16th January '06Footage update
This weekend was the first time I had a chance to use the Panny:
Saturday it rained so we skated in Tesco's carpark and the Roundy.
Sunday was dry but bitterly cold and wind as hell.
Have a ganda over on the footage page.
 
11th January '06Now in 3CCD
Got my Panny today! Stoked. I'm goanna be doing some filming this weekend if the weather is good and I'll whack the results up here. Hopefully it will be sunny so I can get some nice colours! I think we're going to be making a DVD again, but we will still film for mini-clips to go on the site.
I have been trying to find a code to get rid of the banners on the pages because they are damn ugly, but no luck. I've got a trick up my sleeve though!
 
8th January '06Update
A you will have noticed already, there is a new splash page on t'site - thanks to Max T. for the photo.
 
Yesterday some of us went up to London and had a beast of a skate. Cam was rocking a new Fracture deck because he snapped his Blueprint that he bought with Xmas money on the 5th day of having it! Have a ganda of the footage we got down Southbank 7 over on the footage page. I am stoked to know that that will be the last appearance of 1 chip footy on the site, as my spanking new Panny 3 chipper will arrive at my front door sometime this week.
 
1st January '062006
With the state I'm in now, I choose not to write an inspirational paragraph about last year and the year to come, instead I direct you to the whispers section in the new Sidewalk and your minds back to last night. That's more than enough for me to welcome this year with open arms and great anticipation of things to come.
 
Here's to 2006 -
Happy New year.
 
27th December '05The latest 'happs'
Right, Christmas is over now, so I'm sure you want to spend that money that nan gave you, or you could make a donation!
I'm sure you don't care, but I've got about £430 for my new camera at the moment, and I have ordered everything for it (tapes, stepping ring etc.) so all I need to buy now is the camera itself and the baby death!
 
Cam & Mike are heading up to Basingstoke tomorrow, and Cam is picking up Max's camera which means we will have real pics up on the site, instead of rubbish DV stills.
 
Me and Cam are entering the N26 Winter Challenge, which should be a laugh, and hopefully we'll actually film some skateboarding. This should make up for the poor videos that the site has been updated with in the past few weeks.
 
I'm also thinking about re-doing the site slightly when Cam gets his camera; re-do the pictures page, add a splash page and possibly get rid of the boring white background.
 
21st December '05More mess-about site footy
Head over to the footage page for some more mess-about site footy from today.
 
18th December '05More stuff for sale
Fancy any of these?
 
17th December '05New set-up
I found a picture on Perception of what the main part of my new set-up will look like:
 
A capture cam, step down ring and a head cleaner are on their way to me now!
 
16th December '05New Set-up progress/pointless information
Right, I'm 2 sevenths of the way there (sort of). I've ordered my capture cam and a step-down ring so I can fit the baby death to my new camera. All I need to order now is the camera itself, the baby death, tapes, a head cleaning tape and another battery, all of which I can afford, apart from the camera.
 
16th December '05Update!
Last night, Sam sent me some footage that him and Cam filmed at roundy for the site. So I just whacked the clips together over on the footage page. This video features Cam snapping another deck.

3rd December '05Footage
Today, we filmed lots of random rubbish, just for the hell of it. Check out the footage page to see mongo pushing and ollies on flat.
 
2nd December '05I wish...
...I had some footage to edit. I've literally used all of it up, and I'm probably not gonna be able to go skate/film this weekend either due to adverse weather conditions.
 
Camera saving progress: Right, so I've sold some PS2 games, making me £42, and I'm gonna whack the rest of them up on eBay this weekend. Also it's my birthday on the 19th of this month *cough cough* *hint hint*
Cam will hopefully be getting a digi-cam this Xmas, so then we'll get some real pictures on the site.

21st November '05Camera nonsense
My camera at the moment is basically crap. 1 chip, digital 8, practically no manual features, worn down heads and now the tape deck is starting to fuck up, so I'm saving up for a GS400 Baby Death set-up, which is gonna cost around £900 in total. Any donations will be gratefully welcome!

Since we're not saving footage for a DVD or issues or anything like that, I'm gonna edit up a montage with all the footage you shouldn't have seen already. It should be up in the near future.
 
6th November '05Update!
I remembered to update the site for once! Nothing good to say though, except the new Crossfire site went up a couple of days ago. If you haven't already then check it out!
 
29th October '05Winter
You know it's finally winter when it gets dark at 4.30 - don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight!
 
28th October '05Gay JavaScript
Arrrggh! The window that the London clip opens up in is too big for the video, but even when I edit the JavaScript it still stays the same. Looks like we're gonna have to deal with it!
 
28th October '05London trip
"London hates me" -- Cam
Last time Cam went to London, he snapped his kingpin within 5 minutes and couldn't skate for about another 2 hours. This time, he popped a bearing, but continued to skate, which would explain why his wheel kept falling off. His wheel bolt also kept falling off, then he lost it but had a replacement, then he lost that one but had another replacement, which he couldn't get on because it was cross-threaded, but he managed to jam it on by smashing it with the end of a bottle. He also kickflipped the 7 about 5 times, so he wanted to get it in a line, but it was too busy so he gave up, then when it got less busy he was like; "Max, you might as well film me just flipping it, It will take about 3 minutes; I can do it almost every go". He landed one, but he thought he clipped the bottom step, so he went for it again and snapped his deck.
 
Footage wise we hardly got anything, so I just whacked together what we did get into this mini clip:
 
26th October '05English?
Haha! I just checked the site stats, and look at the countries that gave us our last 100 hits:
Most of the hits haven't even come from England!
I think I better start writing the site in different languages...
Cheers for visiting guys.
 
26th October '05Laaandaaan!
Tomorrow, some of us and a few other mates are heading up to London for a nice lil skate trip. Hopefully we'll get a mini clip up here Friday or the day after. That's if we get footy, mind!
 
