29 JANUARY 2010 Alex Magallan's Austin Adventures...
There used to be a show on MTV called Austin Stories. Well, Alex has been livin' it up in Austin, working on some top secret moves lately. I know of something really big that he attempted yesterday, didn't make it, and is going back today to hit it again. Kid's a trooper! There will definitely be a lot more out of him soon. In the meantime, here are a few pics that Tom from Vinyl sent over:

Most people have noticed that KP has been laying low just a bit lately. He's had some transitions going on in his life. Over on the Vinyl site, you can find out what's really been up, and where he's going in the next phase of his life.
20 JANUARY 2010 it's your letters...
if you live in the UK or maybe even if you don't, you might want to get hold of a copy of the latest sidewalk magazine. why's that? i hear you ask. well, we're giving away a pair of louies latest shoe - the sherman - to the lucky individual who pens the letter of the month. so wait are you waiting for, get on your soap box and sound off about something or maybe just write a letter very kindly asking for the shoes. you never know, you don't ask you don't get or at least that's what my mum used to say....
14 JANUARY 2010 TEXT YOSELF...
in case you're the only skateboarder in the world who has never been on the berrics site then shame on you for starters. well, not really, it is only a website after all but having said that a pretty good one never the less. anyways, check out the agenda text yoself for a little duffs designer where's wally...
Whilst hard at work cruising round some sites I came across this in the Skateboarder Mag archives; Louie's skate anatomy article from a few years back. Although he's got some awesome stories in here, I'm sure by now he's got plenty more tales of injuries, mishaps and 12 pack related shenanigans to add to this little lot...
14 JANUARY 2010 MARK MULVILLE NAKED...
Got your attention you sick little perverts. He not be naked, but he definitely let's it all hang out. In real Mark news, he has been laying low in Pittsburgh, watching it snow, and then going riding at Ray's MTB in Cleveland. For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of going to Ray's, just think of a Wal-Mart, but cool, and full of ramps. It also has an indoor dirt room! If you want to stalk Mark, you can probably keep up with the daily happenings of him and his crew over on the Welcome to Pittsburgh blog.

Part 1 of Jimmy's Q and A over on the Odyssey site:
okay, so we've been a bit lame with the news updates this last week but our welsh wonder jess young has still been racking up the footage. first up is this half hour edit that came free with the december issue of Sidewalk over in good old blighty. featuring pretty much every skater to pass through brizles hallowed streets, jess gets in on the act. so here goes, sit back, put your feet up, grab a glass of something nice and enjoy...
13 JANUARY 2010 KILL CITY at the independent mini...

the last episode of the kill city hobo blog is now online over at sidewalk. dainton of dirty snachez fame took his kill city mob on a little road trip and this final installment covers their journey from stoke back to the green grass of wales. unsurprisingly jess young is in the mix again!

04 JANUARY 2010 DANI IN THE NEWS...
you can't keep this kid down right now, he's everywhere at the moment, even the national news. not bad eh? ceck out page 10 for the article on our spanish super kid dani. oh, it's in spanish...
get this all up in your grill. welsh ripper jess youngs relentless run of footage from way back in 2009 continues unabated. dainton takes his kill city boyos to the mean streets of london for the crossfire xmas jam. peep the hippy jump near the end, sick. be warned, this video contains welsh skateboarders and as such the content may not be suitable for some younger viewers.
Well, aside from chicks, Alex has an interview up on BMX Union. It's a good read. Also, just for your "stimulation", here's another look at his edit that recently popped up:
yeah, i know it's been on the transworld site and our blog since before christmas but here's the link to atkins sequence anyways. you can still vote so make sure you our man james gets the thumbs up from you. check it homes:
well, well, well. so here we are. thankfully the so-called noughties are over so hopefully we wont have to listen to fools using that phrase quite as much and we can revel in the science fiction sounding 2010s. i mean, come one, twenty-ten sounds sounds way more futuristic than 2009, so much so that i for one will be sadly disappointed if we're not driving flying cars, teleporting all over the place, colonising the moon and getting it on with alien hotties like that broad from fifth element before the years end.
