What's up guys! First post, hope it's alright haha :)

Hope everyone's enjoying the snow, had two days off school already - a 5 day weekend would be mint! Been busting out the old decks as snowboards and the like, been a good laugh.
Before the snow came about me and a friend just finished a bit of a split edit of us two, nothing serious, just some chill footage of recent sessions I guess! So yeah, thought I'd share with you all, hope you enjoy it! :)

Also, on a completely random but crazy note take a look at the new NASS website. The statement 'NASS is now an official leg of the World Cup Skateboarding series' should explain why you need to check it out!

A few laps with the squeegee and leaf blower, we were back on!

Sadly the rain returned after the BMX heats which meant we had to cancel the Inline comp and go strait to the results and prize giving.

A massive thanks to everyone who took part and helped make the event a success, next year will be bigger and better!
