Clarky Albion Issue 8 Overspill

After weeks of heated negotiations with the mocha-riocha-cappachacca-young-wow-hip-Fleet Street types down at The Albion we are pleased to present those snaps that didn't make the final print of issue 8. Hope our hard work was worth it - here's Clarky.

He studies maps.

He talks to the street cleaners, the skateboarders and even the prostitutes.

Pulley approved Icepick.

Gorton '88

Back to the Old School.

Behind Bars.

Much love for G Funk classics in Stretford. 

Skatepark sounds.

Nate's much loved collaborations have provided the soundtrack for endless rad action down the years. Munich is still mourning his passing.

Public Outings/Warnings

Party Political Broadcast: BNP

BNP? Radical Approach?....

 Accused by the Green Party of neglecting Britain's environmental concerns the BNP have adopted a radical 'on a wall we wrote, to secure your vote' in an attempt to cut down on their usual leaflet driven canvassing. Polls currently suggest mixed success.

Campaign Trail.

After a luke warm reception in Nether Alderley, Griffin and his BNP delegates head straight to a party stronghold - Hyde, Tameside. The mass-hysteria that greets us upon his arrival suggest that the people of this particular town are through with the follies of the looney Left and want answers...Fast.

Goin' to a Happening

Mystery Tobogganer

Barge dwelling, glass biting, scrap metalling, Pete bullying, pedal modifying, Downhill MTBing, endless chonging, self-tattooing and smoke-da-reefering madguy. Any idea? Answers on a postcard.

Action Round Up

Bruno Hoffman's T-shirt eases Loz through a steezy wall pop.

Not one to sit on the fence...Loz wallrides it! Hmmmfff....

Thrashplant, the meaning of pain, the way that I want you to die. 

How long can you last in this frozen water burial?

Niiiice over iiiiiice, guy.

Eddie C, Sam & Me

There's nothing better than strapping up the leathers and the smell of a 2 Stroke engine when it comes to taking time away from BMX blogging. After a sweet hook up from Moell-Dog and Van, me and Sam took off to Portland for a weekend of coffee, cruises and chills. Don't expect any any Fit/Cult drama...this was all about the ride.

Strangeways Vol. 1 - Much Hype

Urban Poetic Society feat. Mr Witticisms

Asked to explain the Society's objectives, Leader and self-confessed Banksy fan, Harvey Harford-Wells had this to say "Our aim is to both liven up the streets and make people take notice of what we have to say. Freedom of speech is just an unfulfilled promise of the ruling classes. We're forcing it upon them!"

Harvey continued "Cameron's Big Society has failed as did Blair and his cronies' tactics, the same goes for Major and Thatcher before them. All talk but no action. Rhetoric designed to keep people in line under the false impression that we have a say. Well we DO have a say and we're not going to be part of YOU'RE BUDGETED, BOX TICKING, MIND NUMPING REGIME!!!!!"
