Yesterday we searched for some new spots. We found this sick bank to rail where Chris did a big royale mute 180 out. After some cruising around Malta, we decided to end the day with a chill session at the Zejtun skatepark. We snapped this photo of Brandon doing a sick vertical soulstall.

4 months not blading for Brandon, due to a knee injury, which kept him behind the camera with a different role to what he normally is used to. Yesterday he decided to start getting back into it, so we spent a whole day skating different levels of spots....to find that confidence again. here he is testing what state his knee is in. Needless to say this was a happy day for him!

So Brandon learned how to edit, in the past couple of months, and decided to put together some leftover footage in this time capsule. Enjoy

The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain on saturday but when we looked out the window on saturday morning, it was bright and sunny! Another great day to skate was ahead. We went to the Zejtun skatepark for a quick warm up, just messing around in this little park. After that, we went to the infamous airport ledges. Brandon got himself a sweet new tripod, so we had to test it. Chris did a sick fishbrain on this ledge. After that, we went to this sick dropledge that we had been eyeballing for some time now, it had to be done. Jerry was the man for the task, he laced a stylisch royale, first try! 

Thanks for checking the blog again and there is more to come!

We are very happy that we have a new blader on the island! His name is Chris and he's from Germany. We filmed some clips yesterday at the Msida skatepark and here are two of them. Keep an eye out for this ripper, more to come!!

Again, it was a beauty of a day, so we just had to go out and enjoy the sun. We went to this set in Qormi which I wanted to delusional fakie 360. I had already landed it before, but way too sketchy so we came back to finish some unfinished business. I gapped the set with a Stale 180 first, which you can see in the first photo. After that I did the fakie 360 and we will use that for our new edit. After that we went to Birzebuggia and Brandon made this photo of me doing true makio. As Brandon is still injured and can't skate, we decided to go to one of the most beautiful places on Malta and have a beer in the sun.  

Keep an eye out for the next update, shouldn't take too long! - Alexander

Productive day! Today we went to the University area in Msida to skate some spots. Brandon told me there was a good set to learn wallrides (never did it on street!) We arrived and I landed the wallride to fakie 2nd try. Brandon shot this photo of it. After that, we walked to this pretty big set. I had never done such a big gap but the run up and landing where perfect, so why not. I landed it first try and Brandon snapped the photo again! After that we went to Sliema and I played around on some ledges, the savanah was shot while messing around. Brandon has injured his knee unfortunately but it gives him the chance to shoot more photos for the blog ;). Stay tuned for more! - Alexander

17 years ago, a very happy french boy stumbled upon our make shift park, with a huge smile and even bigger pants. being part maltese he kept coming back to our little island. Over the years this turned into a great friendship with many good times to be had. He now focuses most of his time in pioneering the world of light painting. keep your eyes out for this visual genius, our homie and fellow malteser Tim Marsh.

Check out his website: http://www.t-marsh.com

And a nice behind the scenes movie about his light painting photos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOu0iyB_4jU&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL5YC8tyJffWALDyfLSNyMIWoqpHi4Hg-i
