Absolutely and Sheffield got destroyed back in the day.

Yet another Oldschool Sheffield Don - Risk was like a Robin Hood type figure - mythical - as was normal back then he was to be feared and respected - younger heads looked up to the man but hell his style too - dope to this day

[@travis.sk8]

The guy fully got me into graff

[@BornWriter]

@@travis.sk8 For sure he was a very big influence back then

[@CUTEMKUltras]

I remember finding some of his tags back in 1988 and being blown away by his style. So bloody cool.

[@BornWriter]

Hell yes I think Risk, Mist and Joke had some of the dopest hand styles that I`ve seen to this day. @@CUTEMKUltras

Big up risky ACT

[@JosephHolroyd]

I've seen his pieces outside of the Northern General Hospital (Sheffield) on Herries Road/A6135, Eastwood Ind. Est. (Rotherham) and Barbot Hall Ind. Est. (Rotherham). I mean the most recent ones of course. The first tag I saw was KAME in about 2003 on the M1 Bridge at Tinsley going to Meadowhall, and then, because me and my Sister would be took to places in our Car when we were younger, we didn't go on the Train from Swinton until about 2009 to Sheffield, and through there I saw all of this stuff by BLOODAXE/FISTA.

[@JosephHolroyd]

Just to clarify, I am not and never have been a University Student. Not even at a former Polytechnic.

still getting up!!!

[@bubz3t136]

Kela mentions train and bus graff in big northern cities like Liverpool, but I don't think Liverpool ever had a big train or bus scene. I was only a kid back in the '80s, living just outside the city, but I never ever saw graff on any trains or buses. Actually, the lack of graff in the city probably saved me from getting a criminal record, because I would've jumped at the chance to join a crew and do some trains, given the chance. All the lads in my area were into Heavy Metal, or going to raves, and didn't give a shit about Hip hop.

[@gazagee1957]

I never known buses or trains either.Sheffield was 1st to hamner buses.Even Birmingham buses wasnt getting hit when Sheffield buses was getting hit.Nottingham jams ACT spent allday hitting every bus on outside until every bus that day had a R.1 CARE4 throwups ACT etc.Birmingham started.Big up all Brum crews.

[@bobbobby9798]

Spot on, no graf scene in Liverpool till 2000s. Manchester was smashed buses, streets, tracksides.

[@JosephHolroyd]

On 8th October 2019, I jumped off a 20-25m high Railway Bridge in Masbrough. I landed roughly two metres away from the tracks. Yes, my Graffiti is different because I do it in a Wheelchair, but I am 6'1.5" (1.87m) and that is why I can reach quite high. I always thought that King Robbo dying was the worst injustice, but, well, I never saw this coming.

I'll be honest, my Throw-ups aren't so good. They're basic, and I use three colours instead of two, but, last week, my only one in Public was cleaned off. My Music knowledge is better though, check out my playlists.
