Transworld are doing the Annual awards for rippers again, and have announced the shortlist - more importantly, they are premiering the latest TWS dvd on the night they announce the winners, which means in a couple of months time i will get to see a new TWS DVD ("And Now") I have already got on back order!

wheres Bobby Worrest?



WHERE?

busy choosing his latest colourway for the Es/Krooked colab shoe he has out

got to love how theres only hawk in the TWS legend nominations

stoked inhabitants got best video.

Nick Dompierre has caught my attention lots, a great skater to watch who is yet to fail in impressing me when I see him skate.

thats something thats pre-decided by the pro/am skaters polled - i think the Gonz won it last time, and Steve Cab before that, I reckon Hawk would have got it sooner, but he was still competing in comps where as cab and gonz generally dont i guess. cant really argue with Hawk tho, he is a bit of a leg..end.

Theres no denying that most of the guys shortlisted are out and out rippers, but there are so many others that should be on that list!

yeah but sken, your Barca footage hasnt made it "out there" yet, so you missed out this year amigo ;o)

The best things come to those who wait

Seriously though, editing is underway, its just a case of do we make an edit/montage or do a video type thing were everyone gets a full section.

(Procter)to me, its just a case of more excuses, your in the north man, its harldy like you could be busy with something

Water doesnt fetch itself from the well you know

isnt that what northern women are for?
