Really does. The millennium seems ages ago but 2007 feels really recent. The only decks I hang are either ones I’ve painted myself or one’s kept for sentimental reasons

Sick! Cheers man
Seems like a pretty cool idea. Maybe more should do that?
"Toward the end of 2018, NYC based Pro Skateboarder Yaje Popson dropped a note to Hyperdub saying how much Burial’s Untrue album meant to him explaining it had got me through the best and worst times of my life.
In the note, he asked if it was possible to collaborate on his first skateboard deck design and said that, 'music is such an important aspect in skateboarding culture, practically all the music we listen comes from the videos we watch. ’
‘The album’s city soundscape resonates, because as a skater I am constantly engulfed in the streets of the metropolis, looking for skate spots amongst the rat race of Gotham “on the other side of the page” Sometimes in the most sketchy of neighborhoods or the darkest of alleyways we find ourselves but skateboarding gives us this reason to explore and appreciate the grittiness of city life.’
It can be rare for something real and genuine and chilled to happen, but the authenticity, passion and sincerity of Yaje’s note & resonated with Burial. They both do what they do straight from the heart. It’s resulted in a beautiful low key skateboard design. This board has been developed through genuine collaboration, with ideas being passed back and forth between Alien Workshop’s designer Joe Castrucci and Burial . We’re all really happy with how this has come out and hope you like it too."

I wonder what the Primitive x Dragonball Z press release looked like.
Or the Kikkoman one?! (although I do love the sauces!)

Really stoked on this, the insta post explains it all but for you guys:
The first time I went round Don Brider’s house, must have been around 1996/7, he had this rad picture of Jon Cattle on the wall doing this steezy Front Feeble, it was from R.A.D in 1992, I brought up the photo and he said the rails were from an old Winchester skatepark, they then lived in Northam in Southampton for a few years and when that got closed down they got taken to Don’s garden…
I’ve seen the rails every time I’ve gone round Don’s house in the last 25 years, and we’d always talk about putting them somewhere, well finally this Sunday a mate managed to borrow a van and we got them down to our DIY spot and anchored them in to the floor, they’re really, really rusty, need a angle grinder taken to them but I managed to get a tiny Crook to grind.
I’ll get them cleaned up and have some footage soon hopefully, but feels like a bit of UK/South coast skate history having these rails at our spot!

Sick! Wasn’t there a spine ramp at the original location? Seem to remember the article was a comp of some sort from there?
Fuck, I remember that photo. Is it from September Rad, black and white cover? That was my first rad! Actually it wasn’t, a friend gave me that one and my first I bought was the Ed T fakie heelflip over spine.
Yeah. From memory, it was two different sizes ramps.
I just skated these bars more than anything when I went there. Learnt/landed noseslide pop-over and noseslide 50-50 on the lower rail on the ground. Was so much fun.

fucking radness! So good when shit like this happens, I remember the pic well
What happened to that long rail they cut down that Cardiel did? Antihero took it somewhere to do something with it didn’t they?
Pretty sure DLX are holding it at their warehouse. I remember seeing some photos of it.

so rad
They got it out the other day for some reason… Saw a pic of Gerwer just chilling with it outside DLX, but I can’t find the photo.
If anyone has any tips for removing rust let me know… The rail with no legs was good, but the one on legs is so crusty!
Beat me to it! They need to put it somewhere, just as a flat bar, and then have a comp on it!

Reminds me of when Ed T saved the HB park flat bar which ended up at the new vans park (which I think they have since removed?).
Would be sick if defunct / redeveloped street spots could be relocated somewhere else. Imagine if SF council donated hubba hideout to the skaters, rebuilding it at potrero. Or something.
Victoria benches gone now, right? Wasn’t a local business person rumoured to be purchasing one of them, for safe keeping…?
That fell through last I heard
Lucien shut em down so it’s probably right they are removed
Well yeah but the rumoured destination was very Lucien-related.
