This is the biggest thing to happen in Cardiff since the invention of coal mining.

Don’t be a loser, be there.

Finally Returned

Recently moved back to Cardiff and decided to release an edit to celebrate.

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.

City Surf’s new store is OPEN!

Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , on November 5, 2011 by Jim O

They’re now relocated to 17 High Street Arcade.

There’s wall art by Phil and Nat from Santa Cruz. There’s new stock. There’s huge windows. And it’s right next door to The New York Deli!

Can’t wait to see the City Surf shop vid that’s in production and features all the riders from the updated team which I THINK means Josh Underwood, Nick Jones, Steve King, Josh Perett and Sharpy. Could be wrong…

Get down there and say hello!

You know…I was thinking…Cardiff needs a really good skate shop…

…one where you can sit down and watch skate vids on a rainy day. One where you can see art and products from all the local companies and artists. One where you can buy CSC stickers and where they don’t mind if you eat a meatball marinara Subway before fingering all the white tees.

One that’s a bit like City Surf, but like a more modern, more ‘hip’ version of City Surf…

WELL YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT!

NEW CITY SURF COMING SOON
More details coming soon!

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.

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.
