The UK Rules

According to WFSA records there are more known freestylers in the UK than another area in the world...hundreds of them!
Several UK freestylers are among the top in the world, most notable is Darran Nolan who has drawn the attention of Rodney Mullen recently!
The BFSN, the only known freestyle organization in the UK and composed of young men, some only of high school age, has hosted several highly successful championships at N.A.S.S., such as the Euro Championship and just recently the World Championship. As far as I can tell this is the youngest group of skaters to produce a Pro World Championship of any kind in the history of skateboarding.
More importantly is the fact that they have inspired other freestylers of their age to produce championship level events in other countries.
Lets get it straight...the UK is on the cutting edge of the current global freestyle scene.

England Sucks?

Since when did England suck for freestyle? There's quite a thriving group of freestylers, certainly far more than when I started...there were maybe 6 or 7 dedicated guys that were known. Now there's probably over 20. If freestyle products were sold over here, it'd still cost less to buy it from America, so it doesn't matter that there's no companies over here..
Sidewalk and Document have had small freestyle references and articles, and Andy Evans has included freestyle in his new video 'This 'n' That'. We're being noticed alot more. So what sucks.. we have a growing scene, plenty of flat ground, products flowing out of our ears, and we're gaining recognition.
I think it's time to organise another national UK jam...

===========================
Mike Mullen -
My brothers and I saw Gary at TOY CITY -
I believe it was 1975...
he was doing a skateboard demonstration there
with the late Tom Padaca.
I think they were representing GrenTec at that time.
Gary is definitely one of the best skateboard freestylists
I have ever seen.
BTW - - -
Richy was interviewed by CBS TV 'SPORTS CENTRAL' today -

ASR Jam -- Killer Time!

ASR Jam -- Too cool. We started with an impromptu jam inside the ASR venue at the ABC/Acme booth on Sunday. Huge props to Jim Gray, Craig Harbick & the rest of the ABC crew for welcoming us into their space. We opened some eyes in the crowds that gathered to see the tech skills of the blend of legends and young gun skaters.
After the in show session we headed to the previously scheduled jam on the waterfront. Unfortunately, our planned jam spot -- the Broadway Pier, was booked to host a private car event (they lease that thing out sometimes and Chrysler had a bigger budget than we did) so we scrambled to find a suitable spot close by and viola! a new star was born. This boardwalk spot has the killer view, decent surface and plenty of passers-by. We were stoked to have an international crew including Kevin Harris from Canada, Lillis from Sweden and Thomas Potucek from Prague join SK8KINGS Richy Carrasco, Diane Desiderio, Gary Holl & Jon Bunn for an epic jam in the California sun. Other notables included Darryl Grogan, Mike Heller, Bob Staton & a bunch of newcomers. We had a killer time & the skating was great. Thanks to all who came out to play! We'll definitely be heading back to that spot for future jams.
More pics to come and video too.

Just wanted ti Wish the Legendary Russ Howell a belated Happy 57th Birthday salutes. Russ was the 1st. of many Skateboarders that inspired me way back in the 70's.
It is so great to have had the oppurtunity to skate, competed and met so many other people since that 1st. television thing I watched.

Mullens conversion

mullens conversion was a great idea on his part. he could continue to skate professionally and film video parts people would care about. As long as he is having fun he can skate whatever he wants. If he had not gone into street i probably wouldnt know what freestyle is. It is not like he was the only one to start a street carrer was just the only freestyler to be successfull. Reggie Barnes, Per Welinder, YoYo, Pierre Andre and Primo all had Non freestyle pro models

i agree with nation harris on his last post england does suck for freestyle although i skate street i also like totry out freestyle and find it very interesting and fun " hard " but fun . In england its seen as a waste of time to side a skateboard nevermind doing tricks no one knows like truckstands and then getting hit by the local "chavs" for not being able to land a smooth kickflip or a 360 shuvit .and to the more specific point i also agree with my friend nation harris that there sould be more freestlye sponsers especially in nottingham or even in england . keith renna reply please because we need help

Hmmm.....Who would win, me or Mullen? Let's see. I've never placed well in a high level contest (highest I went was sponsored Am in the 80's) and Rodney won all but 1 pro contest. I've learned most of my tricks by watching Mullen and Rodney invented them. I miss a lot of tricks, Rodney doesn't. I pretty much suck and Rodney doesn't. I think it's fair to say that he would win easily. :)
Thanks for thinking I'm good though. That was nice.