24th October '05Sam's footage
Sam has sent me some footage over MSN, but unfortunately I can't edit it due to poor compression settings/wrong file type/clips not long enough etc. etc.
...so here are the best bits raw.
 
 
 
24th October '05More DV Stills
Just added a couple new DV stills to the picture slideshow.
 
21st October '05Presidential speech tips
Haha! Check this out.

19th October '05Picture perfect
Check out the brand spanking new picture page!
 
19th October '05Ramble On
I read a letter in the 'Ramble On' section in the new Sidewalk, which had a list of 10 things you should do before even considering quitting skating. If you haven't read it yet, or don't own the new Sidewalk, then here it is;
 
1) Skate all through the night
2) Drop in on vert
3) Snap a deck
4) Skate abroad
5) Try something you have never done
6) Hurt yourself
7) Try and build a piece of skate equipment
8) Bomb a hill
9) Teach someone to skate
10) Don't quit
 
Also, later on this evening check back to witness a shiny new picture page! ...but in the mean time the navigation links at the top of this page won't be working.
 
 
13th October '05Desktop Background
I was messing around with Photoshop and made a little edit of Luke's kickflip down Alton 8 - perfect for a desktop background!
800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
 
12th October '05Geekery
Another new iPod has hit the shelves. This one plays video!
 
9th October '05Alton
Today, Charlie, Luke and Max were in Alton with Ian & Max from Skate Basingstoke. We got some footage from the old park and some footage on an 8 set. Luke managed to flip it 3rd attempt, and Max (B'stoke) sent some sick 180 variations down it too.
 
Max (Fiasco) edited the footage into this mini clip:
Main filming by Max, other footage supplied by Rory (cheers mate) which was filmed by himself and Ted.
Featuring Max (B'stoke) and Luke.
 
Also, Ian took these photos (cheers mate) - click to enlarge:
Luke: Kickflip
 
Max: Half-cab
 
Max: BS 180
 
Max: FS 180 (unlanded)
 
9th October '05Entertainment
While on the Sidewalk forum I came across some good stuff.
This website and this video.
 
3rd October '05Editing
I've just recently got Adobe Premier & After Effects, and was playing around with them when I ramped the lush 360 flip by Luke.
 
 
2nd October '05Oops
I haven't updated the site in ages because there hasn't been anything to update it with. This is just an update saying that we're all alive and the site is still being looked after.
 
24th September '05Haslemere footage
Today, Mike, Cam, Max, Luke, Alan, Charlie and Milo skated Haslemere and got another montage worth of not-good-enough-for-DVD footage, and a short clip of a driveway train. Both are now live from the footage page, and are good news for dial-up users as they are under half the size of what they would normally be, of course I had to spare a bit of quality but they're not unwatchable.
 
23rd September '05Uber pop in London
I've been on the Sidewalk forum allot recently, and it's quite unbelievable how much of a fucking beast Andrew Brophy is. According to this topic, he's frontside 180'ed UP Southbank 7! He's also frontside 180'ed over the cobbles next to to the set (Doco, issue 52) and Switch ollied the whole of the slightly humped manny pad there as well (Sidewalk, issue 108). There's also some information of stuff he's almost done in this topic.
Also on the forum, someone waked up a bit of footage of their mate ollieing the skate stopped 6 at shell. Gnarly! (found in this topic)
 
22nd September '05Cam steals from Rune Glifberg!
Well basically Cam's dad lives in Denmark, and knows Rune Glifberg's brother. So this morning Cam got a parcel shipped over all the way from Denmark with a bunch of free Rune goodies! He got a T-shirt Rune wore in a comp, and a few signed stickers. He might be getting another parcel in a month (maybe a deck and some trucks)!
 
21st September '05Slow as rocks
I just realised that dial-up users must have to wait about an hour for one of the videos to download! Sorry, I can't be bothered to re render/compress/upload/write JavaScript for the Portsmouth montage, but in the future, if the video is going to be quite long, I will compress it so it suits you dial-up users.
 
20th September '05Footage!
I have re-done the footage page so now it follows the trends of sites like PavementTrout! We are gonna be getting more footage for the site when we are out skating, but not major hammers, just a trick or two to keep the site freshly updated. Cam describes this footage as 'crap footage to stick on the site'. Also be sure to check out the new montage from the footage got in Portsmouth on the weekend, it's now live from the footage page! I forgot to add in yesterdays news about Portsmouth, that Luke spontaneously ollied off a 1 story roof into grass and snapped his deck! We didn't film this, because, as I said he just spontaneously did it. Luckily he was able to blag a second hand deck from...dare I say it...Route One.
 
19th September '05Finally an update!
Sorry for not updating the site in a while, I've been busy re-formatting my PC. Anyway, this weekend Mike, Max, Luke and Cam got loads of footy in Portsmouth. Most of it not good enough to make the DVD (if we're making one that is!) so we will be making a montage for the site within the next couple of days.
 
11th September '05"Fun" at Haslemere
Just made a sort of teaser thing out of a clip we got at Haslemere today.
 
8th September '05More iPod geekery
After taking a hard bashing, my iPod headphones have finally decided to give in.
While on the net I managed to come across some VX1 porn!
 
8th September '05iPod geekery
Just been on the Apple site and would like to share with you the new iPod.
 
4th September '05Mother nature footage
Check out the weather we're having!
Look at the still below, if I hadn't told you, you would never had guessed it was at night!
 
3rd September '05DIY spots for the winter
Cam, Sam & Mike are lucky enough to have a place to skate when it rains - the inside of a roundabout covered by a fly-over motorway. Click. They have now gone and made it even better by angle ironing a small section of the brick ledges that runs around the outside. Click. With more and more spots getting knobbed, it seems DIY spots are the future, and these lads have made a good'un where they can skate when the British winter kicks in.
Nice one.
 
