schophs christmas (f)art contest 2011

dalikhq — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:38:26 +0000

in an uprecedentedly festive move, dalikfodda founder schoph schophield has today announced that he is running a competition to win original pieces of his artwork (see below for pics of them).

he has chosen five pieces which he had kept to inspire future work and he is now offering these out to five lucky people in return for them providing him with some inspiration. from what i can see, any creativeness can count as an entry, including;
paintings / drawings
poems / short stories
photographs
a damn good written reason why you should get one

he will consider just about any creativeness, so if you are dead good at building matchstick pirate boats, making dirty protests, sticking a tent full of used jonnies in an art gallery, using yourself as a canvas for a painting in the medium of puke or even recording the sound of you farting and looping it up on computer with a death metal riff, then get your creative hat on and create.

entry is simple. just get over to the dalikfodda fan page, like it if you don’t already and post a photo of your entry there. if you can’t post it as an image then just send it as a message instead. entries close on december 31st and schoph will select winners shortly afterwards. winners will be required to send the original of the piece which they created and are responsible for postage costs. since his original paintings sell for grands its still the best contest since forever; a snowboard lasts a season, but a painting lasts a lifetime!

1. the dalikfodda shithouse 2 tour poster. so this was basically the plan!


: 1. the dalikfodda shithouse 2 tour poster. so this was basically the plan!

: 2. this is your host, thrashmore, somehere on the m1 two hours into the drive from leeds to val thorens.

: 3. we took a sunset ferry from dover to calais after a skate session at the port.

: 4. upon ariving in france we immediately headed to the nearest booze supermarket to stock up for the journey.

: 5. the booze and gaffa tape hats provided some hilarity whilst crossing france…







: 6…this went on for several hours. until…

: 7….we arrived in val thorens at 11am the next day having previously followed the sat nav up the wrong mountain to meribel.

: 8. we were all pretty cakey, but with the sun shining and one day to ride, motivation was required!

: 9. with jettblack broken down somewhere near paris, we decided to get the gents checked in.

: 10. the rooms booked for us were at the best hotel in town, with a sauna, pool and steamroom downstairs.

: 11. we left the gents and adam trying on dragon sunglasses and headed onto the hill.

: 12. vince puked in the first gondola and had to bail. the rest of us made our way to the park.

: 13. there was a decent fun jump, so me and shitgoose had a session. bs3 stale.

: 14. sam was shooting photos and schoph pressed go and stop on the camcorder whilst sunbathing.

: 15. using the moon unit factor to autopilot the jump proved to be a good tactic.

: 16. after riding we had just enough time to enjoy a quiet tab on the hill before heading down to get ready for the first gig.

: 17. having got all of their stuff into a courtesy car, jettblack had hi-tailed it across france to arrive for soundcheck.

: 18. unfortunately no-one had told us that the bands werent on until 2am, by which time everyone was fucked from tiredness and booze. some idiot kept shouting for the gents to play a cover of kings of leon. he got told.

: 19. by the end of the show everyone was well and truly pissed…

: 20….and some silliness ensued until we all passed out. standard.

: 21. no rest the next day with a drive over to morzine for show number 2.

: 22. with only enough time for a few hick pictures on the pass from albertville,

: 23. and for hippy to pretend to be some road kill

: 24. arriving in morzine too late to shred, we headed up to the bar and hotel.

: 25. the garage turned out to be just that; barely enough room to swing a hamster.

: 26. the venue quickly filled with a mix of dalik’s and pissed up seasonaires all eager for carnage.

: 27. party crowd was headed up by bezza straight arm drinking.

: 28. as jettblack took to the impovised stage, the place went crazy.

: 29. with stage front completely filled with pissed up mentalists the old boys tried to hide up the back.

: 30. whilst the youngsters kept it proper in the pit.

: 31. but by the time the gents came on, the place was so rowdy that a security line had to be formed to stop people flying into the band.

: 32. by the end of the show we felt like we’d done a few rounds with tyson.

: 33. but the gents played through it like professionals,

: 34. and most people had a great, boozy night.

: 35. after the show we all had the chance to have a beer and a laugh or two

: 36. and tattoo showed us some of his ink. (this is oliver cromwell apparently)

: 37. we checked out the next morning and got ready to set off again.

: 38. obviously with so many people it takes forever to do anything and inevitably there is quite a lot of standing about. nice photo though!

