Essential Reading
Gav at Longboard Sessions has been working on this Safety Article for a while now, and now it's online we thought we'd help him get it out there as it really is essential reading if you skate down hills.
He covers all aspects - Safety Equipment, Skating techniques, Communicating with other road users and skaters, it's all there.
You can check the full article out HERE.
Spread the word around - as a longboarder on the open road you are representing all of us, so let's all play safe and keep it tight! Thanks Gav!

06.1 Part 3
Just uploaded the last part of 06.1 DVD to the Lush Youtube - sliding with Rich and Matt around Bristol, filmed in the spring of 2006.
We've been filming for a new web edit recently, slightly hindered by the good old English winter - but getting there. Coming soon!

Almabtrieb 2007 on the Lush Flickr
Winter is kicking in proper now in not-so-sunny Bristol, so it's time to get all misty-eyed and nostalgic about another skate trip from days gone by...
Jojo, 2007 summer catalogue cover shot, evening run at Almabtrieb 2007 on the then-new Revolution speedboard... new topmount info coming soon!
...and here he is qualifying... tidy into the first corner...
Almabtrieb 2007 was a good one... with Jojo Martinez and Pete Connolly ripping the racetrack, and Matt and Nick laying down some urethane at the evening slide jams with the Brazilians, we had all the bases covered. The weather was perfect for the whole race, the organisation was dialled, and we didn't miss our ferry for once - oh wait actually we did miss our ferry. But it was still amazing, and we'll be going to Almabtrieb 2011 for sure... be there if you can!
Pete C into the first corner.. FAST.
Mischo Erban... winner of the most aerodynamic man in 2007 (and probably 2008, 2009, 2010...)
Speedchecks (controlled sliding to brake into a corner) had yet to break onto the race scene... this year was all about heavy footbraking into the first corner. A couple of French guys were trying it without footbraking and eating it all weekend... then Clement and Mischo eventually made it and blew everyone away ... downhill had just changed!
Nick, one foot capslide, scary photog moment!
Way more in this set on the Lush Flickr, if you were there, spot yourself!
More photos coming soon... Late night skatepark mission with the light setup this week if the weather holds...

06.1 DVD - Part's 1 and 2
More ancient files from the Lush Archives...
In the winter of 2005, we took our UK slide team on a trip to Barcelona. Sliding was just taking off, Sergio and Cliff had been to the UK, the slide scene was kicking off all in Sheffield, Bournemouth, London, Falmouth - over the UK. We wanted to get out of the country and find some new hills, and then send ourselves down them, sideways.
The footage we collected over a week of non-stop skating formed the first half of 06.1. It's actually stood the test of time pretty well, really... Sit back, and enjoy!

Mega Lush Legacy Photo Upload #1 - 2005 Barcelona Trip
This will take you back a bit... In October 2005, we took our entire team as it then was, on a trip to Barcelona to film some stuff and skate a lot of hills. We did - and here's the photos!
We'll be posting the DVD that was produced from this trip, 06.1, on the Lush Youtube tomorrow... And some more oldschool photos, there are so many...

Buy Now from your Local Skateshop at lushlongboards.com
The Lush Longboards Online Shop is open again - but this time, there's a difference!
If you're in the UK, you can now order stuff from us online, and we will process the order and pass it on to the nearest local Lush Dealer to you with stock, who will ship it to you direct.
This means we can support the shops who support us, you and the scene, whilst making it super easy for you to buy Lush, Cult and Sabre products.
It is UK only for now - we will be rolling this out to other countries soon.
Meanwhile here's a picture of Mr Penman with a fat backside pendy to get you psyched.
Australia
Longtime Lush rider Kurt Nischel just sent us this from Australia - mini ramp in his back garden, 5 mins from the beach...

More ramp and downhill on www.kurtnischel.com, plus watch out for the new Lush ramp/slide/pool/bowl/everything deck that Kurt is helping us with!
