Skateboarding Tricks
Tweet I think the only way to get better is to push yourself by trying new things. Sometimes when I skate, I don’t really know what tricks to try next. I’ll think of something, or see someone doing a trick, but when I try it it turns out to be way harder than I was [...]
Blog: From Behind The World Snowboard Guide
Tweet I’ve been a reader of the wsg for a good few years now, and more recently, I’ve written a few reviews of my own, covering some UK slopes. In doing so, I’ve been dealing with Steve Dowle, the wsg’s head guy. Apart from coordinating effort for each review, it’s been good keeping in touch [...]
New Skateboard Setup: Pictures
Tweet This is the new setup: Chocolate deck, 8″ Venture trucks, wide Spitfire wheels, 57mm Bones Reds bearings Last night was the weekly Redcar session, which was my first opportunity to try it out.

Notch Up A Couple More Skate Sessions…
Tweet Saturday morning was just a quickie I wanted some fresh air and decided it would be an opportunity to try filming some frontside boardslides. I don’t have a tripod yet, but it’s still possible to get by solo if you’re willing to put up with limited angles and flexibility! I wasn’t really feeling it, [...]
Late Season Powder
Tweet It’s hard going when you’re at work and friends are sending you photos of awesome powder! Check out these bluebird shots from the Jason and crew at Snowmotions – photos taken by Steve Dowle from the World Snowboard Guide! There’s a small chance that I still may be able to make a late season [...]
