Here We Are Again – Big Push 2010
August 24th, 2010 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Back again (what, another year has already passed on by??) with the Big Push 2010. If you don’t know what this is then catch up right here with the words from the people running the contest and check out the video introduction plus last year’s winning video edit from the VANS team below.
» keep looking back for updates on the official Big Push 2010 page
“This year we have an extra team with I-Path joining last years six. We’ve also slimmed down the challenges and dropped the specific regions in favour of dividing the UK into North and South to give each team more time and space to simply go out skateboarding.
Each team is tasked with a variety of missions, including 10 obscure tricks for points, a possible three NBD tricks at famous spots in their assigned area (North or South) as well as a highest ollie competition, which will happen on the road.
As with last year, points accrued from completing the challenges set will count for half of each team’s individual score, with online voting accounting for the rest. Your votes will be added to these pre-existing scores to determine the overall winners – you are voting for your favourite edit – nothing else, so use your vote wisely.
The winning team of this year’s Big Push will score themselves £2000 prize money to share between the participants, as well as the cover of the Christmas mag and internet fame beyond compare.
The Big Push DVD will be cover-mounted on the October issue of Sidewalk, due out in shops on or around the 19th of October.
All the Big Push edits will be online from November 1st to allow those who haven’t seen the magazine to get involved in bigging up their favourite crew of shoe humans. Online voting will close on the 15th of November so don’t hang about.”

December 27th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Andy Scott is just one of those skaters that can ride all terrains and make it look so easy and stylish. He just has the skill to manipulate his board and body to do whatever he wants – at least it looks like that. With an incredible bag of tricks just waiting for him to throw another insane combo at us, it never gets boring to watch what he’s up to next. Here’s his part from the not so new (at least in this day and age) independent video effort “Baghead Flats” which was releaseed 2008 and shows some incredible skating from the Northern and Yorkshire UK scene.

Getting a bit of the Alzheimer in my older days – I almost forgot to post Crossfire’s annual X-Mas Jam which is taking place tomorrow, December 12th 2009 at the Bay 66 Skatepark in London, England.
Skating gets started at 12pm and goes on until 6pm with an unsponsored best trick competition and pro skater contests taking place in this time. Later on after what promises to be a great session the party goes on at The Metropolitan later on. I’m not going to waste my time copying and pasting the names of all ofthe top notch skaters who will be showing up, head over to the Caught in the Crossfire website to read all about it. Oh yeah, it costs 10 or 12 pounds to skate! Want to wet your appetite? Then check out some of the action from last year’s event!
