Don't forget the Jam coming up ... http://www.caughtinthecrossfire.com/skate/word/6866 .... see the blog bellow .....

Board of the month !!?

Yeha ... Drawing Boards have got a review in Kingpin alongside some of the big hitters in the industry (Flip , Workshop etc). Although the review is kind of confusing (because they didn't change the writing from last months issue), our contacts in France tell us we got deck of the month over there... Cheers.

NON STOP

Big Thanks to Robin at Non Stop.. Nottingham's O.G skate shop has been there for over 15 years and we are hyped they are now stocking Drawing Boards (in fact between us and you they have the last "Drawing Boy" graphics we are ever going to sell in the shops), so all you Notts heads searching for Drawing Boards now know where to get 'em. Also check the footage of some of their team (and friends of the DB family) below:

Tents

Yeha ... Were back from the tour ... Jerry , Potts , James and Baker all summoned there inner beasts and pulled hammers out the bag despite lack of sleep , hang overs and sleeping in northern fields .... Props to Smay and Si for takin snaps and Nick Hayman and AD for filmin' .. James probably summed it up best when he said "This is what it's all about !!" even after we had been searching for a field to sleep in for well over an hour .. Pics will be knockin about on the web soon ... Nothing like a good nature poo ....(photo Smay)

Flames was born ready !!

James "Poochie" Thornton has been preparing for the tour by doing loads of skating . Shreading in the coldness of Swizerland then in the heat of Bilbao. Check his photos bellow and get ready for the onslaught ...

Save Fairfield Campaign

Just to let you know the "Save Fairfield" campaign is doing well ... It is featured in the CVA magazine ...The article may look abit cheesy but it definitely helps the cause as this magazine goes to the top bods who work for the council .. It's also distributed all around Croydon which will make the general public aware of our plight and hopefully we'll get more signatures on the petition .... http://petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=3846 ... If you haven't signed it yet jump on it !!

Thanks Smay for the photo ..
It also states that the contractors will be able to work together with the skaters to make the area skate friendly .... Which is basically what we want ..... Expect updates as things start to take more shape ......
