Jason Lewer’s ‘A Very Highbrow Video’ section (2011).

In the words of Mike O’Shea…

“Here is Jason’s section from A VERY HIGHBROW VIDEO.
This was Lewer in 2011 before his Dylan Rieder make over. I think this is my favorite of his outfit choices. Dress sense aside Lewer can shred pretty much anything.
P.S, Just in case you cant tell from the first clip, Jason had dreads when he was a teen.”

Korahn Gayle’s Top 5 Bristol Spots.

Ryan — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:46:10 +0000

Red Bull, Skate Cafe and Nike SB’s Korahn Gayle takes some time out of his day to tell you about his five favourite skate spots in his hometown of Bristol, and the standout tricks he’s seen go down at each.

Read on…

College Green.

It is just flatground, but sometimes we would bring a box or flatbar and just skate all day long in the sun, and chill on the grass with our friends. The best tricks at College Green were anything that Paul and Steve Alexander did there. They had the best styles and Wainwright level pop!

The First Light Rail.

The First Light Rail was named that because quite a few of us had First Light’s in Sidewalk there. My favourite trick at the First Light Rail would have to be Layth’s frontside flip over it. I always loved his frontside flips and that one was “gurt luuush”!

Victoria Rooms.

I remember skating the little three sets when I was 13 years old and learning tricks there. Now people skate it in so many different ways. My favourite trick has to be Dan Wileman’s gap to noseblunt. I didn’t spot that you could skate the ledge like that before I saw him do that, and now I have I still won’t touch it with a barge pole!

The Fifty Fifty miniramp.

I think it is still there but it has been neglected. It’s another spot that reminds me of the good old days!
Finishing work in the shop and going down to skate it with Louis Marshall, Boyo, Lil’ Chris, Syd, Danny and whoever else was about, and just learning tricks and watching everyone killing it.
My favourite tricks were Danny’s switch and regular front foot impossible nose stalls, and Habgood grinding up the pole on the side!

Lloyds.

Good old Lloyds! The best trick I have seen at Lloyds could quite easily be Layth’s switch tre, Nicky Howell’s bigspin flip, Boyo’s switch flip, Barber’s nollie tre (all down the Big 3), but my favourite trick really has to be Terry Shiimi’s nosegrab. Sadly he has passed away but he’s never forgotten and every time I see that trick it makes me feel like he is still with us. RIP Terry.

Don’t forget you can win yourself a day out in London skating with Korahn thanks to the folks at Red Bull – click here to find out more info or check the clip below!

In dedication to Will Appleby – ‘Those Who’ve Sailed With Me’ section online now.

Ryan — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:44:58 +0000

“Back in June 2011, much loved Cumbrian skater and filmer Will Appleby tragically passed away after a night out in Bristol where he attended university. A year later I finished making a film dedicated to Will entitled ‘Those Who’ve Sailed With Me’. It features Will and all his friends from Cumbria and Bristol including Alex Appleby, Owen Godbert, Ste Fletcher, Robbie Tattershall, Jordan Watson, Channon Wallace, Hasan Kamil and Ed Berriman, as well as footage from the first ‘Skate For Will’ jam back in July 2011 in Will’s hometown of Ulverston, Cumbria. Will is as passionate about skating and filming as anyone could be and his talent and hard work always shone through; an amazing friend and incredible brother. This is his first full-section made up of footage from when he first started skating to his time in Bristol – the other sections are also available on YouTube and Mpora. Thanks for watching.”
