Skatefurther has been around for a almost decade. Lots of miles have passed beneath us all. One of our biggest highlights was watching Rob Thomson skate his way into the record books. Rob became a great friend of Skatefurther and it was always awesome to check into the old forum (R.I.P.) and see where he hadContinueContinue reading “Throwback – The Allure of Long Distance Skateboarding”

Event – Pubs and Parks
If you peer back into the gloom that is the discipline of skating further – way, way back to a time before ultraskates, before 0° rear trucks and before distance skating specific hardware and diets, someone somewhere said… I wonder if we could skate to the pub? For some of us, this was where the ideasContinueContinue reading “Event – Pubs and Parks”

Many of us will relate to his thirst for adventure – stuck in front of a computer screen, surrounded by the same sceneryContinueContinue reading “Journey – The Southern Push”
Race – Vandra do an Ultraskate
So, I’m no distance jock! I like my journeys to be about discovering new places, new people and, er, beer. As much as I’d love to join in, I don’t think I’d have the patience or the back strength for an Ultraskate. Fortunately, our friends from the Ultracool Vandra Skateboards have summed up what I’mContinueContinue reading “Race – Vandra do an Ultraskate”