: 39. we travelled all day to get to mayrhofen for the rock night at wangl tangl.

: 41. the benz felt a little naked…

: 41. so schoph and shitgoose gaffa taped our mascot sabbath to the bonnet badge.

: 42. arriving at the sports centre in hof, we were greeted with a massive stage and backstge treats. good work vans.

: 43. with the rooms all sorted we watched manhead and andy scott win the skate contest and dicked about backstage.

: 44. after a feew beers, stu couldnt resist the temptation of getting down to his pants under the faux fur rug and then running on stage.

: 45. jettblack came on to a rapturous reception;

: 46. many of the brits in mayrhofen are already big jettblack fans. this ensured a great crowd and jettblack played up to the occasion.

: 47. the gents followed on straight away, using the extra space on stage to throw some proper shapes.

: 48. schoph got stuck into some filming on carnage cam.

: 49. the crowd fully got into the show despite the gents being new to many of them.

: 50. this was probably because of the qaulity of the performance.

: 51. meanwhile, backstage, damage was being done to the beer rider.

: 52. which continued….

: 53….pretty much unabated….

: 54….until the end of the gents set and beyond.

: 55. we later found out that our passes entitled us to free kebabs. result. extra chillie all round.

: 56. at some unknown time we fell out of the venue and made it home.

: 57. everyone felt pretty smashed up the next morning. the gents opted for a day in the wellness centre having naked saunas. we however braved the mountain. stupid us.

: 58. although it was our first proper day off on the tour, schoph was unsure about the plan…

: 59….so he painted fuc shmear on his boots. its shitgoose’s alter ego.

: 60….and then did a slob air during the mega shred. he felt better after that i think.

: 61. jettblack also tried riding. with mixed results.

: 62. being our first day off, there was talk of a relaxing evening. however after a braten hauser from the pork shop, we decided going out would be preferable. at least we looked better than this dude.

: 63. heading to arena in hof, shitgoose wasted no time in showing everyone some of his sick moves.

: 64. this rapidly evolved into the new sport of extreme dance floor jumping…

: 65….and subsequently escalated into plain silliness.

: 66. anyone who’s been to mayrhofen knows that there’s only one place to go after arena, and thats where we met tyler and his new trophy bat.

: 67. with the wangl tangl awards party having just chucked out, the place was full of pissed people

: 68. im still not sure how tyler got away with waving a bat round all night, but can only guess the bouncers had given up by then.

: 69. by 5a.m. i was pretty confused…

: 70….and we came home to find hippy asleep with his eyes open making his noise.

: 71. we tried to leave early the next day, but ended up loosing and then re-finding half of our stuff first, so shitgoose passed the time on his best toy.

: 72. the gents had taken the van so we had to get 5 people plus boards in the benz with no roofrack. luckily we had gaffa tape and string.

: 73. our makeshift roofrack took us across two borders and cofused some swiss policemen, as did hippy sam.

: 74. we didnt get to tignes till 2a.m., partly because jettblack followed their satnav up a mountain pass that was closed and wasted about 8 hours. pom was left waiting. paper maps i say.

: 75. stoked to be in the familiar surroundings of dragon lodge amongst friends, we relaxed…then slept. a lot.

: 76. the next day, the view of tignes from the lodge was perfect…

: 77….the same could not however be said about the view of me. brew…tab…shred.

: 78. making the most of the full day off, we took john and tom from jettblack out for a shred on the palafour.

: 79) with rad snow and weather, we spent the whole day cruising about.

: 79. everyone had an ace day and we did some fun jibs

: 80. with old friends on loop terrace, a few apres guinness were certainly on the cards.

: 81. by the time we left the pub, we’d had a few and acquired a bottle of gin.

: 82. back at the lodge shitgoose wanted to try creampie.

: 83. we had a few after dinner drinks…

: 84….which continued until we were revved up enough to brave the snowy walk to the boozer.

: 85. and you know its pub time when will gets the leather on.

: 86. anyway, we had to meet tignes local legend and dalik rider; pom, who, by then had figured out a novel approach to beating the bar queue.

: 87. we had a right good old fashioned knees up. it were grand.

: 86. the party went on…

: 87….and on…

: 88….until the bar shut. shitgoose was pissed, so he suggestd we go to ‘jacks’; the local night spot.

