Chicken


Right, everyone knows the number 1 food the dD team love is chicken, not just any chicken, cheap fried chicken. So we took it upon ourselves to test all the best chicken joints out around town and tell you where you should be eating.

First stop for us was Chicken Cottege, this is a favourite of many skateboarders, they like to hit up the chicken poppers and chips combo.


Hopper was pretty happy with the quality, he will only eat chicken from the bone so you know no one has been fucking about with it. His verdict though, was 6/10.


Liam got a selection of chicken and thought it was so good he couldn't help but suck on them bones. Good eatin'!


Next spot was King's Chicken. Looks pretty fancy compared to most.


The food here even came on a plate, with salad and dressing, although this was pretty pointless, it is a fried chicken shop, even if you sell peri peri and have knives and forks you aren't quite Nandos. We even found a buy one get on free on fried chicken flyer on the floor and we were all over that shit.


Liam wasn't a fan of the skin, and we all know the best part of fried chicken is the skin. Verdict - Weak.


The one the only KFC.


Never a let down, although the first time we went today they had no chicken, which is a sick sick sick sick joke to me. The colonel needs to sort that out.


We then went cruising on a hunt for any others that we couldn't think of on our way to Dixy Chicken...


but we know are shit and didn't bump into any. I usually only go here after a night out, and have seen a friend that shall not be named whitey into a bag a couple of times here. The mega mix burger is what it is all about usually, but sober I cannot handle it at all.


This guy must eat a lot of chicken...


Josh went for one of the cheap ones...


Verdict - Over it.


I am going to say you can't really beat good old KFC, maybe the Colonel is having a few problems, with the one on Northumberland street closing down and having no chicken at one point, but I am still going to give him 'Digital Deekies Chicken Shop of the Year 2009'

After all those chickens we ate we thought we would hit some real street spots. This was the first day it was actually dry in a long time.

Not many people hit up these stairs but they are sick, the ground is pretty rough and it is in such a sketchy area, but it can be a good session.


Second stair tail slides...


As it got later, it got much colder, next spot - Newcastle college.


Nothing really went down, these pictures just show we were there.


We were pretty over paying for the Centre of Life ice rink, so hit up this raw one...


Afro Josh killed it!


CLIPSSSS...


Love Adam.

Pardon me for being rude. It was not me, it was my food..

Christmas dinner got the best of me, so did the booze. But i promise the montage will be out soon!

In the meantime, here's a few snaps from the other day...






Also have a little deekie at my flickr

Dan
It was a cold cold night last night and for some reason we decided to brave it to go skate bridges at night.


Bish was on filming duties and his hands nearly turned to choco-ice whilst doing so. We lit up the block and had a session until we ran out of tape and went home to warm up by the log fire and watch Bad Santa.

However bangers went down, here's a cheeky one for your viewing pleasure.




Also here is a clip from the never released documentary Reclaim Your Fame. One day when I stop being lazy I'll finish it and we can all find out the real reason Mini John quit skating to be part of the 'Lads on Tour'.

Snowy Sunday

This was the sight as I stepped off the bus to Bridges today, praying under the bridge didn't look the same...


This Christmas elf was treating people to some hammers and that...


Then this bunch sat dow, didn't skate and did horrible things to young girls...


The main man Mellon is back in town, he braved the cold and came skating after a wild wild night...


David Hopper is also back, so lock up your daughters, this sex pest doesn't take any prisoners on the dance floor, just wait for the videos.


Bish was filming for a Uni project, which was the reason people stayed so late, but unfortunatly the cameras were stuck in Hartlepool and the generator didn't work.


He was so over it, he considered playing with the traffic...


Gully man dems...


Love Adam.

London again

So I haven't been blogging much because I always forget my camera or I forget to take photos when I have it but here's a cheeky few photos.

Dan came down for Manny Mania. It was freezing cold and I was over skating it as Sean Smith was doing nollie front heel switch manny on the kicker to block pretty much every go.

After Manny Mania we went to Morley's chicken shop to get some legit ghetto chicken. Morley's chicken is right next to my flat and recently made headline news for someone having their hand chopped off with a machete in there. Realise.





So I blogged quite hard when Dan was here but on my film camera so hopefully I'll get that developed and we can have a v2 of this blog.




This weekend was my last weekend skating in the big smoke. We decided to go to London Bridge because we had the day off but it turned out it was shut so being gully we hopped the fence.


London Bridge park is sick. You have to be in the right mood for it but if you're up for it it's sick. Loads of transition, loads of blocks and loads of things to much about on. The vert wall at the back is particularly superb.

The night before we'd hit the session and I had my head split open off a girl so we quickly realised that being in a skatepark covered in bird shit in the freezing cold was not the best idea so we did. We hopped back out and then just skated around London till it went dark.

Since I have very little to blog here's my mate Tom doing a big ol tre at Mile End.
