MONOCHROME PREMIERE

Monochrome Premiere 27/02/2015
We had an amazing turn out from all the south London crew and beyond. It was so satisfying to final premier the film in its entirety to an audience, I am stroked that everyone came, stoked for working with such a tight crew of skateboarders and really stoked that Rob Smith and the other dudes down at House of Vans made this happen, with free beer and fried chicken and all. Massive thanks once again for everyone that helped make this happen.

Favorite food? “Something spicy, chili, Mexican food, I like chili con carni.”

What’s the best thing about skateboarding? “The feeling of getting something new and the adrenaline that comes with it. Its feel good when you’re going for something but end up landing something else by accident.”

Who inspires you to skate and why? “B M T crew, the Sheffield crew. Watching stuff wise, Tony T , Kevin Kowalski, most anti hero riders, John Cardiel.”

What’s your favorite video or part? “There are too many videos right now. When I first started, probably This and That, I enjoyed it because it had an essence of fun and was a good skate flick. Watching any video parts with Tony T. One of my favorites parts is Sammy Bacca’s part from Prevent This Tragedy, I like that one a lot.”

What gets you hyped to skate? “Watching other people kill it, weather its live or on a video. Waking up feeling my body is working, not feeling too stressed and having no obligations.”

Favorite skate spot? “Kimber because its where I started, even thou other places are more fun, its just got a special place in my heart.”

Any injuries? “Broke my arm pretty bad when I was 16, forearm snapped in 2, got me extra time in my GCSEs, which was cool. Rolled ankles, bruises and other general skate injuries.”

Do you have any plans for skateboarding in 2014? “Finishing filming for my part in Monochrome. I want to go and skate more places up north, living in Sheffield means I am closer and want to take more advantage of that. Do well in my Degree.”

Sheffield, what’s that all about? “Well, I moved here to study at university, I found the skate scene up here to be really cool, everyone is super talented and nice and it’s a great place to skate as well. I really like living here, I might stay.”

Any comments/ thanks?

SKATEBOARD RELIGION X BMT: WINTER EDIT

Skateboard Religion has teamed up with the infamous BMT crew this season, to bring you our Winter edit for 2011/12. Its been a really fair winter with surprisingly, not too much bitter coldness, in the air, meaning the ground was left mostly dry this winter, with not too much moistness, leaving open possibility for long hard sessions. As night drew closer we brought ourselves a new night lamp to warm up our lines, and this is the kindest of the coldest of the acts crafted in digital film for yall.

JOEL DOWOUNA/ JOSHUA JENNINGS/ ADAM JOHNS: AUTUMN 2011

SKATEBOARD RELIGION IS PROUND TO PRESENT OUR AUTUMN 2011 EDIT, FEATURING JOEL DOWOUNA, JOSHUA JENNINGS, ADAM JOHNS. Skateboard Religion aims to promote British skateboarding, by working with individuals who are keen and passionate about skateboarding.

Joel Dowouna has been skateboarding for as long as I can remember. The first time I met Joel was at Stockwell skatepark in around 2006. Between now and then I think I have seen Joel land almost every trick in the book. He is a true technician. Taking to the streets myself and Joel aim to produce a solid documentation of his talents on a skateboard and his versatility as a skateboarder, in the form of a full video part at the end of 2012. But for now we have this edit for you to feast your eyes upon.

When you watch Joshua Jennings skate and note the ease with which he glides and moves, it is easy to imagine that those long legs of his, play a useful advantage in the poetic ballet of movement which is skateboarding. Elusive mega pop mixed with first try cool footed steazyness and fast footed tech ability all add to the fruitful concoction of skateboarding which is Joshua Jennings. Mid way through our filming for the edit below, Josh got hooked up with some flow from DC, so we should be seeing a new DC edit from Josh coming out next year.

Adam Johns is known to have a fast, hands on approach, to all things skateboarding. Along side Coordinating skateboarding events in and out of Stockwell skate park, Adam built a DIY skate park over the course of a weekend and in his spare time builds miniature skateable obstacles that can be dragged around from spot to spot. Adam Johns is a pillar to any skate community and an awesome skateboarder in his own rights. Check out his Blog http://johnser.blogspot.com/

SKATEBOARD RELIGION: JAMES MCLEAN VICTORIA PARK BOWL

James Mclean is a boiler engineer by day, working hard to make sure we all have lots of nice hot water in our homes. In his spare time he enjoys nothing more than finding a big old gnarley bowl and shredding it at a hundred a fifty two miles per hour. We met up at Victoria park bowl along with Skateboard Religion old timer Bobby Bouche, who has featured in previous video edits such as, SKATEBOARD RELIGION's six corners of london and How we build ramps 2. James also picked up Emecca and Hamish from Stockwell on his way to Victoria park Bowl, Stockwell ripper and beatbox extrordinaire Pikey Tom came along with Bobby and Costa was allready there on arrival. An impromptu, rad, session. An impromtu, rad, edit...

SKATEBOARD RELIGION: THE UNTHINKABLE

300GB OF FOOTAGE GONE. It is a sad time when a hard drive dies. Luckily someone managed to save about thirty percent of the footage for me, but unfortunately it means I have lost a few shots which I was going to include in our end of season video edit. Fortunatly I have a copy of STOCKER 2010 EDIT which we where saving to release later this month, featuring rad skateboarding from Stockwell skatepark in 2010. All is not lost, there are a few more possibility's to retrieve the damaged data from the drive, they require time and money, two things I haven't got right now, but a strong possibility for the future.
