Conor Charleson Realise section

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos with tags , , , , on November 9, 2011 by Jim O

I have just started a new job and as a result I am no longer able to spend the best part of the day lurking the Sidewalk forum and posting on Facebook. This has obviously had a knock-on effect on CSC…and for that I apologise.

However, it couldn’t escape my attention that Conor had uploaded his part from Realise. He says its the only standalone section he has on his computer and that the others will follow soon…compromise, or shameless self promotion? Haha…only kidding.

Sick section…lots of local NBDs at spots that are hard to skate. CSC is proud to feature Conor Charleson.

So there’s a new DIY spot in the Bay…

…I guess it’s wise not to say who built it in case THE MAN decides that proactive transformation of decaying urban areas into playgrounds for wheeled artistes of the skate persuasion is a BAD thing. Which you know they will..because THE MAN DON’T GIVE A F**K ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.

Anyway, thanks to the anonymous benefactors. Make sure you are reasonably respectful when skating this place and beware the attentions of the locals at the pub opposite.

Enjoy the edit and, hey, you know…maybe BUY A T-SHIRT

What’s the meaning of skateboarding?

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos with tags , , , , on October 23, 2011 by Jim O

So…this is the latest video from Jack Isaac…and I’m gonna come straight out and say it…

  • I’M REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS DIDN’T TELL ME WHAT THE MEANING OF SKATEBOARDING IS!
  • How come you are ALL called Jack and Jamie? Pretty weird if you ask me.

I was expecting an in-depth documentary detailing the subtle differences in motivation and the desire for self expression that drive young men and women to engage in this wonderful pastime. I got none of that.

This video is basically a bunch of friends skateboarding and filming their best moments to share with the internet. It’s what skateboarding is all about these days. Anyway, you’ll want to watch the friends section because if you skate in Cardiff you’re probably in it. It captures some of the better moments of the Summer when it wasn’t pissing down. You’ll also want to watch James Davies ollie big stuff, Boneless Kid deliver all the foot down goodness you’d expect from him and Jamie Isaac do some pretty smooth mini ramp tech. HEY I’M NOT SAYING YOU DON’T WANT TO WATCH THE OTHER JACKS AND JAMIES I’M JUST SAYING THOSE JACKS AND JAMIES WERE SICK.

Check it out.

Realise re-premiere…the verdict

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos, General skateboarding with tags , , , , , on October 17, 2011 by Jim O

It was SICK.

Bakery boys James Silver and Nile Bridgeman’s section is rad. Does anyone else like Bakery as much as I do? And I’m not just talking about Gregg’s donuts and sausage rolls…I’m talking about Bakery the Cardiff skate company.

Tom Williams, Sean Barnes, Luca Zavaglia, Hywel Burke, Conor Charleson, Jon Faulkner, Ethan Watkins, Nick Jones, Tom Kirkby *cough* Bakery *cough*…everyone else were amazing too.

The other thing worth mentioning is that this video has one of the best slam sections I’ve ever seen. Classics were Conor’s horrible bottom step clipper and James Silver’s metal bar slam. Lovely stuff.

Apart from Bakery there was other cool stuff about the premiere. Like a woman falling on her face outside the pub. Like Scooch showing me his paintball bruises and being proud of his extra-curricular whipped cream based birthday shenanigans. Like Conor finally proving to the world that persistence and dedication will pay off eventually…and like seeing a whole new wave of Cardiff skateboarders ready to carry the torch.

Oh and did I mention that Bakery sent CSC HQ a t-shirt and some stickers last week? Bribery works ladies and gentlemen.

Super important do not miss:

BIG PUSH PREMIERE TOMORROW NIGHT IN BUFFALO AT 8PM. This means all the STEVE KING footage amongst stuff from local heroes Caradog, Jake, Chris Jones, Taylor Oakley, Pulley, Dylan and Nicky Howells.

P.S. BAKERY

Sunday skateboarding news for Cardiff…

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos, General skateboarding with tags , , , , , , , on October 16, 2011 by Jim O

…it’s the re-premiere of ‘Realise’ TONIGHT – 7.30 onwards, Buffalo.

Should be good this time as Conor has four back-up DVDs, a copy on a laptop, and in case of emergency a selection of skateboarding poems and stories relating to his time growing up as a young buck on the streets of Penarth.

If you can’t wait until tonight for your fix of Cardiff based skateboarding check this edit from Josh Ellis and friends filmed over the course of the Summer.

That’s it for now, there’s nothing else to tell you about the world of skateboarding this week so I’ll sign off. No…wait…what’s this? My Chimpo McDoodle senses are tingling…this can mean only one thing…Welshcakes news! Let me check Facebook in case I’ve missed an update…

How could I forget. Chimpo Ring of Fire at Ferndale.

What is the meaning of skateboarding?

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos on October 6, 2011 by Jim O

A South Wales based skateboarding film showcasing the talent of many skateboarders from all over South Wales. Filmed & edited by Jack Isaac (aka Boneless Kid!).

This takes place in Bethel Baptist Church in Pontyclun…a bit of a change from Buffalo bar. You can keep up to date on Facebook.

(Live music from Luke Elford, Under the Radar & FourWordsLater…)

QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST SKATEBOARDING RELATED EVENT EVER TO HIT PONTYCLUN!

Wow isn’t this weather a delight? It’s smashing for doing a bit of skateboarding…

In an attempt to broaden our horizons (and after broadening the crotch of my trousers beyond the material’s capacity to constrain the contents of my underpants at the plaza that morning…I won’t elaborate) a few of us headed to Swansea yesterday to check out the Exist park and to enjoy the blazing sunshine in the city of love.

We skated this ghetto ledge. Tweek did noseslides and Pirate Man got some bangers in the bag from Steve King, Sharpy and Tommy. Butcher sloped off round the corner and invented slappy clangers and a friendly local Ogre protected us all from harm. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SCENE MAN.

Tweek noseslide

While we wandered through Swansea’s barren Sunday streets, Katchi was in Barry holding it down for skateboarders at the popular X-Games BMX park on The Knap. Footage below…

ENJOY THE SUNSHINE WHILE IT LASTS!

Step one: Read this text – GO TO THE CRAYON WEBSITE AT WWW.CRAYONSKATEBOARDS.COM

Step two: Give in to the electrical impulses carried through your nervous system that instruct your fingers to hit your keyboard in the correct configuration to visit the Crayon skateboards website. If that’s too difficult (e.g. your name is Dykey)…click this link.

Your unblinking vision system will receive digital information which can be easily and quickly assimilated by the brain and converted into ALL NEW ALL AWESOME CJ and Korahn BANGERS.

Realise (a little preparation goes a long way)

Posted in Cardiff skateboarding videos, General skateboarding on September 16, 2011 by semitae

In the history of Cardiff premieres there’s been  a spectrum of lateness spanning 2hrs+ for Scott Magills Who to 2 weeks for Dykies Underexposed.

Conor

Well Realise bridges the gap between the two, after a 2hrs wait and the delivery of an I Mac some edited visions were seen by the baying crown. Unfortunatley having to wait for each separate skaters file to buffer left a bad taste in some mouths and the taste of lager in others with plenty of time to vist the bar inbetween sections.

We were left to come to the conclusion that a wait of 2 weeks might be for the best. With the event due to be reschedualed soon lets all hope a DVD copy is the hands of Tom and Conor ready for next time.
