A good friend of mine Matty Andrews put together this 8min promo dvd for me of some of my shady past. It features clips from bmx beat/TVAM wide a wake club/ skate stuff from the deathbox video
I think you old schoolers will enjoy it.

thats was fooking awesome, i even liked the skateboarding, think the mods need to make that a sticky
-
I really really enjoyed that. Nice one, thanks for posting.
The old stuff, the new stuff, the skating & surfing in there too. All really cool.
Even got a great Firehose song (Brave Captain) on there.

Nice one Mike - I've popped the link in your interview.
:daumenhoch:
-
That was brilliant Mike. :daumenhoch:
Some excellent footage over a long period of time... I had never seen footage of you skate before. Awesome!
It did make me chuckle how the safety values changed over the years. Early 80's you needed helmet, pads, gloves, padded jersey, padded racepants etc etc... Then 25 years later, it's just all you need is a helmet and gloves and your away.... ;D
-
cool stuff :)
yeah the skating at southsea looks fun, proper flowy skating :daumenhoch:
you better do it a bit of snowboarding aswell and add that on there 8)

There was one of those shows on the air strip where you were showing someone how to do a frame stand. He soon got it (I think he might have been able to do them already!) and you said "Phils got the frame stand wired".
I still say that quote to this day. (Yep, Im that sad!)

The show was the Wide a wake club on saturday mornings we filmed all the stuff on an old airfield near Cardiff.
Very true young man our stunt dummy for the framestand was Phil and he could ride better than us probably..you got it wired!!!

Great Mike! Thanks for the post...love the red and white stripy Vans. Looks like you've been living your dreams and you're still well involved, great to see the passion.
That surf trip looked windy...if you're ever in Santa Monica, give me a PM, Tony and I surf every weekend. Love to hang out.

never even noticed the dodgy hair... ;D
like i mentioned before... the vid is an absolute classic. it is something to truly be proud off. the whole vid just says "accomplishment" to me. i had never met mike before until very recently at the DC gig, and all i can say is that this guy is one of the coolest characters around. a genuine nice guy and deserves all the applaudits he gets. an absolute pleasure to have met and hope that wasn't gonna be the last time either. :daumenhoch:
