Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , , , , , on February 23, 2012 by Jim O

…still haven’t got internet in my new house, still waiting for my new baby, still not got time to update CSC, still not loving police

BUT

I am loving this. Barca trip report from the Southport, Liverpool, Leeds, Cardiff blog that namechecks three of the greatest cities in the UK…and Southport. Ok to be fair I have never been to Southport so it’s probably aaaaaaaaaaawwwwesome but who knows.

Check the Ali photos…DOPE!

If you weren’t at Dykey’s flat for his birthday party you won’t have seen Pirate Man’s awesome ‘Happy Birthday Dykey’ edit. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

Enjoy.

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

Don’t be a loser, be there.

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

Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , , on October 26, 2011 by Jim O

…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!

Cardifferent/Crayon skateboards collaboration coming up…

Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , , on September 19, 2011 by Jim O

Seems like a good idea to combine the creative muscle behind two of Cardiff’s best skate/street brands. Not sure exactly what they’ve got planned but it should be good.

Weirdly I had the idea of doing a ‘Cardiffornia’ CSC tee-shirt but instead of the Hollister style vibe I was thinking raw 80s neon and palm trees…guess that idea’s dead in the water now. New CSC tees coming soon though…watch this space!

Welshcakes do Cardiff Plaza

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on September 9, 2011 by Jim O

Chimpo and the gang brought their antics to the plaza a little while ago, and they’ve finally uploaded their edit. See if you can spot yourself and don’t forget to follow Welshcakes on Youtube for more skatepark reviews!

Seeing this edit makes me realise that the plaza is in desperate need of a repaint. Anyone got any good ideas for a colour scheme?
