Holiday? It would be so nice.

Kevin D. Parrott — Tue, 03 May 2011 09:40:53 +0000

After a couple of weeks of public holidays, those extra chances to hit up otherwise unskateable city/weekday spots and generally avoid Royal Weddings make getting back into work/emails/waking up/being bothered at all that bit harder.
Which is what Youtube was made for.

Which is where I found this amusing/awesome little number:

For Bingo

Gorm — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 10:41:08 +0000

I regret to say I never met Bingo in real life. We probably were in the same location many times for comps at Northampton, Playstation, St Albans over the decades. We conversed on the internet over many years and would have long telephone chats about skateplanking and its awesomeness. He contributed a few times to Tweaker and I am sure to Sidewalk, and Doco too. He helped out immensely my company when we compiled a list of skateboard trivia for Nike SB. I feel an empty void right now, So I can’t comprehend what folk who – skated, filmed, shared beer or nandos with him, and those who were part of his fam, – must be going through right now. What ever he did seemed so completely solid, that it came as a massive shock that he has left us.

On behalf of Tweaker we dedicate the Wu track above, and send condolences to those who were close to him. RIP Bingo

Infographic: Skateboarding; Kebabs; Fried Chicken.

Gorm — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 06:57:42 +0000

Tweaker has been undergoing some extensive research, Inspired by both the 1980′s FBCC sticker: “Skateboarding Is Not a Doner Kebab”, and the recent research by Mr Alan Glass of Bristol in the Fried Chicken. We give you a statistical analysis of Chicken, Kebabs and Skateboarding, between the years 1960 and 2008. This data is pulled form the scanning of published books by google, and searches frequencies of the words “skateboard”, “kebab” and “Fried Chicken”. Fascinating stuff eh?

As you can see there is a direct corralation around 2005 between skateboarding and Fried Chicken.