3rd September '05DV stills
Just added a few more DV stills to the riders page. And check out Pavement Trout, which is linked from the links page. Fresh.
 
2nd September '05DVD?
I've been talking to Cam on t'internet, and were not sure if we're still gonna be doing a DVD. We're gonna keep filming for the hell of it and see what turns out...
 
1st September '05Almost mongo free
Now that Cam has left the dark side, we are currently working on converting Charlie! Soon we will be officially mongo free. (except for switch, but that doesn't count)
 
31st August '05Dv stills
I've just uploaded some DV stills to the rider's page. Check them out.
 
31st August '05New site up!
We have decided not to have any interviews/questions, or pages belonging to each person, although, we have sorted out some of our footage, and a few of the clips that will not make it to the main feature of the DVD (either because of poor filming/video quality, or the tricks have been out-done) have been put on the footage page. These clips have been rendered to a smaller file size, but with more visual quality than the clips on the old site.
Once you get bored of this site, check out the vast amount of new links on the links page.
Thanks for looking!

31/8/08 - Change of mind! Version 2 later tonight... (Whole site may be offline for a few minutes while version 2 gets uploaded)

Sorry! New site not done. Soon...

 

26/8/05 - Version 2 almost done! We've just got to get a few more interviews done for the riders section, and it's done! I'm aiming for it to be up on the 31st of this month, but don't hold your breath.

 

19/7/05 - It was raining today, so I've been working on version 2 all day. I got quite a lot done, but the only bit left that I've got to do are the riders profiles. It should be soon...

 

18/7/05 - Not really much happening at the moment, version 2.0 is about half done, hopefully it should be up by the end of the summer holidays.

 

13/8/05 - Save Stalin Square. Please take 1 minute of your time to sign this petition. Even if your not a skateboarder, sign it anyway, it will help skateboarders everywhere. More info here.

 

11/8/05 - Cam has done something not too healthy to his ankle. He landed awkwardly pop shuviting a bench. It's not broken so he shouldn't be out for too long. Get well soon Boss.

Also, for the version 2.0 site, the videos will be better quality and a smaller file size. Good news for you dial-up users!

 

8/8/05 - Sorry for not updating the site in so long, I've been staying at Cam's house all week. We have been filming hard for our video, which is not going to be a web video as we previously thought. Originally we thought of doing issues and just sticking them on the site, but after a few arguments we agreed on making a DVD. Although the main feature on the DVD will not be feature length (i.e. 45 mins), it will be about a couple of songs long (depending how much footage we get) with an opening montage, and extras such as unused and random footage. We will keep you posted on the progress of the DVD and upload some trailers in the near future.

version 2.0 of the site is still in progress and should be completed soon.

 

31/7/05 - This weather is shit! I swear it's September. If the weather becomes proper summer weather next week we are hopefully going to get lots of footy for Issue 1. version 2.0 is coming along nicely with a few of the pages done. We need more questions for the riders section so don't hesitate to send 'em in!

 

27/7/05 - We have had some more question emails and I think people are getting the wrong idea, we are looking for questions that actually relate to the person you're asking them to, ie. 'Cam, what's the story behind your eyebrow piercing?' etc.

version 2.0 is still a work in progress, with only the basic structure of the site finished. It should be done within a few weeks...

 

24/7/05 - 2 words; SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!!

More words; thanks to Rory Wannerton who is the only person to have sent an e-mail with a question to the site yet! C'mon, get sending!

 

21/7/05 - Fiasco version 2.0 will be a complete re-make of this site with a different theme (seen graphic on 20/7), old content, different content and some new content.

In version 2.0 we will be wanting to change the interview questions that appear on the team's pages, so stealing from the Blueprint site (sorry!);

We're wanting to sort out the rider profile section of the website with some new and insightful interviews from Fiasco riders that you actually want to read! In other words no name, age, home, current set-up type questions! So, why don't you ask the questions?
All you need to do is forward a question you want answering to here (fiasco_mail@yahoo.co.uk) stating which member of the Fiasco team you want to answer it.
Please also put your name if you want to be recognised for the question too!
Ok look forward to your questions, make em funny, interesting, or even plain bone but either way it should, hopefully, work out good!

Don't hesitate and get sending!

 

20/7/05 -

 

17/7/05 - The weekend's over again. But for most people this is the last weekend with school after it for 6 weeks!

On Saturday Mike, Charlie, Max, Cam, Milo, Rui and Sam entered the comp at Haslemere. It was a good comp with Sam coming 3rd and Charlie getting the 'Best effort' award. Cam, Sam and Mike's friend from Southsea, Louie (about a 4 foot year 8!) came second in the comp and got a Blueprint deck, Blueprint tee, Blueprint hat and a pair of size 5 accels! Nice one! Only 2 inliners were going to skate in the inline comp, so for a laugh Max entered on a friend's pair of blades and came a respectable third, despite completely taking the piss. Unfortunately there were no prizes for the inline comp as not enough inliners turned up.

After the comp we went to Camelsdale's ghetto mini ramp where Louie let lose his transition skills.

 

And Today some of us went to check out Fleet's new skatepark. It's a pretty good park apart from the material used for the floor melts in the heat, so if you land with force your board will just sink into the ground, and with speed you'll go flying.

 

15/7/05 -  It's the weekend again! To start off this joyous time we have uploaded a short clip of some footy Cam got on the Godalming mannie pad a couple of weekends ago.

Apologies in advance for the bad exposure (either being under exposed or over). I'm just gonna admit it, I messed it up.

 

14/7/05 - CRAP! I haven't updated the site in ages again. Well, there's quite a lot going on at Crossfire at the moment. There is a comp at Haslemere skatepark this Saturday, which Milo is entering, and maybe some other people from Fiasco if they feel like it. Some people (who go to private school) are already enjoying their summer holidays, but for most of us our summer holidays begin towards the end of next week. Can't wait! Great footy of the Flip demo at the works skatepark over at Sidewalk. And thoughts of a Fiasco 0.2 site are possibly happening..

