Scott Hobbs Bourne - A Room With No Windows

[Gray]

Horsey's boardslide at War of the Roses at The Works springs to mind, although I didn't query him on his over it-ness

I guess most want to get it but the fun slowly fades in those circumstances.

Hitting himself in the face while saying "I hate this life of mine!" when at Stockport skatepark was amusing.

I remember that!! I have that on footage somewhere on a dusty vhs tape.. That demo and the one at liverpool and bolton also... He also was a fan of punching quarter pipes when he missed a trick...Haha thanks for reminding me of that voodoo!

apart from my ma, my wife, my daughter and matt hensley - Les Zeppelin is my favourite person in the world

Damn....so close!

The moral of the story kids: never try...

Haha, that's probably why he bums Bukowski so much these days.

Always liked Bourne, although his poetry is a bit 6th form for me. I'd like to see him wear vests and skate like it's 1998 again, but I think skateboarding has lost him to beige cardigans and loafers now.

Come back angry Scott!

For anyone who's interested, the gallery will be open from 6-9pm for the launch.

The short reading will be at 8pm - at which time the doors will be closed.

There's plenty of other good shit in the gallery and Chaz, the owner, isn't stush with the free booze - none of that 'suggested donation' crap.

Hopefully see a few of you there.

Can't believe I spent all that time transcribing that interview with Scott and couldn't get a photo out of him. We'd go skating and he'd jump onto insane things and then be over it (boardslide on that concrete rail in the Lovenskate teaser recently and 50-50 this rail outside someone's kitchen window near Trellick Towers), and then not bother going back to film or photograph them.

Mad as a box of self-centred frogs, but with a heart of gold (to me, at least).

That's encouraging to hear - always hoped he'd be cool. The whole doing amazing, sick stuff and then not going back to it reminds me of a few dudes. I don't think it's being self-centered, I just think they see skateboarding differently.

He (or SLAP) should do a little pamphlet book of all the Black Box articles, they were really good
