very good show, always love to here from the UK skate scene since I think it's the most diverse scene and one of the most creative out there

Great show, love all the Blueprint stories. Already posted on your IG but a show that went over some of the old long gone UK brands and shops. Love to hear some stories about the old Slam City shop (didn't beasties play there once), I remember going in there as a grommet back in the day and everyone was so intimidating.

I would chill with morph and the stow boys quite regular in the early days. Good times. Big up the 3L crew
