Longstanding Leeds-based VX fondler and manual connoisseur Joe Allen has released his latest project ‘Passing Places’, filmed over summer 2023 as a follow on from Troubleshooting and premiered as part of the Leeds 2023 Civic Skateboarding takeover weekend and at Vladimir Film Festival, and you can watch it here for a lesson in obsessive spot unearthing. The level of crust is high enough that you could probably lose skin just by watching this one.