: 89. unfortunately, on the way, shitgoose managed to fall on the floor and loose his trousers.

: 90. although his trainer turned up, his pants were nowhere to be found.

: 91. having eventually located the offending pants, shitgoose was allowed into the club…

: 92….where he promptly fell asleep next to the bar. never ones to miss an opportunity; me and schoph got a pen and instigated ‘art hour’

: 93. the local french nutters were more than a little enthusiatic, until shitgoose eventually managed to escape.

: 94. as punishment, the next morning tom gave him a rude awakening…

: 95….but at least we didnt make him sleep in will’s room.

: 96. after tom’s unique motivational techniques we convinced shitgoose that a day in the val park would be best.

: 97. i enjoyed a few layback slashes on the wall ride,

: 98. and it was good to get a shred with will. tweaked rock fakie.

: 99. before heading down there was just enough time for a session on this awkward c-rail. fs noseblunt slide.

: 100. when we got down a massive feed at the dragon lodge was the order of the day, before heading over to the loop bar to set up for the gig.

: 101. the staff at the loop bar were already amped up and ready to go when we got down there

: 102. again using broom handle mic stands, jettblack got ready to play.

: 103. and their newly acquired fans got themslves into a state of some frenzy…

: 104. it was packed to the rafters and as hot as the sun, so we had to keep tattoo well supplied with booze…

: 105…not to mention the crowd with free vodka shots.

: 106. being our local pub in dalikfodda’s home resort, this was always going to be a good show, but jettblack absolutely rocked it. meanwhile the snow fell gently outside.

: 107. there was a lot of love in the audience.

: 108. jettblack’s performance went from strength to strength as they established a new fan base in tignes…

: 109….as well as keeping some old fans happy

: 110. as the end of jettblack’s set approached, the free vodka was still flowing and the party had really kicked in.

: 111. although partaking in some of the free booze, the bar staff (unlike last year) held it together and did a really splendid job!

: 112. the gents took the stage and the bar went mental. many of the crowd had witnessed one of their previous performances in tignes and had a good idea of what was coming.

: 113. pom especially went bonkers; trying to crowd surf. everyone had a fucking good old mosh.

: 114. knowing the crowd were putty in their hands, the gents launched into their first song only to have the power cut out. dougy did a dance interpretation of half of the first song.

: 115. whilst the gents and others sorted the power some rockers couldnt contain themselves anymore and resorted to cannibalism

: 116. with power restored, the gents proceeded to rock tres hard,

: 117. and tattoo from jettblack got into the party spirit by showing some seasonaires how to proper mosh like.

: 118. atko was absolutely in his element…

: 119….as were will and matt,

: 120. but skip wanted to get to the front to see who had the longest beard

: 121. by the last half of the gents set the free vodka was all given out and there was nothing left to do but party!

: 122. and at the end of the much demanded encore, the loop bar was full of happy faces.

: 123. having gone to jacks the previous night at the drop of a hat, it would have been rude not to after one of the best dalik parties ever!

: 124. once in jacks, tattoo told schoph about his pole dancing alter ego…

: 125….who turned out to be hilarious….but a bit shit at pole dancing.

: 126. the rest of the night basically invloved testicles, beer and crap music, but most people stayed out till the lights came on.

: 127. morning came. solid cloud, snow and wind. all the lifts were shut and most of us stayed in bed…except shitgoose, vince and sam…

: 128….keenhead crew went out on a mission to find something to shred.

: 129. they found a ledge and shitgoose did a 5-0. this pic got in method

: 130. he then found this ledge and did a 50-50 to faceplant. there was barely even time to laugh though as we had to head over to val d’isere.

: 131. this being an apres set we arrived mid afternoon to find the place looking like a full on youth club; full of kids on the internet sipping lattes and cokes.

: 132. after the party the night before, and look of the place, spirits were a little low…

: 133. will however is always full of good ideas and suggested a few beers.

: 134. tom and the boys bravely played through the hangovers and the crowd slowly strated to get involved.

: 135. sam obviously took will’s suggestion to heart as this was one of the his only photos of the show that day, during which the bar staff sprayed everyone with cava and dougy accidently glassed someone whilst trying to sling his rum and coke back over the bar. no harm done though…

: 136….well not much anyway. nothing a few stitches and beers can’t sort out. good job aussies are real men.

