Pete Adam BMXer and film maker has teamed up with SurfDome and Nike to make a short documentary style vid with 4 skaters from both North and South, Katie, Grace, Claudia and Jess. The vid follows them skating about Belfast with a bit of commentary on what inspires and motivates them to skate. The National Skateboards have put out a new piece featuring everyones favourite Dipshit Denis Lynn the Vid entitled 'MMXX' has a short snippet of what Denis has been up to lately. John Finucan and Nathan Allison from Ireland, have been living in Korea for several years now, accompanied by a load of ex-pats from various other countries, have got together and made a full length Edit called 'Lurkorea', Korea seems to be a level on Tony Hawk Pro Skater because the spots are bangin'. The edit has a few tricks from Cian Eades and the Limerick hit squad, when they went out to visit the boys in Seoul.
