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."

As drawn by City Surf Phil, hands up who thinks this should be a T shirt, I am super excited at the News that Welsh artist Pete Fowler will be doing a design, I think Pete owns Mosterism, support your Welsh brands.

Globe & G-Shock Colaboration, very exclusive.

|
Globe has joined forces with the tough, tech & trendsetting company, G-Shock. G-Shock like Globe is a cutting edge & long standing brand, & together they have created a new limited edition collection, which features the DW5600GLB-7 watch in a classic white body with a white face with a contrasting black screen and gold detail, complemented by a high top shoe (G-Shock Destroyer) and fitted black cap. I am pleased to say that FREESTYLE and FREESTYLESKATESTORE.COM are
to be included in the spring 2010 Casio and Globe collaboration release which is exclusive to a limited cross section of elite specialists across the planet.
The hard facts are that if you feel you need these products in your life you need to keep posted because I will have 1 of each size G-Shock Destroyer UK6 to 13, and only 1 watch which I understand makes it a very collectable piece in deed. Stay posted fashionistas!

Welsh invasion of Hereford Skatepark.

|
Hereford is only 45 mins away from Newport, you wouldn't want to walk it but even if you did you wouldn't be disappointed, Hereford skatepark is amazing, when it was just faze 1 I couldn't believe how good it was and now faze 2 is completed and the dust has settled it is amazing, the bowl as pictured below did claim Freestyle team rider Lee Dainton's arm but he still comes back for more, (picture below). There were more skaters from South wales than locals and we were all vibing well, after a fairly negative week, it was good to be surrounded by friends. Thanks everyone.

Cwmbran Skate Comp' from 1999!

|
Those were simpler times, I was so amped when Lt Meat sent me this video, look at the talent and look at how happy we all are, Lee Dainton, Gabby, Phil Hacket, Bob, Maggots, North, Matt Davis. All filmed by Lt Meat. Up until ten years ago a hand full of local skateboarders used to meet up in Cwmbran town centre once a year for a traditional street skateboarding competition. The only prize up for grabs was respect from your peers and pride at being the best for a day (and probably a six pack of beer or two). I think this is footage was from the last proper Cwmbran comp we had. The Council then helpfully covered the place with blind bumps and concreted benches in front of the hip and the steps. Thanks Council, Thouncil.

Lt Meat Documents his trip to London where he tries to rescue some Newport imegrants.
