DC Super Tour - London 1997

Weird to think it's now 10 years ago this tour rolled through London. This was one of the biggest tours since the Bones Brigade riots of the 80s with one of the best teams touching down at the just opened Playstation/Bay66 skatepark. Rick Howard, Mike Carroll, Huf, Rudy, Carl Shipman, Colin McKay...it was well worth the trip up from Southsea for the weekend. In the evening it was a boozy Drum 'n' Bass night DJed by Goldie with free booze. Thank God for Gorm putting us up for the night and driving.

Rick Howard Interview on SBC

Canadian skate mag SBC has a great interview with Rick Howard up on their website, well worth a read.

Rasa Libre 2004

Speaking of Rasa back in the day reminded me of when the team was over for the Rasa art show 'Cosmic Flash' at Cide (also sadly missed). It was a mix of Rasa based Michael Leon artwork and boards with Nate Jones providing entertainment with his guitar. Leon was there, I think Dan Wolfe was and the full pro team too (Reese Forbes, Matt Field & Nate Jones). It was a good night. 2004 was one of the best years for going out and doing things. Anyway, I dug out the photos.

Rasa Libre

I'm pretty sure it'll never be as good as it was back when it was part of DLX, Michael Leon was doing the graphics and Dan Wolfe did the video...but this teaser gives hope. at least it looks like Matt Field is skating again and the ams are decent.

Southwold

Visited my parents in Southwold at the weekend, the place is a small Georgian town on the coast of Suffolk.
