One of the local skaters here in Swansea broke his wrist a couple of weeks ago. Joe Maggs was skating the Castle Gardens 4 set when he managed to fall off and break both the bones in his forearm, one even came through the skin. He’s now semi-bionic like me (I’m up to 3 metal plates now!).

Seeing as he is off school at the mo I asked him to pick his five favourite skate sections, he didn’t disappoint with his selection and here they are for you…

David Gonzales – Extremely Sorry

Jerry Hsu – Bag of Suck

Chris Cole – New Blood

Brandon Westgate – State of Mind

Mike Mo – Fully Flared

Also if you are feeling brave there is footage of his slam complete with gory broken bone shots from what I hear, theres no way I am watching it! You have been warned but if you want to see it then click here.

What do you think of Joe’s favourite sections? What would you have choosen? Post in the comments…

I’m sure you’ll be glad to know that we now stock Fenchurch clothing. We got our order in last week and it’s real nice stuff. The brand was started back in 2000 by a group of friends…

“The result of many late-night sessions the idea to create our own brand is born. We already made our own clothes so we decided to take it to the next step and make clothes for people like us, who searched for a style they could identify with. We decide to call our brand Fenchurch after a part of London where we used to skate.” (read more).

They have come a long way in the last 10 years, by producing consistently excellent products they have gone from being a niche brand to a household name, even Paris Hilton loves a bit of Fenchurch!

We have a small but strong range of both mens and ladies clothes and accessories, from belts to jackets, tote bags to dresses. Hope you like them.

Gareth Winter, one of the dudes that works in the shop shapes his own boards. He’s just uploaded this video and we are proud to present it to you. It’s good to have people that really know what they are talking about working with us!
