If there was, say, a newsworthy moment and you could shoot for an interview with, say, Ryan Lay or a handful of other relevant people. No matter how interesting the rest might be they probably still won’t be as great to talk to as Ryan Lay.

One of my favourite things I’ve ever written was that Nick Boserio skates like Indiana Jones running away from the giant boulder. Revisiting that story on account of this line, from Hayley Wilson’s new part, encapsulating it perfectly. — quartersnacks.com/2022/09/five...

Big up The House Skatepark in Sheffield. Over 25 years deep and one of the few remaining indoor parks in England (and that’s skatepark not “action sports academy”). A conscientious place in many ways but, most importantly, somewhere affordable to skate inside, hours on end, for less than a tenner.

Limosine accomplish more with one trip and a six minute video than some skateboarding companies couldn’t do with years of a filming and a half-hour-plus runtime. Lovely people too. Revisiting a personal fave with Cyrus for from their earlier days for the heck of it.
