Part Of The Scene

Another shop up North now stocking "The Learning Curve" DVD is Scene in Preston and you can spend your money in their online store here.

Official Secrets Act

Since the release of "The Learning Curve" DVD, many requests have been made for directions to and locations of some of the spots featured. This has caused something of a dilemma as you can imagine. Should I divulge the information and risk the influx of skaters to spots previously privy to a select few? Probably not, but on the other hand I have been allowed similar information by others in the past so surely it is only fair to return the favour. It's a tricky one. An ancient Chinese proverb says "A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot" but to be honest most of the spots are fairly well known by London locals, so the answer is to hook up with the locals and go on a mission. See you there.

Blond Bombshell

Time was a factor that decided whether Boots would have a full section in "The Learning Curve" or not as I only met the guy with a few months left on the deadline. He still managed to lay down some hefty hammers in the second friends section on the DVD though and recognition of his abilities is slowly but surely arriving in the UK skate media. The latest mention is here on the Crossfire site, so take a peek at the photo of his first go landing on the biggest set of stairs I've seen in London and watch out for his name in 2007.

DVD Droppings

Another skater owned shop now stocking "The Learning Curve" is Sheffield's Story Store. The Story Store has not been open for very long but with some great ideas such as The Story FilmMaker's Guild and a really strong shop team, it looks like they'll be around for a long time yet, supporting skateboarding in every way they can. Two of their team riders, Lucien Clarke and Danny Brady, appear in one of the friend's sections on "The Learning Curve" too. Click here to order the DVD from them. Cheers guys.

The First Verdict

The first published review of "The Learning Curve" went up today over at the Crossfire website. Click for the review and make sure to visit Crossfire regularly as it's chock-a-block with new clips and news every day. Cheers to Zac for sorting this out.

Boozecast

Messageboards are indicating that people are digging the alcohol fuelled Mr. Mike Sutcliffe's section on the DVD, so here is a podcast featuring the South African wine connoisseur.

Clique The Link

Slam City Skates in London have received their re-stock of "The Learning Curve" DVD after selling out in double quick time first time around. Click to order yours.

Flood Gates

I thought that sales were good in the London store mentioned in the previous post but now I hear that Flavour in Newquay outdid them and sold out of all 8 of their copies the same day that they arrived! What's going on?

Hot Cakes

Less than a day on the shelves and one particular London shop has already sold out of their supply of "The Learning Curve". Good stuff. Time to order more fellas.

The Quickness

The first skate shop to get the DVD onto their online mailorder site as far as I'm aware is Native skate store in Newcastle Upon Tyne (0191 261 22 29). Thanks for that guys. Link added over on the right.

Finally

"The Learning Curve"
on sale now!

After a bit of a wait whilst the duplicators took their time, the DVDs have arrived and are on sale in a skate shop near you. The DVD costs £5 and I hope that when you buy a copy (or two) that you will support your local SOS (skater owned shop).

If your local shop sells out or is a rubbish shop that doesn't order any then get on the internet and search out a skater owned shop that does mail order sales. Enjoy!
