The early 00′s Manchester Wisdom crew head to Prague for a good old fashioned knees up/skate mission in this long lost edit from the one and only Stu Bentley. With Tom Brown, Garry Woodward, Si Ashton, Gez Magus, Eastbourne Ben, Keith Millar and more.

Manchester “10 X10″, June 1999.

I’m pretty sure this was eventually turned into ‘Leisure’, but Stu Bentley’s long lost promo for Wisdom Skateshop in Manchester showed a great deal of promise for the video that technically never was.

Featuring Keith Millar, Garry Woodward, James Ewens, Dan Rees, Eddie Belvedere and more, there were only 100 VHS copies of the promo made, which were given away for free to shop regulars and visitors to the long defunct stores in Manchester, Leeds and Huddersfield.

Enjoy…

Sunday Service: Garry Woodward – “Hating Life” (1999)

I was mortified when i thought I’d lost my copy of Neil Chester’s 1999 A4 Distribution video “Hating Life”, but luckily enough, I’d only managed to misplace it as I found the thing whilst rifling through a box of old VHS earlier this week.

Anyway, Garry “Woody” Woodward’s closing section was always a real standout for me – the combination of full speed lines, proper “all terrain” business and raw Mancunion power meant that this particular part got a heavy rinsing upon its release. Seems as I finally found my copy of the video, I thought I’d share Woody’s part with the world via this weeks Sunday Service.

Obviously props to Neil Chester for filming and editing this classic UK video – pay attention to the boardslide attempts at Castlefield in Manchester at the start. Mental…

Sunday Service: Garry “Woody” Woodward – “Leisure” (2004)

This week we thought we’d use our Sunday invasion of your inbox to draw your attention to the skateboarding of Manchester’s Garry “Woody” Woodward. I’m sure you’re all well aware, but Woody’s been literally killing it for years, taking care of both street and park business with ease, starting out racking up coverage in the mid 90′s and continuing right through to the present day.

We were hoping to bring you his section from Neil Chester’s 1999 VHS “Hating Life” but my copy seems to have randomly gone AWOL, meaning we decided to bring you a later section from Woody, this time from Stu Bentley’s infamous 2004 release “Leisure”.
