As you should have seen by now in the latest issue of the mag, back in January Shiner took a handful of riders on a little jaunt across Ireland, daubed “The Shiner Ship Tour”, to put on a bunch of demos and take in the odd bit of street. We’ve brought you a couple of trailers from the trip over the past week or so, but today we’ve got the first of four full edits from the tour for your viewing pleasure!

Get watching below as Stu Graham, Conhuir Lynn, Josh “Manhead” Young, Denis Lynn and Jake Collins kick off the tour with a day out around several DIY spots in Belfast, and an evening demo at the T-13 Skatepark in the city.

Part 2 coming soon enough – keep a keen eye out…

It was Belfast-a-gogo on our second none demo day of the tour – afternoon busts, evening photo missions and a last night drinking session at Lavery’s were all in order. Peep the snaps, more to follow…

Odd that this is so rare in England - the tour drink of choice. Get some whilst you can.

Sibling rivalry or brotherly love?

Art n' that, right?

Following the Touchwood demo on Sunday night, the Shiner crew spent the evening in Cork before heading north for a return visit to Dublin and Greystones, then venturing even further arriving back at Hotel De Clynn in Belfast this evening/morning depending on which way you look at it.

The demo leg of the trip is over, so lets see what the next few days have in store for us…

Denis and Stu - today was definitely the day after the night before for these two. Cork got messy...

Maps are fun and Jake can be a menacing little shit at times.

Everything a van full of skateboarders could ever need + Jerome on sandwich artist duties...

Beans near toast - a tour breakfast favourite.

Nicky does Porto - post technical battle re-hydration in Dublin.

Yeah, todays blog post is pretty food heavy - this one's for Leo Smith.

Rob Ya Pockets - you know what time it is.

Two beasts and a couple o' milkshakes - Phil Evans and Richard Gilligan. Click their names to check out their work. Top geezers...

The weekend saw the Shiner Ship crew head south from Derry for the final two demos in Dublin and Cork, picking up Nicky “Hammerhouse” Howells along the way.

Peep some snapshots from the past couple of days now, and keep checking back for updates until the rabble fly home later in the week…

We had a brief stop off in Derry on Saturday morning - this is a photo of the Gable Wall Mural in Bogside, based around the unrest of August 1969.

Manhead, Denis and Stu - Bogside again. Stu was hyped!

Nicky and Stu's candle lit bromance meal time.

Our Sunday morning session at Bushy was slightly ruined by a massive puddle...

...and Conhuir potentially breaking his wrist.

To top it all off Stu managed to completely write off his truck.
