Freestyle Skatestore Official Blog! So I was posting on SHREDWALES.COM alot but I felt I was missing out doing my own thing, I hope to post as regularly as possible as the FREESTYLEKATESTORE.COM team riders are vast and incredibly active in the skateboarding calender, but I will also be posting up all the stoopid things that go along with skateboarding, as I once read on a beer coozie, "Sometimes skateboarding means not skateboarding."

The Sunday Stooges Go Skateboarding Day.

|
Finally I got a trick in this Sunday Stooges, it;s shit and I was drunk, but I will take it anyway, anyways I love how this Sunday Stooges realy showcases how different yet the same the two scenes Cardiff and Newport have. It was fathers day so I only attended half of this Sunday Stooges. Rad stuff from FSTL team riders and Editor and chief Lee Dainton.

No fool like an old school fool!

I was pissing last night, how funny a session went down, I was having so much fun I gave up on the guest list for Hot Water Music, fuck it. Heard it was good though. I totally don't regret it though, had so much sweaty fun with the most OG crowd for a while.

This was my fave trick I nearly landed, well I landed it one footed, which is pretty good for my fat ass.

But Phil was going off, this jump on 50/50 pull in, is redic'.

So anyways, I think this is going to be a regular thing, once every decade at least.

Witchcraft Skateboards still available at FREESTYLESKATESTORE.COM

|
Just got off the phone with French (Richard Sayer) Artist and owner of Witchcraft Hardware and I guess clothing. I am so stoked that my backyard ramp is on the agenda for the Witchcraft Skateboards/Lovenskate Good and Evil Tour in August, I mean I am a bit worried about my dog getting sacrificed because there aren't many virgins in Newport (look out Beanhead haha!). I am fortunate enough to be good friends with all the dudes at Witchcraft Hardware and Lovenskate so I know that it will be a good old time, and plenty of good footage will be available to enjoy afterwards, we will also be hitting up Caldicot Skatepark, Chepstow Skatepark and Newport Hellpark, stay tuned I would love for there to be a good crowd to support two excellent companies.

We still have plenty of Lovenskate and Witchcraft T shirts and the 8.5 and the 8.25 Witchcraft Skateboards in store and on sight FREESTYLESKATESTORE.COM I am sure this wont be the case for long.

This shit means so much to me.

It's tough in the shop, I hope all my customers know how much I appreciate them, supporting your underground scenes and businesses has never been more important, in a time when the big corporates are telling you what's cool and forcing your hand, you don't want that. Be the underground, support it, we don't want to be rich, we want to carry on doing what we love and working hand in hand with you guys.

Nobody supports me harder than my team, and my locals who are probably more important than my team, it's easy when you get given all your shit for free, without my locals, I am homeless.

Check this for repping hard.

THANKS EVERYONE, YOUR THE BEST! AND BY EVERYONE I MEAN YOU!

We will be bringing a selection of T Shirts, Boards, Headware, and hardware. We sponsor Nick Worthinngton from the Dead Swans, Brutality Will Prevail and More Than Life, so our affiliation with this festival is massive and a big thank you to Mike Plainsight for hooking this up.

Habitat launch footwear line to February 2010:

“Dayton, OH (November 19, 2009) – Marking its 10-year anniversary in the
skateboard industry, Habitat Skateboards is pleased to announce the
initial launch of their skateboard footwear line, Habitat Footwear. Since
its inception, Habitat has been committed to pure skateboarding, timeless
design and inspiration from the natural world.

The Footwear
Designed by skateboarders for skateboarding, Habitat Footwear boasts the
core components of comfort, weight and durability to optimize skate
performance. Consisting of six models, the line also infuses Habitat’s
signature design principles --branded colorways, visual balance, and
attention to detail. “After 10 years of building a solid presence in the
hardgoods market, developing a footwear line was a new creative outlet for
Habitat and a natural next step in the progression of the brand,” stated
Joe Castrucci. “Footwear is a great platform for the evolution of
Habitat. Pre-season sales have exceeded our goals and we are excited for
the full product launch early next year,” added Chris Carter.

The Team
Representing the next generation in the ever-evolving Habitat brand,
amateur skateboarders, Guru Khalsa, Marius Syvanen, Austyn Gillette, and
Alex Davis have teamed up to be the faces behind the footwear line.

The Collaboration
Habitat is proud to celebrate and honor acclaimed mid-century wildlife
artist Charley Harper in its footwear launch. Three Charley Harper Artist
Series decks and shoes will be available in the first season which include
classic Harper artwork printed insoles and corresponding exterior fabric
colors.”

These are my personal faves and I am rocking them as we speak, in store now.

I hope that all of the footage that wastaken at that party never sees the light of day. I am such a dick.

I hate American Apparel,

It's just Primark for Hardcore kids who think they are better than that, but I totaly think you should all buy stuff from there so they can keep up their adverts,