Just spoken to some people on the phone and through t'internet on MSN, and Mike and Sam are entering the Haslemere comp on Saturday as well, Luke might also be coming, and Fleet's new skatepark opens on Sunday with another comp!

And I heard that people are bitching about Mike's 'nollie flip' in his line, but you'll be pleased to know it's not a nollie flip, it's a nollie pressure flip, so it has a right to look strange!

 

8/7/05 - I don't mean to be offensive to Charlie or Cam, but SORT IT OUT!

And Danny Way is jumping the Great Wall of China tomorrow! - Click

 

7/7/05 - There is one bit of extremely good news and one bit of extremely bad news about London (which you should already know). The good news is that we get the Olympics in 2012. This means we should be getting get some more skate spots! Click and click. The bad news, quite obviously, is the attack on London earlier today.

Moving on to some better news, tomorrow is the start of the weekend and also the start of NASS! Congratulations to those who managed to get tickets in time, and have a fun!

Also Mike got this line filmed and wanted it to feature on the site, so there you go!

 

3/7/05 - Sadly another weekend draws to a close. I hope you all made the most of it!

 

28/6/05 - Max's nollie nose manual from the Friday footy montage has magically turned itself into a JPEG and thumb nailed itself to the bottom of his page.

 

27/6/05 - Skate Basingstoke have just released their first DVD. I suggest you get it while it's hot!

 

Also, Ben Kitching (X-Fiasco member) has a new website in the making. Go Skateboarding will feature footy, pics and news from the local area and should be pretty good when it's done.

 

26/6/05 - About an hour before I wrote this Alan did the Sainsbury's triple set. As far as we know he is the first person ever to ollie these stairs. You gotta have pretty fast feet to stick it!

 

More good South Bank news!

And some bad Southsea news

 

24/6/05 - There IS a reason why there haven't been any updates in ages; long story short, my internet has been down since Tuesday, and only today I have it back, so here are the updates that should have appeared over the past few days:

23/6/05 - Today is the website's half birthday! How exiting! with almost 10,000 hits I reckon it has been a quite a successful half year.

22/6/05 - Yesterday was  'Go Skateboarding Day'. I hope everyone at least came into contact with a plank of wood, chunks of metal and 4 circles of urethane. Or even better, you could have gone out skating and learned a new trick.

 

20/6/05 - Yes, tomorrow is 'Go Skateboarding Day'! There are a hell of a lot of events happening everywhere, so if you can, get your self involved! If you can't, then at least make sure you go out skating even if it's just for a bit.

Here are a few related links, but not many. Do your own searching!

Also I have just fixed Cam's tré flip sequence on his page, | was only just told that it didn't work!

 

19/6/05 - On this spectacularly boiling weekend, Charlie got some footage for the first time in ages. You see, at Godalming, the small crappy rail that no one uses has been taken out. Despite the extreme sketchy-ness of the rail, Charlie decided to bring out the big guns and gap to boardslide it.

You can also see more of this rail in the picture section of Charlie's page.

 

14/6/05 - Almost not updated for a week! I'm glad I remembered, what sort of site would this be if I left it for a week?

Well I don't think there is any news, apart from what I found here. Who wants an iPod when you can have this running after you?

 

8/6/05 -  Hit Caught in the Crossfire > Skate Zine > Interviews > Chris Cole for footage of the Zero & Mystery Demo at Southbank. If you look closely you will see Max, Milo, Mike, Sam & Cam.

 

7/6/05 - Luke's 10 set from the montage 2 updates ago is now in picture form on his page. That's about it really.

 

6/6/05 - Today holds the first day back to school after a week off (unless you're one of the lucky bastards who got an inset today), but it's not all bad! for most people there are only 7 school weeks, that's 35 days at school, until the summer holidays! And another day to look forward to is Go Skateboarding Day. The only down side is that it's on a Tuesday, meaning we have school. Why the hell isn't it on a Saturday or Sunday?

Moving on, I have grabbed some stills out of the footage that the Southsea lot have got, meaning Mike, Cam & Sam have new pics on their pages. Go have a gander!

 

Also I now have the footage from Sam's camera, so I'll be making some new pictures to go on the member pages.

 

4/6/05 - Yesterday Luke, Mike, Max, Cam, Milo and Sam took a little trip to Guildford and Godalming. We got much more footage than we planned to get, in fact, because we hardly ever get footage of these amounts in a day, we have made a little video/montage with what we filmed.

After watching you may be disappointed with the last trick, although we have an explanation. We got kicked out of the spot, and when we were going to go back when the shop had closed, it started hammering down with rain. Sam said that next time we go back he will try it again.

Skaters (In order of appearance): Luke, Sam, Max, Mike

 

2/6/05 - London 2012: Back the Bid.

We just have!

 

1/6/05 - Just realised that I haven't updated the site for ages, so here's all the latest news:

I haven't got round to doing the video pop up things yet.

Luke and Max were planning to get some footy today but the rain kicked in. (I know this isn't really news as the Southsea lot get tonnes of footy almost everyday)

Charlie got to the final round of the under 16s comp at Alton.

Well that's about all the team news I can think of. For general skate news pick up your new June edition of whatever skate mag(s) you read, and you can also read news on the sidewalk site.

 

27/5/05 - Today was a SCORCHER! First proper hot day for ages, and to put the icing on the cake, it's half term!

 

25/5/05 - At the moment I am thinking of making all the videos appear in new windows the size of the video (if you don't know what I mean, then check out the videos on the Blueprint site). I think I have sussed how to do it but it will take a good few hours to do it to all the videos (a few hours I don't have), so I will try and get it done as soon as possible. I will try and make good use of the extra time I will have during half term.

 

23/5/05 - Good things happen in twos, or something like that.

