Met him for the first time last year when having beers in London. Our mutual friend introduced us and I said “No way. THE Arthur Tubb?” and our friend was like “Wait….what’s going on here?” as she clearly had no idea he was a really fucking sick skater. Lovely bloke as well!

ah wow! rad

i keep imagining his name in a Cockney accent ‘half a tub’

He’s the best

He’s local to you and I.
I bump into him here and there…I think he used to session the Town Hall solo, round the back…before they fucked it up with building work.
Good dude for sure.

Great guy.

Perhaps, one of the few people to actually make Adio shoes look good.

Very true. I remember being so excited to Arthur skate when I moved to Sheff.

Just needed to meet everyone that was in Etcetera haha

The only person in Sheffield to welcome visiting skaters with a smile and chat rather than the daggers that were felt back in the day.
Obviously not calling people out but it didn’t feel a welcoming place for a while, not many places did to be honest around that time.
