cor, some gems here

tldr section:
Moul mentioned skating with Penny at Little Clarendon Street in Oxford in Sidewalk #200.
i had no clue about the spot/s there, so did a Google street view, which got me to Deathboxā€™s SOTB vid - there was a clip of Moul skating there. result!
then finally watched all of SOTB - its only been out 33 years. searching for more on Dave Evans - one of the main Deathbox video makers - led me to SVLā€™s vid list. aw yeah

Looks like somebody needs to add a brief description of their project. Bah.

Couldnā€™t see the Wisdom ā€˜Pulling Teethā€™ video listed but annoyingly I can only find it as a short clip playlist

Bloody hell, glaring omission there. Makes me think I did this page more than three years ago now, so there might be a few more missing and some dead links. Only made it live at the end of last week.

@visuals0und - Thereā€™s a lot of great stuff out there thatā€™s only uploaded as sections, annoyingly.

Couldnā€™t find the Lord video anywhere - link?

I donā€™t think itā€™s online sadly. It was on mpoora but obvs that went down the bog.

Iā€™m sure Rad did a competition to design the video cover for the Lord video. Iā€™d just started college and found the Blackbody filter on Photoshop and rinsed it (as most people did). A pic of Channer flipping into a mass of flames ensued and was sent off for older skaters to chuck in the bin, ha.
