Some members of the Skatefurther forum headed up to London to take part in the Mayor of London’s Skyride. They joined 65,000 cyclists taking over the streets and enjoyed a traffic free skate around the capital. Tim Peters took a load of pics and you can see them here. There is also a forum thread on the day. Skatefurther...
Forum member Laura is honing her video editing skills… In a meeting of downhill racers and distance pacers, a deserted business park near Plymouth saw forum members Laura, Matt, and JJ along with good friend Charlie and Rich get on down with their bad selves. This video is the result. Please excuse the quality – it was shot on...
Straight from the forum, thanks to Rob Thomsons keen eye, we now know about another huge skate that is happening right now. Omar is currently skating across the US. I spent a good couple of hours reading through his awesome blog and looking at his pics and I suggest you do the same. He is a really great writer...
Well, it’s been 3 days now, and far from giving in, forum member Gavyn Mackenzie and his chum Mark have been pushing like mad things along their South Coast route. The first day they skated over 40 miles, the second they got from Hastings To Folkestone in awesome time, and today, they’ve been flying! They’re due to roll into...

Enjoy. Rayne’s Demonseed deck has been a popular shape with distance...

They have the full support of all of us at Skatefurther, as well as HolidayExtras.com and Canterballs Longboarding. Mark is riding a Rayne Demonseed...
Seeing as we have finally got off our butt to enable videos (same goes for all the Skatefurther journals too!!) we would start with what is probably our most favourite. Rob, we salute you and all that you have done for distance skating.
As well as a tonne of Canadian push race action going down, we had a fair old bit going down on our own shores this weekend. The Eastbourne IGSA World Cup 2009 hit town and some of the Skatefurther crew were there to take part, take it all in and get stoked. Skatefurther team member Laura travelled up from...
Paul Kent came away with a win at this years R.O.G.U.E. race in Edmonton, Canada. His winning time of 52:53 was an amazing improvement on last years win. The 21km race course features a beautifully paved trail system that winds and twists it’s way through heart of the city of Edmonton like a rollercoaster. It climbs out and dives...
