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.

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

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
