Here it is as promised. Eddies a good un and when I told him I had loads of skate footage and that i would like to use it for an interview for stupid he agreed. Did the lad smashes it back in the day? Oh yeah, that speaks for itself, and he's still smashing it now. It seem's the night before the interview Eddie had been partying at Contort Yourself, so to disguise the aftermath he donned a rather fetching balaclava and proceeded to dance and dance and he's still dancing now. So, cheers Eddie Belvedere, and for those who don't know it, he's the front man in a punk band called Thrust with other Manc skate stars Marc Kendrick, Rob Smith and Kev Ely, thats fairly powerful, because their all fairly powerful........ see ya
Stupid's gonna do something else now
This should be Woody stepping it up. A massive boardslide on a 22 step rail, Castlefield, Manchester.. He should get a medal for skateboard bravery. As far as i know nobody has even tried it since...... crazy horse, the bails are frightening
The above has some powerful street skating. Meeting at the docks Liverpool, the skaters had built a make shift gap using the inside of two bins and the tops of two benches. Mr Howard Cooke wasted no time, clearing the gap, and increasing the space till it was the size of the river Mersey. Leo was there, he took some photos that became a poster in Sidewalk Magazine, around 2002. We met OllyTodd, Joel and my friend from Kendal. Then proceeded to tear up the police banks before my friend knacked himself trying to jump off a statue, listen to the locals laugh, proper Liverpool you know? The H footage is gold, so be nice and in the words of the beatles, spread the word, the word is ....

The Music is "The Duds," the song is "Lost in Your Mind," the skatepark is "The Ripped," Dewsbury, a new method of filming, named 'pump vision,'a session with Kendrick and Jim Sanders, and some funking Duds tunes, go check out the Ripped, its all concrete coping, its loud an colourful, a kind of abstract park that's high energy, a mix of ramp and street, its easy to roll around this place, go skate, now..
Like a proper stinking online zine, stupid bloody tuesday plans to update, on a tuesday, with some proper lurking footage, this week i brought four lines to the table, old footage, with storming lines from Joe Gavin(watch the steez on the switch tre) the ever mellow Tom Brown styles, the strictly hammered to the board with feet Kieth Miller and yours truly bombing a Cumbrian hill for skate soul power. Two out four lines have shit on the lense and 3 out of four are badly filmed, this is true and why would I try and beat the system so especially for you these have been badly filmed with crap on the lense. Cheers and keep posted as theres no stopping me now..
Cumbria is great, the Lake District is marvelous, all the fresh air, fells, lakes, cracked pavement and lack of skate facilities never put me off skateboarding, in fact the lack of things to do just made me want to skate more. Stupid has some archive footage featuring some hammers skateboarding from the likes of Tom Brown, Pete Rigbyand our finest export Olly Todd. I grew up skating with Olly, and he was (and still is) the most stylish marra around, I hope he don't mind me putting some 90's footage on Stupid (work in progress.) Sidewalk once featured an article on the Lakes, we toured around Cumbria, we filmed and Leo shot pictures, Pete Rigby ollied stairs, gaps, he is not scared to step up, Tom Brown just makes everything look easy and Olly once got the cover of Transworld, hooray for Cumbria, eh!
Its Ben Grove, he did it twice because I missed the first one, how goods that? The restaurant on the highest floor of Urbis didn't mind me filming. Bens well mannered, listen to how polite he is after landing the beast, thank you, no thank you all.
I like this footage so much its on both pages, hell yeah!
Why not I ask? why not? im off to eat burgers, peace out...
STUPIDBLOODYTUESDAY.CO.UK
Is mostly a platform for Stupidbloodytuesday films but also a hub for new talent and sometimes features skater made movies. In a way its an online STB gallery is a one man show so it's updated when possible, Stupidbloodytuesday is the copyright of Danny McCourt who is usually working his eyes out for nothing, thats stupid..
