Apologies for CMOAC but people seemed to enjoy this the last two times.
I picked my favourite 10 videos from Free Skate Mag’s 102 (at date of writing) YouTube uploads and wrote some nonsense about each one.
Big up Arthur for the Spaceman 3 reference too…

Thanks @andy_smoke I was a bit worried that either Dan or Conor would be upset/not find it funny but they did happily. Further confirmation from a stellar human such as yourself is most gratifying.

Repeated [/cmoac] violations from me but some of you might like this article I wrote for Free re Malmo importing LOVE granite and the ongoing redevelopments at Muni in Philadelphia.
Big up all involved.

Pretty funny that Philly threw it all out then did a copy of a copy.

Cole Nowicki’s latest newsletter really well handles Christine Flannigan coming forward about Chris Cole’s abuse and delivers a solid account of skateboarding media’s flaws around such situations and in general.

Good article, eh. I posted it earlier but couldn’t decide where to put it so stuck it in the camera thread - probably makes more sense here though.

has a posted a slew of quotes from, i’m hoping,
Elsewhere: the story of UK skateboarding
- book hype!
- it clearly deserves its own thread

That’s a list from after the first year or so - it’s been four and half years now, and I just never added new ones.
That one might actually have been Simon. I’ll check in a bit.
There’s at least one @anonymity quote on there, and possibly a @Mark line.
