Was that the guy calling out everyone who worked at the BBC in the 70s and 80s.
We met Cubix when we went to Cheltenham to meet Neil the once. Had a photo of us all doing front rocks on the green bench as that was thing.

Monster Network was a crew from Essex/East Anglia. Kind of a revolving squad who made videos/zine/shirts, etc. Some of the people in the earliest videos went on to make the later videos, and the kids in those videos did the same over again - and they all kept it under the MN moniker.
Pretty sick.
But the account was one person.

Yeah the N26 MN had their own project, probably still does, called ‘Quiet Corners’ and did a collab with Blueprint on a board series. They stopped posting around this time iirc. I feel like a few people stopped posting once they started mixing in industry circles.

Quiet Corners. Yep.
He also ran “skateboarding is…” which was a dope pre-YouTube Bobshirt type video account.
I think the Bored of Southsea associated “Stromg Island” brand is his, these days.
I’ve hung with him a lot but not for years. We still keep in contact. He’s a rad guy.

I remember Anon shouting out one of the local skaters (Hopper) by his N26 name username at the Flip demo on the megaphone way back and Hopper being absolutely stoked.

Same. I had three or four of them before they started doing prizes.
I did work out that nobody wrote into the letters page so wrote a letter every time i needed shoes and won about 5 or six pairs over a few years

Did he? Shit. I didnt know that. It wasnt him I was thinking of though
One of the first conversations I had with him was about car parks and filming. He said he’d made the monster network stuff
