It’s that time of the week again, back to work after possibly the best weekend weather wise this year, but you’ve got another TOTBG episode to watch.
We all could of done with another day but hopefully this will make up for that:

So, we’ve found that the weekends don’t really get a look in on Whispers. Sorry. Must try harder.
Someone who doesn’t seem to need to try at all is Torey Pudwill. Pick up the latest copy of Sidewalk Mag from your local skateshop (or your mates local, I’m not picky) and check out the free dvd. It’s DVS‘ Dudes Dudes Dudes. DVS will be uploading it to their website soon, but isn’t it just SO much better to pop the dvd into the dvd player and watch it in a decent format?
Talking of Sidewalk, I was thinking about writing in to get a new pair of shoes. I reckon a new pair of kicks for 50 words about skating is well worth it.
Fellow forumer Mikey and I went and took photos for Sk8UK’s guide on ‘how to wax a curb like a pro’ yesterday. Check out the Skateboarding Guides for this soon.
I’m off to re-ink my fountain pen.
Well, summer really has hit us this week, huh! You’d better be out skating.
If you fancy getting a team together, Sk8UK are running a ‘Summer Challenge’ type-thing. Loosely based on Thrasher’s King of the Road. Could be fun, could fail, either way, sign up to the forums and get involved.
The Ripped Skatepark in Ravensthorpe got a feature on Crossfire courtesy of Phil Procter. Go check it out.

Finally, check out this little clip of Mouse extras.
Laters.
I know, I know. I’m sorry. I’ve been a bit slack. Thanks to Sean for saving the day.
Anyways, on my nightly shimmy around the most popular skate forums on the net, I found some interesting bits of information/gossip.
Firstly, Arto Saari has left Flip Skateboards for Alien Workshop. So, apart from Penny and Rowley, does that make their entire team under 21? They’re coming to the UK to skate Stoke Plaza on the 1st July. We can ask them directly. Secondly, Kris Markovich’s Crimson Skateboards is no more. We will await with baited breath for the next Markovich company. Probably something related to red and blood.
Enough of the boring industry stuff. Just sit back and watch John Cardiel courtesy of Thrasher. Someone get this guy a monument or something. Dude is the best skater to ever step foot on a board. For real. Disagree? Go watch all 16 episodes of his Epicly Later’d, then come back and apologise.
Finally, I just spotted these covers. Sick.
This weeks episode of Tales of the Black Glove is out now and seeing as it’s a Bank Holiday Blueprint have released something extra as a bonus.

It’s been suggested that most of the Whispers content is pulled straight from other forums, and I’d like to clear this up.
Yes it is.
Anyways, today’s featured video is stolen straight from Slap. More Alex Olson. Can anyone tell I’m a fan, yet?
Hey, I just noticed Stu Graham’s Creature Pro Deck is on sale in Slam! At a meaty 8.6inches, it’s not for the little boys (or girls… we’re not sexist here at Sk8UK).
Oops, did I just use Whispers to advertise? Ah well, Stu is worth it.
Also, to whoever turned off the rain for the southeast… Thanks. I’ll buy you a beer next time you’re in town, or, if you’re under 18, an orange juice with a little umbrella and a cherry.
Well that was a bit boring… using Whispers to advertise multicoloured wheels? Shame on you.
Whispers is for sharing feelings, emotions, and getting through the hard times together… those times when you’ve just broken your last kingpin and there’s a new park just opened 3 minutes from your front door.
Or just a dump for cool videos like this one, or maybe this one.
Nollie inward heel front board… What??
On a side note. If someone could turn off the rain, it would be much appreciated. Cheers.
