Howaya Love

I like communicating with Love Eneroth- not due to a particular receptive nature of the Swede, or due to the fact that he looks remarkably like Ed Norton, no, it because I get to use the same colloquialisms as inner city Dublin street traders a.k.a. aul wan's hawking fruit on Moore Street. "Howaya Love, d'y'want any greeepes? Lovedly bananas derrr Love, beuariful Love.." and so it goes.
The guys at WESC have revamped thier website and accordingly have axed me to upload his Stockhom section from the Scrum Tilly Lush, so here ye go Love.

All other new happenings are now being posted on the other blog.

I received a copy of a German basejumpers magazine that I somehow appeared in. Stoked!

Here's my newest project I've been working on for the past few months.

Keep an eye over there for plenty of updates on it.

Also there's a rad article on TSTL in Spain's central zine, it looks rad, but unlike Ron Burgandy's dog I don't speak Spanish so i'll just have to assume that their words are wonderful.

Nick Jensen in London- The Scrum Tilly Lush

Here we have Nick Jensen's London section from The Scrum Tilly Lush. Nick was the first fella to commit to filming a section for the video, and no sooner had he pledged his services he'd got the section finished. The original idea behind the video was to show how various men of plank riding notoriety shred their home city on a daily basis, basically I wanted to show the opposite of a filtered hammer-laden video and give a tangible picture that everyday skaters can relate to. I know I don't go out the door and throw myself down chasms every day and neither do the majority of folk. As a preference I take no greater pleasure than skating around a city centre with my friends and taking in as many spots as I can in one day.

As this was the first section filmed the energy behind the initial video idea was still quite fresh and the section you see below was filmed over a single weekend, with the majority of the footage going down over just 2 days. I wanted to see how Nick really skates, he showed me, and I was very impressed! Channon King even popped up and provided a snazzy guest trick. After filming this section it was way easier to get more radical dudes on board, good show!

"Sey sumthin naaarlee"

Humanpyramids.net is a rad art collective of a whole range of cats that somehow made the mistake of inviting a spa from Bray for an interview..so go grab your mouse and rub it all over their screen as a message of gratitude for spreading the unholy word of Bray.

Helloooo Newman

I remember when I was on the second trip to Stockholm to finish up Love' section for the vid when he informed me that his photographer mate Ander's Neuman would be joining us. I thought this would be rad, but what particularly drew my attention was Love addressing Ander's on the phone in the exact manner that slightly mulleted not-funny guy Jerry Seinfeld addresses his ficticious fat apartment co-habiter. Why rely on my words when low compression 3 second videos can explain it a lot better. I'm sure Neuman (not Newman) has heard this witty rejoinder manys the time, but its still gave me a silly chuckle none the less. Anyway, after Love warmed up with 7 hours of stretching and we got out for a skate, I still had that phrase stuck in my head, just in the way you have the last song you heard before you've left the house stuck in your head most of the day- except my song went like this.
I kept repeating it to myself here and there most of the day- While unpacking my camera- Hello Newman. While unfolding the tripod, Hello Newman. Love's rolling up to a trick- Hello Newman. Basically any noun that it could be applied to got "Newmanned". What I didn't realise was that Neuman, as in the Swedish photographer, was at the spot right beside me, but the Newman song had long since took its grip on me gob and sure enough I blurted it out a few times in front of the guy until I actually realised that he was Neuman, man I felt like a spa. I really hate when people are overly familiar, and there I was slagging the dude who I'd yet to meet.
Luckily for me Anders Neuman is a rad fella and he seemed to overlook my well worn catch phrases. I'm also lucky as he took some real rad photos when we were out and put together the article above for his mag Transition. So go ahead, click the image above and flex your Swedish skills, you'll be no rival for my fluent tongue I assure you. Tak Neuman!



[crude]
Below is an article on the vid in Munster's rad new mag [crude]. I'm so stoked on this mag, its first mag that has had skating as just an element of it that I've been stoked on, normally that type of mag is cheesy and broad. Articles on the evolution of joypads to local rippers and to how much of a spa bono really is are all delivered with unpretentious witt. Props to all involved, can't wait for the next issue!
Here's crude's site right here. Pick up a copy if you can, it even has a crossword!