 

22/5/05 - Unfortunately another weekend draws to a close. Although after this weekend we can go back to school bragging about how we saw a sick Zero and Mystery demo.

Cam, Sam, Mike, Max & Milo had just planned a day to South Bank to have a good skate and get some footage for a montage. When we got there we were psyched to hear that the Zero and Mystery team were coming down later on for a demo. We wanted to get as much skating done as possible before the demo but the on and off rain stopped us from skating anywhere else but the 3 set at the top of South Bank for about 15 minutes. The only piece of footy we got was Sam flipping the 7 because after that it got too busy and too full of pros to film anything else.

The demo was absolutely sick, and with us front row on the ledge next to the stairs we will almost defiantly appear in the background of whatever magazine covers the tour.

 

19/5/05 - This Saturday Cam, Sam, Mike, Max and hopefully Milo too will be 'hitting up' London. If we get a decent amount of footage we will probably make a little montage and stick it on the site. Also hopefully all of the footage on Sam's camera will reach Max's computer so we can stick some pics and maybe some clips up here too.

 

18/5/05 - From experiences today, I know that if you have a screen res. lower than 1280x1024, and use Internet Explorer, you will have to scroll sideways on the video page. However if you have a screen res. lower than 1280x1024 and use Mozilla Firefox you won't have to scroll sideways on the video page. But because the majority of people use Internet Explorer rather than Mozilla Firefox, I have rearranged the screen shots on the video page to fit 800x600 resolutions, for your convenience. Curse you fools with small screens!

 

17/5/05 - The video page has been updated! Check out the old videos in QuickTime and also 1 new one. You lucky lot!

We will be changing the format of the videos on the video page to .mov (QuickTime). The only bad thing about that is that the file size will be slightly larger but I think everyone will be able to cope. Expect the changes to happen soon.

If you don't currently have QuickTime then you can download it here.

 

16/5/05 - While 'surfing the net' I came across 2 things which could cheer you up if you are having a depressing Monday: Click here if you are a camera geek, and/or here if you just love those ringtone ads!

 

14/5/05 - Extremely good news for people who skate Southbank.

 

13/5/05 - I hope everyone proved that Friday the 13th ISN'T unlucky by going skating and NOT having any harsh slams.

If you haven't already then you need to go to the Blueprint site and watch the video of Mikey doing a backlip nosegrind. Maybe not the best of videos but it is extremely tasty! Alternatively instead of going to the Blueprint site and hunting it down, you can click here.

 

11/5/05 - As you may have noticed, the site has a shiny new navigation bar to improve the sex appeal of the site by 10%.

I'm not sure weather this is because of the new navigation bar or if it was like this before, but people with screen resolutions of 800x600 will have to scroll sideways on the friends page. Deal with it.

 

7/5/05 - Yesterday's news today!

It's Friday once again and for everyone in year 9 today was their last SATS exam!! Everyone go skate, then put on some loud music and have a party!

 

2/5/05 - Good luck to everyone who has their SATS this week, although it doesn't matter what you get because these tests are extremely unimportant in my view.

 

30/4/05 - Today Charlie did a handrail. Well, sort of. He put a bench half way down the stairs and ollied off that onto the rail. Unfortunately the only means we had of recording this was a camera phone. I think we will have the picture up here soon.

And please do yourself a favour and go skating this bank holiday Monday.

Oh and sorry for not updating in almost a week, I was struggling to find anything to write about.

 

24/4/05 - I herd the funniest thing at a friend's house today. A cover of Chop Suey by... Avril Lavigne!! How can a pop "star" even think about doing a System cover? You've got to be out of your mind to even attempt it, let alone perform it live to an audience! If you can, download it. It's hilariously appalling.

 

23/4/05 -  Cam thought the site would look better in this font, so, here we are with a new font.

"I'll knife you with my fork!" -- Milo

 

21/4/05 - Check out the trick & slam of the week at Caughtinthecrossfire. Gnarly stuff!

 

20/40/5 - Blueprint are STILL premiering Lost And Found!

 

19/4/05 - C'mon! there must be something to update the site with! This is just a waste of time.

If you want news from the skateboarding world, then go read Sidewalk!

 

18/4/05 - I did say that I would keep the site updated even if it was with pointless news, so here we go. It was a rather nice day here in the Liphook area, and most likely in Portsmouth as well, where Mike, Cam and Sam like to dwell.

 

17/4/05 - Today was a rather good day for those who went to Guildford. Cam was rocking a poison set-up, and flipped a 6 with it! (see his page) Luke had tonnes of slams backside 180ing the same set, he landed a sketchy one, then next attempt gave himself a harsh dead knee so gave up.

 

16/4/05 - Ok, I really need to get back on-point with the updates, even if it means updating with pointless news.

Tomorrow some of us are skating with a camera at hand, and hoping to catch some 'extreme moves' on tape.

We still don't have Sam's footy so don't expect a lot of new content any time soon.

Click here for a still of the frame before Luke landed on his board attempting the handrail.

 

11/4/05 - Ben has decided that he doesn't want to be in the team anymore, so fair enough.

Luke has attempted to noseslide his first handrail but ended up sacking himself. Surprisingly he sacked himself on his vertical board and not the rail.

And to those people who have read the Route One discussion below, they now have lots more stock (apparently they were changing there stock warehouse or something like that).

 

7/4/05 - Click here for a discussion about Route One. Support your local scene and buy skater owned.

Also Luke, Mike, Max, Cam and Sam are skating Southsea tomorrow and Saturday. Hopefully going to get some good footy. We should be getting all of the footy off Sam's camera soon so we will put some more pics up and a few video clips, but want to save the rest for some random montage.

 

6/4/05 - If you want something productive to do while on t'internet, then join the Sidewalk forum. It's rather very good!

 

3/4/05 - We haven't updated the site for 5 days (sorry about that). The main reason is that we have been too busy (being the easter holidays) and the fact that we have nothing to update the site with. This is just an update to say that we haven't forgot about the site.

