fun one on BTO on small obstacles.
the Creager and Frosty mentions made me grin
Interesting article about the state of skating and its current malaise:
Echoes thoughts I’ve had recently about young people’s connections to skating. The reference to the average age of customers doubling is alarming!

Yeah I’m definitely seeing that where I live and my local shop echoes a lot of what’s said in there. Lots of comments re pros actually doing demos/appearances/signings being a needed thing too. Shoe game/money kinda made everyone complacent eh?

You’d have to think YT and instagram too. Why travel when you can stay at home knowing you’re in everyone’s pockets already? Just drop a clip a week, get the engagement to keep corporate sponsors happy and maybe even be able to monetise it too, bonus!

do you know much about Andy Williams? he’s one of those people i saw/ read a bit about, then it went quiet as streetskating took over
He passed away a few years ago.
He was from the same scenes as Wingy, Andy Scott etc. Very, very good at skating. Especially on vert/mini ramp. He used to skate Rehab in Wakefield a lot.
