footage for their upcoming full length. Was an amazing experience passing through London, Croydon, Portsmouth, Bristol, Milton Keynes, Brighton and Essex. Plenty of bangers went down that you'll get to see in the vid some time in the future, but until then feast your eyes on this offcuts edit from everything else we filmed.
Featuring Jak Tonge, Isaac Miller, Jerry Wilson, Elliot Rowe, Ad McEvoy, Ranny Ransom and myself.
Check out the site for the latest news and graphics and if you're stoked head down to Stevie's and pick up a fresh new piece of wood

Shore -ummmmmmm!!
As you surely know, Saturday saw the official opening of Shoreham bowl, while the fence to the street course was taken down yesterday as well. We'll do our own edit as soon as, and there's a bunch of photos and vids on the site in the mean time. Get down there and shout at some scooters!
Sunday 9 May 2010
Hmmmmm pt. 2
Still not much new material to post. Apparently Shoreham bowl is already open, and the street section should hopefully be done by next weekend or so. So expect plenty of new footage to be about soon. In the mean time this needs to be seen

Hmmmm...
Not had much to post this last couple weeks. Was due to be heading off to catch a plane to Majorca in about an hour but that's now up in smoke (or volcanic ash). Trying to sort out a spur of the moment minivan trip round England though so hopefully will have a little edit for ya when we get back.
Managed this (again) on Wednesday
Shoreham's coming on with only a few weeks to go. Pretty interesting update on the site. Also if anyone got last weeks Shoreham or Steyning Herald (8th), have a read of the letter I got printed in there answering to some of the close minded Nimbys round here. Or I'll scan it if anyone asks.
And yes, Matt Chard has retired. But it was his birthday yesterday so it balances out.
Next post will have more content

Make Friends With The London Crew
Been a packed Easter Weekend with Sunday bringing the premiere of Blueprint's newest visual offering, so of course we didn't pass up the chance to go and see it.
Headed up on Friday for 2 days of unsuccessful skating, ripped shoes, twisted ankles, willy grinds, grandmas, suggestive sausages, uncooked eggs, shit lines, farts and snoring.
Picked up slightly on Sunday with the jam at South bank up first. Smith took the unsponsored ollie comp as he should have. The stunt in question can be seen in this vid of the jam, along with Liam in there somewhere.

More Skateboarding >>
After all that was off to Leciester Square to suck some industry dick and watch some sick skating. A short review from what I can remember -
Shier's footage was the best he's put out in a fair while
Marty didn't have enough footage but what he did get was golden
Kevin Coakley had some gnarly slams and some even gnarlier makes
Neil Smith should've had curtains. Fucking gnarboots
Baines had last part. If you're a fan you definitely won't be disappointed
Everyone else had solid parts, though I think they could've afforded to be a little less selective
Editing was a lot simpler / less arty, which will please some of you. LAF seemed better edited in my opinion
http://video.mpora.com/watch/lEXHsEc9f
After party was nuts. Gayed out hard with people we recognised and generally had a riot. Nearly concluded with a bare knuckle box between Liam and Olly Todd.
Smith had a liiiiitle too much to drink...
All in all a great time, topped off by getting to see the Blueprint team in action at Emsworth skatepark on Tuesday. Magee was around filming so some footage should pop up on here in the near future
Bonus shots -