: 136. so i wonder what sam was taking pictures of?…

: 137….here he is…so basically girls and himself. nice work.

: 139. dougy had to carry on playing as atko didnt see what happened. he looked a bit pale with worry mind.

: 140. and sam found his comfort zone shooting posh birds.

: 141. the legendary dalik rep moff from yorkshire was in attendance and brought a good crew up with him.

: 142. the crowd had really started to hot up and not just because of the raw rock. inhaling green chartreuse fumes through a straw, up your nostril is not for the faint hearted. certainly gets the party going though.

: 143. schoph and gumby

: 144. shitgoose and tom did some switch ballroom dancing..

: 145….girls got hammered on aforementioned gas chambers…

: 146….and schoph took up smoking,

: 147. and we all ate pizza in a corridoor. later there was some kind of gash party on in val so we decided to head back to tignes for our last night.

: 148. last beers in tignes.

: 149. after a good nights kip it was time to pack the vans under grey skies for the return leg to mayrhofen.

: 150. then there was nothing to do but say bye to our friends at the dragon lodge and hit the road…

: 151….passing this place cheered me up a bit. if i founded a city thats what i’d call it too.

: 152. overall it was quite a mellow journey though and we had jack shack (not pictured) hitchhiking with us.

: 153. jack was entertained along the way by the gents freestyle rapping, no doubt inspired somewhat by the doobies!

: 154. with no erroneous satnav detours, we arrived at the gasthof zillertal with time for beers and pizza before setting up

: 155. looking like a cross between dracula’s castle and byker grove the gasthof is a mad old building full of dutch teenagers. we knew this show would be interesting.

: 156. the place was heaving with drunken youths before jettblack even got on stage. their numbers were further swelled by all the friends of dalikfodda in town for the jib-vid. sweatfest 3000 was on.

: 157. with jettblack’s hand painted faithful jostling with the drunken mass, the party got as mental as the one in morzine.

: 158. the temperature rapidly became hot enough to melt lead and pretty soon the room was filled with some kind of sweat vapour. tattoo had no option but to strip down. he wouldn’t be the last…

: 159….although to his credit, tom stayed fully clothed throughout.

: 160. after their show jettblack found time to mingle with some of their more committed fans.

: 161. wolfy looked like he really enjoyed the gig, although damian doyle looked a bit tired. we keeping you up mate?

: 162. it was soon time for the gents to take to the stage and stu took the topless drumming one step further by getting down to his pants. soon to be standard.

: 163. shack and jono were well excited to see some 70’s flavours.

: 164. and not to disapoint, the gents rocked it to the tumultuous crowd. they made up stupid lyrics to some parts of the songs, but everyone was too pissed to notice.

: 165. the youth club theme persisted with dutch kids half fighting and half cuddling, but on the whole the crowd was on good form.

: 166. upon completion of their set, the gents, especially the half naked stu, had to run the gauntlet of ass slaps, especially from a very scary couger.

: 167. meanwhile me and jon had a few booze’s after the show…

: 168….while tattoo and danzig usd their charms to flog some merch.

: 169. stu decided to continue the ‘underwear only’ theme back in the room where he and shitgoose danced in their pants for several hours to treats such as phil collins and the beastie boys. that’s family entertainment. see march’s entry entitled easy lover for the full performance.

: 170. the next day was jib-vid (see seperate blog post), so we were up the hill dressed as zombies for the day and spent the evening with jettblack in a basement. in the meantime, the gents went back to the wellness centre.

: 171. the last day of jibvid was an open session in the park, so we headed up for a shred. jack decided that a flat light kicker session was on.

: 172. as the light improved, so did the riding. jack shack, bs5.

: 173. tyler chorlton, fs7

: 174. nelson pratt, fs7.

: 175. stepping up to the meaty cross channel gap, shack boosts a monster indy tweak.

: 176. quickly followed by will tarbet with this huge bs5.

: 177. after hitting penken’s big jumps for a while, we opted for a shred on the rainbow. ian thrashmore, front board.

: 178. rich hookes – british big air champion of the universe. noseslide.

: 179. all this was under the watchful gaze of schoph schophield the 1st from europe.

: 180. billy neilson AKA billy vd AKA the boy. bs noseslide.

: 181. nelly p, front board.

: 182. will tarbet however has an aversion to keeping his board on the floor. 50-50 to fs1 indy to flat. niiiiice.

