Sunday just gone saw skateboarders from literally all over the UK descend upon Redcar for the ‘Doing it for Bingo’ Jam 2013, to honour the life and memory of the one and only Steven ‘Bingo’ Binks.

As expected, the 4-6pm session was packed out as every corner of R-Kade’s new layout got well and truly broken in, with an equally as rammed screening of the fourth full length Mischief shop video ‘Sons of the North’ taking place in the parks cafe at 7pm.

Footage from the jam is now online and ready to be watched below, featuring shredding from Ronny Calow, Tom Harrison, Tom Tanner, Josh Young, Craig Smedley, Blinky, John Sykes, Vaughan Jones, Aiden Blaymire and more. ‘Sons of the North’ will be available in skateshops around the country soon.

Massive props to Danny and Ronny Calow at Legacy Skatestore, Niki and the staff at R-Kade, Jerome at Shiner and all of the events sponsors for making the day happen.

RIP Bingo! Never forget…

Sunday Service: Bernie Rea – Unabomber “Up The Rebels” (2004)

Ryan — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 08:00:21 +0000

Having grown up on Market Street, Belfast, Bernie Rea was one of the most stylish and naturally gifted humans from the Emerald Isle to ever set foot on a skateboard. The small amount of footage he committed to tape over the years definitely gives you the idea of how easily skateboarding came to him, but it’s the vast amount of stories you hear about Bernie, or things that were witnessed first hand that were never documented, that will live on in Irish skate-lore forever.

First try ollies in the dark that haven’t been touched since, never-ending lines around St Anne’s purely for the sake of, and a certain level of nonchalant command over his board that drew comparisons with a certain floppy-haired Oxfordian lad.

After a solid “Haunts” in 2001, a brief stint on the post “Headcleaner” era Unabomber and several video parts on various MonkeyBird productions, Bernie vanished off into Belfast obscurity in late 00′s, but still reappears at Bridges skatepark every now again, and still has the ability to kill it without even trying.

Check his casual as you like section from the 2004 Unabomber video “Up The Rebels” by clicking the play button below, then head back to the Sidewalk site on Wednesday morning to see Bernie tear up the infamous St Anne’s plaza in the second part of Peter Adam’s amazing “St Anne’s: Full Circle” documentary.

Bingo “Actions Realized” video from Real Skateboards.

The Real Skateboards “Actions Realized” deck honouring the life of Steven “Bingo” Binks is now available at all good skater owned shops across the land, as well as via the Actions Realized website – be sure to bag up one of these bad boys before they’re all gone.

James Harris’ short documentary to accompany the board launch is also now live and can be watched below, offering a glimpse into Bingo’s life and legacy via archive photos, footage and interviews with a collection of close friends.

Props to everyone who helped make this happen – RIP Bingo.
