Originally the idea behind this video was to film Mike Clarkson and Tom Zealand up in Leeds and put out a shared part between the two. Things didn’t really work out that way for a few different reasons. Zealand went through multiple injuries including ankle, foot, knee, head etc. and Mikey very selfishly decided to start saving peoples lives by studying to become a doctor.

Luckily Big Jim (Silver) gathered more of the HUF troops and brought them up north on a cold and very wet November weekend. I’m not exactly sure whose idea it was to come to Leeds at the beginning of Winter but I should probably take some of the blame. It was tough going but we managed to get a few things and then spent the rest of the time in Spoons waiting for it to dry.

After that wet weekend this video was then basically filmed over a glorious few days in Manchester, a quick visit up to Newcastle, the odd few days here and there in London and then in Yorkshire whenever I could tear Mikey away from uni life in Hull.

Injuries have been quite a big part of this video project. Zealand hasn’t really skated in about a year and then Joel…well, he was on a tear for a while and then, as you’ll have read in Vague issue 9, he had that horrendous accident (read his interview HERE).

Thankfully they’re both on the mend and we’ll all be seeing more from them in the future. For the most though, we’ve been making do with Neil (Will) Creswick, Tom Delion, Tristan Rudman and Mike ‘Ripple’ Clarkson. They’re a good bunch and it’s always a fun time on the session. Thanks for making my job easier boys and much love to Jim for TM’ing hard and keeping everyone refreshed, fed and stoked!