 

29/3/05 - Today has brought the first day of rain this holiday. Apparently it's going to be wet in the south for most of this week which is bad news for all of us.

On a brighter note we have a new friends pic of Max from Skate Basingstoke. Cheers Max.

 

27/3/05 - Today brings good news!

1) Luke has a new pic for the first time ever since the site has been going. See it on his page.

2) It's Easter! Just an excuse for the chocolate companies to make money, but still, you might receive the odd Easter egg free of charge from your relatives.

3) The clocks have gone forward an hour, despite confusion, we get an extra hour of sunlight. Use it wisely.

 

24/3/05 - We have a new friends pic of Ted Brine which was taken all the way from Italy. (Edited here)

Also it's the Easter holidays now, which means lots more skating, lots of chocolate and not having to wake up early for school!

Sam is getting his new computer tomorrow so he can capture all the hammers he has on his camera! We will most likely turn some of them into pics but save the rest for footy in promos and what-not.

 

23/3/05 - I have just been hunting around skate shops to find a new deck, and I've realised how annoying it is when you can't find or can't remember good sites. So I have added some more links to the mail-order section to help you if you are looking to buy new skate stuff.

 

21/3/05 - Sometimes, when surfing the web, you are confronted with a pop-up, usually telling you that you can win something by clicking it. Most of these now use the iPod as a way to make you click their advert. The other day I was confronted with a pop-up that said 'Click to claim your free 40Gb Apple iPod Photo'. I was amazed at the stupidity of this advert. iPod photos only come in 30Gb and 60Gb models. Pffft I thought. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!

And click here to see one massive blade jump. (Yes blading, I know, but wait till you see it!) Thanks to Ted for the link.

 

20/3/05 - Ben's interview has been taken down. He doesn't want it because hardly any of the questions relate to skateboarding.

Also another link added. Mingers.com!

 

19/3/05 - Another new link added to the links page - 'The Yorkshire Scene'

Also Sam has his camera, making it the third in the team, but we won't have footage from him until he gets his new computer in a couple of months.

And bad news, but not too bad. The 8, 3 and 5 sets at Guildford Uni have been skate-stopped, but not very well. All they've done is put 2 squares of blind bumps directly in front of the stairs (no little gap in between like Shell Centre) so with a bit of speed the 3 and 5 are still do-able. Luckily, they're the only stairs in the Uni (to our knowledge) that have been skate-stopped.

 

18/3/05 - 2 new links added to the links page. Check 'em.

 

17/3/05 - It's nearly that time again! Many of us are starting to feel the feeling that summer brings.

 

15/3/05 - Check the videos page for a brand new small montage! (Music courtesy of Rui)

 

14/3/05 - Rainbow Man! More fun than a cardboard box.

 

11/3/05 - Happy red nose day! We could have done something exiting like change all the green on the site to red, but that was to much effort. So we have done it the half-assed way and just changed the date to red. Festive or what?

It's the weekend again, and yes, you guessed it, like we say every weekend, we are hoping to get new footy.

You may have noticed that we there have been no new pics recently. I think it's because we are trying to save the footy for promos etc. so when you see a promo you won't be like 'yeah, I've seen that pic on the site, do something new!' Only major hammers will have pics on the site now, but there will probably be quite a few exceptions.

 

7/3/05 - New link added to the links page. Sick skate site from Bristol (This Skate) Check the videos some are pretty sick.

 

6/3/05 - Some more links have been added to the links page, check some of them if you're bored of MSN and want some real internet fun!

And for those who care, we have some new footage.

 

5/3/05 - We are on the links page of the Southsea Skatepark website! - Click

We haven't got any new footage today but some of us have got some stuff planed to film tomorrow (weather permitting).

 

2/3/05 - There's nothing new because of the stupid rain/snow!

 

28/2/05 - If you go to the other pages you will see nice new titles to go with the theme of the site.

Also Happy Birthday to Sam!!

 

27/2/05 - Charlie's 7 set is up on the video page and is ready for viewing. Also any problems you might have had watching with Max's ollie nose dial-up have been sorted.

It's Sam's Birthday on Monday and he is getting a video camera! So expect to see more pics of Sam Cam and Mike in the near future.

 

25/2/05 - It's the weekend again! Yay! Well yet again we will be hoping to get new footy. We got a couple of pieces today but they won't be appearing on the video page as we don't want to give all our footy away!

Also thanks to everyone who has been on the site - check the hit counter - over 5000 in just over 2 months!

 

24/2/05 - There are now some handy little shortcuts on everyone's page taking you down straight to the pics to save about 0.75 seconds of your life.

I was bored so I made this sentence with hyperlinks for every word I say. Fun eh?

 

23/2/05 - It has been snowing on and off for the past 3 days but none has settled! That means no days off school and no fun.

And most of us thought that 'Chavs' program was complete crap.

We are approaching our 5000 hits mark. Thanks to everyone who has been on the site!

And there aren't any new pics or videos.

 

21/2/05 - Mike has a video on the video page now. Check it!

Also there is this program on tonight called 'Chavs'. It's a documentary on townies and should be a laugh. 9.00PM - Sky One

 

20/2/05 - Rui's page is back up complete with new questions.

 

19/2/05 - James is no longer a member of Fiasco. Really sorry James. Although you can find his boardslide on the friends page.

Also Milo has a new pic and you can see the video of that on the video page.

See the friends page to see why not to buy air core wheels. Cam's wheel (Rodney) demonstrates why.

There is another friends pic of Alan doing an uber-poped backside ollie.

 

18/2/05 - Finally! All the videos are now working.

 

17/2/05 - And now they don't work again. Don't worry, I will get it!

 

Good news again! I THINK I've sussed the video page. Go check it out. If the videos don't work then email us at the usual.

 

Bad news! Half of the videos no longer work because I 'Violated Tripod's Terms of Service'. So until I find a reliable video host the video page will not update.

