So rain stopped play at the Bron Swalecliffe S.K.A.T.E session, but so I've been told a fun time was had at the NCP car park in Margate. Hopefully a new time and date will be coming soon and we can all prey for better weather. Speaking of the Bron check out this sick little video, featuring our favourite Thanet boy Mr Dave Edwards.
I have just come back from Margate after taking Seth to visit his great Aunty and I took him via Mill Lane to show him where we used to hang out. I'm pretty sure he was extremely impressed, but being only a year and a half he only managed an "all gone now" after finishing his yogurt covered raisins :oD anyway, the project is coming along well, getting the last of Paul Crawleys images this week and am trying to sort out a day to meet up with Jim and Gib to go through everything we have collected so far. So keep checking the blog for more news and info.
Jim also sent me a link to a rad video from 1991 around the South Bank, Shell Center and Meanwhile - South Bank Video
In the summer of 2006 The Outsiders took a road trip to Cornwall to skate new and old spots in the sunshine. This was the first time in many years we had all hooked up and James was there to document the fun.
I had an excellent weekend meeting up with Paul Crawley to scan in a box full of negs that he had taken around 1994/95. There were so many good shots, that brought back a lot of memories. The one above in particular, has anyone seen or heard from Paul Dobson? Please let me know.
I hooked up with Gav last week and it was really cool to see him ripping up the Unit 1 bowl and keeping the Outsiders spirit alive. I also notice on Leon's facebook status that he was making the most of the sunshine and skating down at Swalecliffe. This made me think we should organise a day to all meet up for a skate. I was thinking around the Easter holidays, maybe down at Swalecliffe? I will post on facebook and see who is up for it. This will also be a good oppurtunity for Jim to get some extra footage for the film.
