Issue 4 of the Western Australian Staple Magazine is now available for your retinal absorption online. Simply click on the issue 4 thumbnail on the staple home page. Inside you will find an assortment of pixels featuring: a Duo interview with up and coming shredders Phil Marshall and Quayde Baker, a unique skate flick remix / studio visit with Barb Bolt, a Graham Miller photo essay, Capt’n K music feature and loads of radical splices of west coast skateboarding moments. Hmm… Isn’t skateboarding a fascinating beast?
Some sample spreads from issue 4 of staple.
Been a busy new year so far. I posted a bunch of photos from the past six weeks over on SLAP and a video of a couple local skaters.
While skateboarding is so all over the place it’s kinda gross, good skateploitation music videos haven’t come by the dozen since Sonic Youth’s 100%, or Suicidal Tendencies’ Possessed to Skate. It took a minute but a new milestone was jut delivered, it seems : Gil-Scott Heron’s Me and The Devil, featuring an army of night warriors chasing GSE’s doomed soul through NYC on skateboards. Its director, Michael Sterling Eaton, discusses how it came about on A Visual Sound.

Over the weekend I was able to get over to S.F., shoot some photos and run around the balcony of a hotel 25 floors up to avoid getting pinched by security.

My friend Nicholas Platzer, from the notorious INOPERABLE gallery in Vienna recently braved the rain, ice and snow to partake in the annual bike race, Piratislava. The journey starts in the city of Vienna, Austria, and continues through the shittiest of weather conditions to Bratislava in Slovakia.
The UK has been under a bed of snow for about a week and the coldest it has been since the early 80s, in the middle of the snowfall last week I went out to the seafront and the skatepark to take some photos. The sea horizon was almost in whiteout, so much so you couldn’t see the offshore forts or the Isle of Wight (the island off the coast of the island I live on). The skatepark was really interesting, we rarely get snow this far south, let alone this heavy, so it was unusual seeing the concrete and ramps covered in a white layer. There are more photos of the skatepark and of the sea and pier over at Forever Circling.
