Skate Against Suicide

Evan Fogarty and his friend have set up an event towards raising money for Aware and are almost 40% of the way there in less than 3 days. We are going to have 150 Skateboarders skate from St Anne’s Park to Fairview Park along the Clontarf sea front at the same time on the 2nd of February. It would mean a lot to us if you could share on to friends and family to help us get the idea out there. If you click the photo below you can do your part to donate or spread the word.

‘Irish Skateboarding’ according to Kern

Filmed in 6 weeks this edit features 25 skaters from all over the country. An edit which shows the unity and closeness of Irish skateboarding, what i believe is a vital component of Skate Éire.

Andrew Spratt – Wallride

With the early demise of my camera the day the Belfast lads landed in Barca after an anxiety ridden 19 hour train across the great continent of Europe gutted surely was an understatement of what I felt… Thankfully after a few messages I was soon back in action thanks to a Welsh connection. This was one from yesterday after our trails and bails through Fondo territory and a quick last stop before bouncing on the metro home. Safe travels boys! And happy 18th to Drew!

Dave Murphy – Board Stall Yank Out.

After we lost ourselves through what seemed an easy enough task with the no thinking required google maps at our side we came across this rail located outside a quaint cafe. Thankfully the customers outside didn’t seem too bothered.

Cian Eades – Switch Kickflip.

Right after blood was almost seemingly drawn from a game of skate with tricks only folk could blissfully pipe dream about accompanied with more style than Vogue magazine between Ireland and America this set was soon next in line for a barrage of tricks to be knocked out in only a matter of minutes. This being one of the many haymakers.