: 183. at the end of the day there was just time for a mini session on the snow stair set. ian thrashmore bs1.

: 184. shitgoose, fs 1.

: 185. after a splendid day on the hill what could be better than a couple of hours in an austrian apres bar? a few beers and lots of mental austrian house/folk music, with ski instructors dancing around. they were quickly joined by shitgoose and billy

: 186. that night was the jib vid awards ceremony. the night started off with stu in his pants….

: 187….and stu’s styles must have rubbed off cos soon after the films were shown, people were having their t-shirts ripped off and being painted blue. here i am explaining that the sabbath sleeveless is not getting (more) ripped.

: 188. dalikkountant and rider lynsey – blue.

: 189. this is the finnish nutter joonas who perpetrated much of the shirt ripping and body painting.

: 190. by about 2am we had to bail. vince’s slightly blue and very pale face says it all. nice austrian hat though!

: 191. the next day, jettblack and schoph had to shoot across to zurich. the gents headed back to the sauna, so came out looking very healthy.

: 192. sam on the other hand, summed up the day by looking like the living dead. we spent about 2 hours waiting for the gents in a hotel lobby, whilst watching the massive influx to hof of british idiots for snowbombing.

: 193. in the meantime, jettblack played an acoustic set in a zurich snowboard shop…

: 194….while schoph wandered around zurich looking for kandi coded. anyone seen some americans?

: 195. he eventually found them. hello jamie.

: 196. there was just time for introductions, drinks and a few shots before heading across to nic ripz’s art studio.

: 197. once there, jamie painted one of his pro models…

: 198….and also did a piece on the gallery wall with nic.

: 199. jack endino and growler jammed out and had a few more drinks.

: 200. and the painting ended up looking rather good. nice boobies.

: 201. a few more protraits then it was time to take the drive up to laax for the last show of the tour at the brits.

: 202. the day after arriving, i had the opportunity to go shredding with jamie lynn and little will smith. even though the weather was shit, it was a memorable day!

: 203. straight off the hill and into a sound check, we got the riders palace ready for the first ever proper rock night at the brits.

: 204. by the time soundcheck was complete and the club was ready, the dalik faithful were already making their presence felt in the bar upstairs. this was going to be some party.

: 205. we ordered some dinner and hung out for a bit, waiting for the party to start.

: 206. meanwhile the gents chilled in the venue and passd some time trying to teach shitgoose to count…

: 207….and jettblack, knowing that showtime was imminent, practiced their war faces!

: 208. just as they were about to get onstage, jettblack were accosted by chatt, who, despite a broken femur, had dragged his carcass from milton keynes to laax to see the show!

: 209. as the hand of god struck the hour, jettblack stepped out onto the stage…

: 210….and the faithful made their presence felt. the atmosphere was bangtidy.

: 211. with a dozen or so of their most die-hard fans up the front, jettblack settled into a steamroller performance.

: 211. the momentum and atmosphere kept on building throughout the set…

: 213…and continued to keep the fans enthralled until the last song

: 214. see? jo and liz are enthralled.

: 215. with the quality of the sound and stage it was clear that the boys enjoyed this one and it proper came through in their performance.

: 216. towards the end of the set legendary grunge producer jack endino showed up, and was even sporting a hippy killer dalik tie dye t. niiice.

: 217. finnishing with the anthem ‘get your hands dirty’, jettblack completed their shithouse tour and boy did they do us proud. we salute you lads!

: 218. at this point shitgoose got so excited he did a little wee.

: 219. and the gents made their way to the stage, pausing only for a band portrait in the ‘lap dance club stairwell.’

: 220. barely giving the crowd time to catch their breath, the gents fired up round 2.

: 221. immediately finding their feet, the gents ripped into one of the finest sets ive ever seen them play (and i’ve seen a few). oh and who’s that handsome fella crouching stage centre?

: 222. this was just as well cos by now it was the witching hour and the crowd were in full on party spirit.

: 223. also enjoying the sound and the space and knowing that the audio ws being recorded through the sound desk each one of the gents played to their fullest.

: 224. chris even pulled out his signature ‘behind the head solo!’ sickout.

: 225. due to the apparent banner ban in the venue, we were forced to use sam from kandi coded as a sandwich board.

: 226. it was about this time that schoph developed a drinking problem…and had to be helped.

