Fuuuuuuuuck. I knew I should have googled before I posted.
Arthur tubb spin off anecdote;
Shortly after the story store promo came out (set to Tony bennet’s ‘the good life’) containing arthur tubb’s tailslide to switch manual at Sheffield’s iconic pigeon 2 step grind, me and some friends did a trip to Sheff and I tried to tailslide it to fakie.
I came out early and to save it went into a switch back 5 oh on the bottom step and walked off the bail.
As I bent over to pick up my board I heard a very high pitched voice singing the chorus of the darkness’ ‘this town ain’t big enough for the both of us’.
I turned and to my horror arthur tubb was standing to the side with a cheeky grin on his face. I was mortified.
Update- magee informs me I got the wrong song on the story promo. Essentially, I am a dimwit

Mate, that is a Sparks song that Justin Hawkins, not The Darkness, covered. FFS.

I think the Justin hawkens spin off band cover version was in the charts at the time, so I’m allowing myself a bit of leeway after my tubb/pressey cock up

That was so good, really enjoyed the soundtrack and edit.
Some nice stuff and a good mix of skating from London based ‘always do what you should do’.
Is always big outside of London? It’s the big clothing hit with the kids here

It’s not really found it’s way north no. Never see it about. The logo is bad imo so personally I couldn’t wear it. Doesn’t look like it’s stocked in many UK skate shops either.
That Bill dude has some really good shit in the vid. He was the standout!
Yeah it’s interesting, you can’t move for it here. Go to a spot and there will be a kid with a beanie or a tee. It’s nothing short of impressive.
Was just wondering as I’ve seen the odd beanie starting to show up in northern edits but not to the same level as you see kids in London wearing it. I think they must do a tonne of websales
Sorry, back to the video. Yup bill guy was the stand out. Some really nice tech sprinkled in that vid
I’m getting Animal watch and fido dido vibes from it, and neither are good
