It's about time...

C. J. Wellsmore has been around for a bloody long time and there has always been a lot of hype surrounding his name because he is widely considered part of the new wave of Australian skaters to take over from the greats such as Tim Ward, Tom Fry and Josh Clarke. Along with Rian Arnold, this guy has been praised for helping take skating to a whole new level. However, there have never been any lengthy video sections to back all the stories, until now.

Here is the evidence...

I think you will agree, he is the future.

Cooly G: A Woman of Many Talents

I had the pleasure of interviewing Cooly G ahead of her appearance at Ballers Social Club last week thanks to founder Joe Coghill. She is a sexy lady and has some skills on the decks but dear lord is the woman tight lipped. I must have interviewed her for over an hour and I couldn't even get her real name out of her. Talk about protective!

The Balky Mule

I had never heard of the Balky Mule before I interviewed him for The Skinny and I wasn't completely sold on his album. It is quite charming acoustic pop with little dashes of electronic samples but it just isn't my kind of thing. However, when I interviewed him I was pleasantly surprised by his interesting personality. The guy has a very amusing sense of humour and has quite an arsenal of interesting stories at his disposal.

Brett Dasovic Interview online

Interviewing Brett Dasovic made me realise why I fell in love with rollerblading all those years ago. He is one of the biggest skate geeks I have ever encountered. When we were passing questions back and forth for the article he kept dropping little bits of skate trivia into the conversation. "Did you know that Derek and Mike French once lived about five minutes away from my house but I never skated with them?" Priceless.

I love it when people geek out about skating as much as I do because it is people like that who are going to keep our sport going. People with passion who care about what we have created so much that they will do anything to keep it alive.

Our sport needs more people like Brett

Here is one of Brett's nice sections for your viewing pleasure.

CTV - In For The Kill Tour day 6 & 7 from ConferenceTV on Vimeo.

Billy O'Neil got hit by a car last year while skating in Spain. He hasn't been back on skates long but dear lord he is killing it. Here is some new footage of Billy back in Spain to prove that Barcelona will not defeat him twice. Jeff Dalnas came along for the ride and murdered some deadly drop rails. They are currently at the Chaz Invite in Liverpool and making their presence known.

Billy has picked up the unfortunate habit of referring to all women as "sluts". I think he may have picked this up from one of his English counterparts. We went out last night and Billy chatted up pretty much anything in a skirt and excitedly talked about how much easier it is to pull women in the UK compared to back home in New York. Billy is the kind of character you really need to meet to fully understand the sheer extend of his charisma and MAMMOTH personality.

I think the after party is going to be messy tonight...

Chaz Sands Invitational 2009

So, I am currently in Liverpool for the Chaz Sands Invitational at Rampworx Skatepark. I have been on the web update duties so visit Be-mag to read about the chaos that has taken place so far and the photographic evidence to prove it. So far I have witnessed pro skaters throwing bin bags at passing taxis, skate company owners street wrestling and female pro skaters groping random pretty girls outside night clubs. Good times!

Visit www.be-mag.com for all the action.

I will post all of the photos once I arrive back on home turf.

Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do...

Wait. Scratch that. There is nothing I won't do.

This is old but...

... I don't care. Thunderheist recently played at The Glasgow School of Art and they are the shit. MC Isis spits some explicit content over downright dirty electro and house cuts. This is music for people with smutty minds.

The promo is HERE.

Here is the video for their wondefully sleazy single JERK IT.



This video is pretty damn good too...