: 227. and dougy was playing so hard he started to spontaneously combust…

: 228….meanwhile, backstage, jettblack’s manager les was giving his professional opinion on their set.

: 229. atko and co. continued to wow the crowd throughout the set with an amazing show and compelling stage presence.

: 230. by the end of the show, the crowd were stoked as hell and so was our sandwich board. the gents got a sick live recording from the night and no doubt picked up a raft load of new fans.

: 231. as kandi coded started their set it was immediately apparent that they are a straight up heavy rock band without any pretension. a strong seatte sound for sure!

: 232. they had even written a playlist down incase they got carried away and forgot where they were up to

: 232. jack endino proved to be quite a dab hand on the guitar.

: 233. given that the venue and the brits had been so difficult about us letting anyone know that this event was part of the shithouse tour, the kandi boys kindly sported some dalik t’s for the show.

: 234. as their set went on, the crowd got proper hyped, with gigi ruf at stage front spitting beer and going all out.

: 235. the boys took it all in their stride and put down a solid performance.

: 236. as the last song came, the call went up for the turbojugend (me and schoph) to come on stage and sing a cover of the turbonegro song self destrcto bust. i sang really badly, but fucking loved it!

: 237. with the tour now officially over, it was time to get heavily involved mit die partymaxi grosse – jah?!

: 238. as we packed up the kit in the van, the boys had time for congratulations an a bit of R&R.

: 239. after packing the van we returned to the venue to polish off the rest of the beer rider and hang out.

: 240. schoph instigated a beer skulling session, although vince looks like he lost his and growler looks like he threw his down his t-shirt!

: 241. with a plan hatched for tequila and spliffs upstairs, there was just one thing left to do…

: 242….we got all the crew, musicians, sonsors, riders and friends together for one shithouse team photo. this is one of my favourtite dalikfodda pics ever. the end of the tour and a couple of weeks never to be forgotten.

: 243. the next day was a bit hazy, but with jettblack and the gents having set off home, we took the kandi guys up the mountain and went for a little shred and a couple of beers. they even played kyuss at the mountain bar.

: 244. we continued the theme back down the hill and then went out for a last meal and session with kandi coded before they left for hossegor.

: 245. now with nothing left to do, we celebrated by giving shitgose’s board a makeover, and then going out and getting really, really drunk. hey! we were now on holiday!!

: 246. somewhere in the boozyness i agreed to shoot with alex shore the next morning, so at 10:30 the next morning i found myself still pissed riding this rail…with hilarious consequences. it took about 3 meaty slams to get this shot. good job the booze also acts as a painkiller!

: 247. somewhere on the way up the hill we met up with shitgoose, who laid down this fs layback slash in the pipe.

: 248. schoph however assumed the holiday position.

: 249. jenny turned up that day, so obviously another night out was on the cards.

: 250. this was followed by another day shooting with alex. 5-0 to bs1.

: 251. by this time we were getting quite into going to parties where we had absolutely nothing to do.

: 252. i spent part of our last day watching the slopestyle finals. rich hookes fs7

: 253. with just enough time for an ian flip before calling it a day and heading down the hill to get ready to leave.

: 254. i bailed to take a flight home, but shitgoose, schoph and hippy drove all the way from laax back to the ferry. mmmm. tasty! as you might guess they look pretty relieved to have made it.

: 255. arriving back to shitgoose’s in brighton, there was nothing for it but to have a few drinks and then pass out in a pile of empties. tour: done! bodies: knackered! heads: wrecked! same time next year? you can bet your grandma on it.

paddy is a skier who has been with us since the early days. here at dalik hq we cant be fucked with the ski vs. snowboard debate. its bullshit. paddy rides a mountain very well, hails from yorkshire, likes a guinness and listens to hard rock music. he is as much dalikfodda as any snowboarder.

this edit is gnarly too. he does some wild moves. you can check more of his riding in the new legs of steel movie ‘nothing else matters’ available FOR FREE.

rail schooling with jon russell

dalikfodda team rider jr has released this ‘welcome to lobster’ edit. shot with grindhouse over just a couple of sessions, it goes to show what can be done. like chatt and smiths edits, every trick is 100% legit. no harsh zeaches here. jonny is a rail machine and is his own harshest critic; if you have to check a trick was right, it wasn’t, so do it again. thats what gets you a sweet part. take note kids.
