Before throwing an old VHS tape away the other day I fast-forwarded to the end to see if there was any old skate footage and was pleasantly surprised to find old clips between the TV shows. Back when I first got my video camera in 1992 I copied all of the raw footage on to a large VHS tape so I could reuse the camera tapes, a little while later I edited that down to other tapes and then recorded over the raw footage, sadly. Was good to find little, forgotten glimpses of this raw footage though. This one clip is a flashback to just what it was like skating the little mini at Chelmsford skatepark back then…
Steve Bailey left these shores six months ago for a life in sunny Australia. We sent him some questions to see what the owner of our favourite switch flips has been up to.
So Steve you’ve been in Australia now for six months what are you up to over there?
Hating life! naaa.. I’ve started the poor and social uni life. Up until uni i was just swimming and working on my car.
Have you been skating much? We miss your switch flips…..
Not as much as i would like to..
How’s the beard farming going?
Non existent.
Is there anything you miss about the UK?
The rain…? Just friends i think.
Do you remember anything you’ve filmed with us for the new video?
