December top 3 - Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey

December top 3 - Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey
It's been a great month so far for UK-related video releases so here's Black Sheep's December top 3 - Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey.     First up, the latest in the Atlantic Drift series: Jacob Harris continues to disprove the tired moan that 'the Internet is ruining skateboard videos' by dropping yet another sublimely re-watchable clip via Thrasher Magazine. The tenth Atlantic Drift sees the extended crew over in Russia sampling post-Soviet marble and some of the roughest looking bank spots this side of Blackburn. If you've watched the previous episodes of Atlantic Drift then you'll know what to expect: if you haven't - dive into the Atlantic Drift back catalogue here. Once you've watched this month's Thrasher cover star Tom Knox destroying Moscow, you could do a lot worse than to check out our massive range of Thrasher clothing (including a huge sale section) and/or pick yourself up some New Balance Numeric kicks and help support the dudes behind this pinnacle of Internet skateboarding. Who knows? They might even release them all on DVD one day. Also, if you appreciate Photoshop comedy - go check out this Tom Knox/Mike Arnold merriment here. December top 3 – Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey         Following that banger is the latest VX1000 drop from UK brand Skateboard Cafe entitled 'Sonata'. Coming in at a steady 10 minutes, this is another bog break worthy pause for anyone who has missed it so far. Featuring the likes of Sam Nobbs, Ollie Lock, Francis Peters, Dom Henry, Korahn Gayle, Josh Arnott, Harry Ogilvie, Shaun Currie, Savannah Stacey Keenan and the stair chomping Layth Sami - this is Skate Cafe at its best: Bristol and London heavy, jazz music and archaic camera aesthetics. Can't go wrong really. Sit down and take a sip.     If you're still hungry for UK related Internet enjoyment then look no further than Blondey McCoy's first post-Palace skateboards full-lengther (well, Internet 'full lengther' at least). Now you're fucked if watching this makes you thirsty for a pair of his see-through adidas Skateboarding Superstar 80's, as we sold out of them in 5 hours but, the video clip is still more than worth a watch. He's an divisive character is Blondey - to some he's an over-privileged kid whose skateboarding is over shadowed by his fashion persona but, to just as many, he's a UK based ripper following a sponsorship path almost unthinkable five years ago. Either way, he's got a mean ollie impossible on him. Still not keen on the Kanye track though... With that said - whilst you can't purchase his transparent skate shoes from us any more (unless there's a post-Christmas re-stock) - you can still get yourself knee deep in solid adidas Skateboarding footwear as we have absolutely shed loads of it in stock. Peep these Metropolitan adidas Superstar 80's below for a similar vibe, only without the potential for showing off your verrucas. Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey If you're still not satisfied then we strongly recommend that you jump straight onto Instagram and follow @meetatbenjys for a glimpse into Dan Magee's massive archive of Blueprint skateboards VX1000 gold right now. Over and out... December top 3 - Atlantic Drift, Skate Cafe and Blondey