 

Good news! The video page is now more or less done but there are still a few videos that are due to go up later on, so at the moment there are just a few.

 

16/2/05 - We have all the new questions done now. Happy reading!

 

I have just realised that we don't have Milo's questions yet, but we will probably have them tonight. Also Ben's questions are up already for some reason so you might as well have a look.

I have been trying to get this video page done but still can't find a reliable place to host them. If you know of anywhere then give us a shout at the usual. So far these videos are working:

Luke 10 set - Dial-up / Broadband

Max ollie nose - Dial-up

Cam heelflip step-up - Broadband

Milo flip mannie - Dial-up / Broadband

Sam backside flip step-up - Dial-up / Broadband

 

15/2/05 - We have all the new interview questions back from everybody so they will be up either tonight or tomorrow depending on what free time I have.

Rui's page will be up again soon as well.

Also check Milo's page and you will be pleasantly surprised with a new picture.

And Cam cracked a bone in his wrist either trying to flip a 7 or to 360 flip a 5. He didn't land either though. He would have landed the 7 if we didn't get kicked out. It's not a serious injury at all but we put it here anyway. Makes a good read eh?

Didn't think so.

 

13/2/05 - Rui has told us that he did not send the email saying he is quitting. Some one logged onto his account and sent it. Whoever it was well done.

We now know who it was, but because we're not tight like you, we're not going to write your name here

 

12/2/05 - Just been adding some links to the links page...

No footage today.

Also I have just been informed that Rui has left. Sorry to see you go.

 

11/2/05 - As you may or may not know, it is half term, which means we will (hopefully) be getting lots more footage, which means new pics on the site for you lot!

Also we have taken lots of the previous news of this page (there was quite a lot). You can find the previous news by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.

 

10/2/05 - We will have some more questions for the interview just as soon as everyone answers the questions.

 

9/2/05 - Another friends pic from Jo Wells - keep up the support Jo!!

 

8/2/05 - New amazing friends pic. I wish I had a Spongebob T-shirt!

 

7/2/05 - We have some new pics for you to enjoy! Check Sam's, Cam's and Ben's pages for skating pics and the friends page for 2 new friends pics.

We had left Ben's footage at his Dad's so we won't have that for a few weeks.

The disk from that guy who took some pics of us is on its way so we'll stick them up when we get them.

Also the video page still won't be up for ages. Sorry.

 

6/2/05 - We have some new pictures but they will be put up tomorrow. Also we left Ben's footage at his Dad's so we won't have that for a few weeks.

 

3/2/05 - On Wednesday Milo snapped his deck flipping a 6 set - click. Also Ben ollied a 10 set which was no way near as sketchy as Luke's if anyone's wondering! (No offence Luke) see the pic on Ben's page.

We have had an email from someone asking us to put 'Vandross suck' on the site. This opinion does not reflect the views of Fiasco, just the guy who sent in the email.

Also we are having problems with the team email. We know some people have sent in friends pics but we have not received them. If in any doubt email your picture to Max as well.

We are getting the rest of Ben's footage THIS WEEKEND, so check back on Monday for new pics of Ben.

Also we have made it so that the links appear in new windows. When you click a thumbnail of a picture ignore the 'back' button on the big version. It doesn't do anything.

 

31/1/05 - Rui recently dug up this picture of him when he met Bam Margera at the Kerrang awards a couple of years ago. We just thought we'd like to show you. He also got pictures with many other people including Bowling For Soup, Electric 6 and Reel Big Fish. Give Rui a shout if you want to see more pics.

Also it has occurred to many people that most of our photos involve some kind of stair set (Ben especially). Well we are trying to get some new 'original' footage that involves something different, except for Ben who wants to try a 10 set but that's an exception because it will be good.

 

30/1/05 - Well this weekend didn't turn out to be very good. We got no new footage but we did see Nick Jensen again! The video page is still being gay so it won't be up for about 1 to 2 weeks.

And also we need to make a point. Sky, if you're reading this (you know who you are) can you please take down everything on your site that you have copied off us. i.e. The interview questions - make up your own! and the caption of Gus doing the 3 set where it says 'Gus pops a fat and hairy 3 set' which you stole from Luke's 10 set caption. Take it all off and make up your own shit!

 

28/1/05 - There is nothing new as it has been raining for the past 2 days which sucks! Although if it is dry this weekend we will be trying to get new footage.

As there is no decent news, you may find something fun to do here. What you do is, type in a word and see if anyone wants to talk about that word!

 

26/1/05 - The video page might take a bit longer than we expected because the place where we are hosting the videos is being gay. But for compensation we are giving you 1 clip right here. (It's the only one that's not being gay). We will get the video page up as soon as we can.

And apparently Jade is now our team mascot.

 

25/1/05 - Today we now have 4 new pictures for you! The first is Ben doing this exidingly long 6 set, the second being max doing ANOTHER trick on his front 2 wheels. The third pic is Milo demonstrating how to do a perfect flip mannie, and it's not even on a small mannie pad! The forth is a friends pic of what Amelia did in her maths lesson.

 

24/1/05 - Sam's page is now up (about time too!). So we have reached the limit of people in Fiasco (10) so unfortunately, no more people can join.

A big thanks to Jill and Nick (Mike's mum & dad) for paying and taking us to London. And another thanks to Jill for getting Luke, Mike, Max, Cam and Sam Fiasco Tee-Shirts.

We had heard rumours and yes it's true, Shell Center has been skate stopped. The bastards put blind bumps before AND after the stairs! RIP Shell Center.

Unlucky for Cam, as soon as we got to London he snapped his kingpin, so he missed out on the first session at Southbank, but when we got to Bay 66 he managed to get his truck back into working order.

When we went back to Southbank in the evening we saw Nick Jensen skating there! Lucky us!

