Coatman's Blog

Switch over....

2009-03-18T03:10:00.000-07:00

Well fans, Coatman's Blog is officially drawing to a tearful close :'(

But its not over, as the new Team-Space blog is now up and running thanks to Charlie, and I'll be posting on there from now on, along with the rest of the motley crew.

I'll keep this blog here so you can look back on the old posts, but from now on if you wanna see all the usual stuff, for instance Sundays next 10 Tricks (which was just about won by ADs) it'll be on here.

Peace
Coatman

Well To start March off with a bang, Sundays will now be 10 Tricks day!
Basically Every week someone has to do to 10 tricks on anything they want (on the same day/session). Since this idea came from Mr. Andre Calvo, I present 10 Tricks with Andre Calvo...

Sundays are changing....

2009-02-28T12:26:00.000-08:00

...check back tomorrow for somthing new!

Post #100

2009-02-22T03:44:00.001-08:00

As its the 100th post on this blog, instead of the Sunday Skate Pic I've put together a quick blog offcuts edit for you, enjoy!

Post 99!!!

2009-02-20T02:32:00.000-08:00

Today's Forgotten clip is from 2005 I believe, The days when we spent all Summer skating, come rain or shine...

Here's Nick with this banging line in the rain that I'm sure you can remember..

The tribute continues...

2009-02-18T10:05:00.000-08:00

Today's clip is one I'm sure all you Skaterham heads remember from around 2004/5ish... Andre had probably been skating less than a year, yet he made this out of nowhere to win a T-shirt! Why don't you do these any more Calvo?

Anyone missing the Joe Show?

2009-02-16T01:21:00.000-08:00

Ed flipping Knightrider 4

I haven't forgotten, Have you??

2009-02-13T09:37:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's a bit late... who remembers the days when the amazing Mint Walk skatepark was built?

Back in 2002 (I think?) was the summer when Warlingham got its wonderful park, after we helped build the park, the summer was spent boardsliding the fuck out of the rail....

Featuring...Ollie, Joe and Myself!

Thursday Tribute...

2009-02-11T05:46:00.000-08:00

As we all know the old layout at Skaterham is gone for ever, some of you love the new layout, others hate it and the rest are somewhere lost in between! So I've deided to make Thursdays a tribute day to the old ramps and post old clips and photos of the stuff thats gone down on them over the years. (I was going to make a proper timeline edit but I can't be bother!)

So today's clip is of Joe from back in 2001/02ish where he learn these out of nowhere and they now are his signature move!

Camera Phone Footage...

2009-02-09T03:29:00.000-08:00

Well instead of a pic today I've got a camera phone Clip from a long while ago!

2009-02-06T01:49:00.000-08:00

Today's forgotten clip from my vault of wonders is of Ollie, This must of been around 2002ish back in the days when Ollie skated all the time rather than when hes not skiing or surfing!

R.I.P. 4ft..

2008-12-30T10:39:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Chaz, Clavo and I went down to Crawley for a freezing sesh, and then headed up to Skaterham (along with Felix, Daryl, Rains, Edmund and Coops) and gave the 4ft 1/4 and spine a immense last shred before it's gets destroyed. Was a SICK sesh everyone was ripping, highlights being Charlie nolling the spine, Felix absolutely destroying the 1/4, Calvo with his 'Cardiel' front 5's, Daryl sal flipping the spine and Rains pulled off a flip melon on it!!

Unfortunately I didn't film any of it cos I was skating as well.....but here's a bit of footage of the 1/4 from Saturday, RIP 4ft you served us well!!!

This and That

2008-09-07T01:57:00.000-07:00

Well yet again I haven't produced to goods on Friday so I'm sorry!

Not much has been happening recently, Andre's Back black as ever, Tuesday night at Skaterham was a banging sesh, and Joe and I went to Unit 1 this week, got a few bits of footage so you'll probably see those soon enough!

In other news on the left Drawing Boards has got a new graphic which is a tribute to the legendary Croydon spot Fairfield. I got one yesterday and it looks sick, and if you haven't already signed the petition to Save Fairfield then get on it and check out the Drawing Boards site and blog .

Well I'm off to begin another year at Uni tomorrow so updates may begin to slack along with my skating, but just before I go back we're all going to this comp at Skaterham, hopefully get some sick footage to post on here!

SHUT DOWN

2008-08-29T05:22:00.000-07:00

Tuesday night Felix and myself went down to Unit 1 for a sesh and Wednesday Joe returned from France so we went to Reigate for a little skate, no footage or anything. But yesterday Felix, Jake, Joe and I headed to London, skated Cantelowes for a bit then went to Southbank and the 'Shier' ledges! So since its Friday and I haven't done very well on the Friday random picture front...here's a few random piccy's from yeasterday!