Also at Southbank this cool photographer was taking pictures of us, a highlight was Sam 180ing the 7, so when we get the pictures we'll stick 'em up!

These are the new pics up from the weekend which can be found on the person's page: Mike Southbank 7, Cam 50-50 and heelflip at Bay 66, Ben Southbank 7 and Uni 8, Rui Southbank 7 and Uni 8, Sam 180 Southbank 7, flip at Southbank and backside flip at Bay 66.

The video page is almost done and hopefully will be up this week.

 

20/1/05 - This Saturday Luke, Mike, Max, Cam, Sam, Ben, Rui and maybe Milo are going into London to hopefully get loads of footage. Check back sometime next week to see the results.

Also we are making a video clips page and it should be done sometime next week so make sure you check back!

 

19/1/05 - Firstly sorry for not updating the site for so long.

Secondly we would like to welcome Ben and Rui to Fiasco. Rui has no pics yet but we might get some this weekend so make sure you check back! Also Milo has a new pic on his page and we all hope to get some new pics this Saturday as we are going to London in honour of Mike's birthday.

 

12/1/05 - We have put up 2 new links on the links page. The first is Skate Basingstoke. Be sure to check it out. It features pics and videos of people skating in Basingstoke who are rather very good. The second is Post 22 which is just a skate site with video clips and other crap.

 

11/1/05 - Ok sometimes the weather in England is good, I mean it doesn't rain every day, but this is ridiculous! It hasn't stopped raining since Sunday, literally.

Anyway we are thinking of some more questions to appear in people's interviews so check back soon. If you have any suggestions for new questions don't hesitate to email 'em in to the usual address - fiasco_mail@yahoo.co.uk

Jo Wells also wants me to write on the site that she is cool or 'kool', so here you go!

 

9/1/05 - Today we have had quite a big update - we have 2 new pages (Cam's and new team member Milo Cave!) unfortunately Milo has only 1 pic as he only joined today.

Mike didn't do the 10 set and we only got 1 piece of footage - Milo's 7 set. Also it rained at about 4 and Mike, Cam and Sam (possibly another new member) only just missed their train so they had to wait an hour in the rain for the next one!

Also we have changed the logo at the top of this page and we will keep it like this for a while until we get bored of it.

 

8/1/05 - Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has been on the site as we have had over 1000 hits already!

Secondly all of us (except James) will be meeting up tomorrow to obviously skate and try to gather new footage. If it's dry Mike will hopefully do the 10 set in Guildford (the one Luke has in his pics) and Cam's page will be up the day after.

 

6/1/05 - All that's updated today is that James has changed his pic. Say weather you like it or if we should take a new one if you really care. Send to team email.

 

5/1/04 - A big thanks to Tom Adamson for putting some of our pics onto the Ollies Online photo forum for us. Check it out here.

Cam's page is nearly done and will be up after we get a pic of him on Sunday.

Also go onto the links page and you'll find a new link. Click on it and vote because if enough votes are counted Pickled Dick will appear on Hollyoaks! Even if you don't care weather they get on Hollyoaks or not vote anyway for those people who do care - It'll only take 2 minutes (3 if you have a slow computer and internet)

 

3/1/05 - Today we have some new pics from our trip to Guildford! They include Charlie doing a 7 set which he is very happy about, Ben doing the same 7 set (friends) and Jamie doing a very clean boneless and very clean 180 boneless down a 5 set (also friends).

Seems to be a good start to the year!

 

2/1/05 - Happy new year!

To start off the new year we are giving you lucky lot a new picture of Max! (It's on his page)

 

31/12/04 - Yesterday we got kicked out of more spots in a day than we normally would in 2 weeks - we didn't get as much footage as we hoped but still got some. Check out the pages - the pics are up.

We now have a new team member! Cam. His page will be up in the near future but in the mean time you can see a pic here.

Today is the last day this year which means that tomorrow is not this year it's next year but will be this year which is 2005 not this year now which is 2004 which will become last year tomorrow. Catch my drift? So have a happy 2005 and make sure it's not a year to be forgotten.

I've also tried to make it so those with small screens don't have to scroll sideways on this page. If you still have to scroll sideways now then tough titties - buy a bigger screen.

Also Sidewalk release their 100th issue making it their 10th birthday. Be sure to buy them lots of big, expensive presents.

We also have a new friends pic too. Mr Penny balances on the back 2 wheels of his skateboard round a thing.

 

28/12/04 - Today we have a new, yes, it's new, fantastic picture of Mike! It features him using his skateboard to stunt down some steps. Find it on his page of this site.

In other news it's Jo Well's (Charlie's girlfriend) birthday tomorrow (the 29th)! A big 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' from all of us here at Fiasco! Have a good un!

On Thursday Mike's coming down all the way from Southsea and were gonna get tons of footage so check out the site on Friday or Saturday!

A new link has been added to the links page. 3run. You MUST check it out. it is the most amazing thing you'll see in your life. Make sure you watch at least 1 vid cause the pics don't show what the videos do.

 

26/12/04 - We now have a team email address that actually works!- fiasco_mail@yahoo.co.uk

No-one has any new pics as we haven't been filming. Keep in mind that we are still looking for skate pics to appear on the friends page and now that our team email is working you shouldn't hesitate to send 'em in!

Also today the links page has been given a face-lift. It now contains columns making the sites easier to find - check it out. You can email us if you want to see a site there that isn't there already at fiasco_mail@yahoo.co.uk

 

24/12/04 - Some new links added to the links page. We got our first friends pic of Ben Dance and his magical paper. Nothing else - too wet to get new footage.

Anyway It's christmas tomorrow, or today, depends on what day you're looking at it. Well I s'pose no ones going on it on christmas day as you'll have much better things to do. Anyway enjoy your turkey and festive family fun!

 

23/12/04 - Site Finished!!

It's winter now so make sure you keep skating even while it's cold!

And have a mad christmas full of food and new crap
