About 18 months ago or so we featured the locally produced 6:57 skate video by Rob Crawford which featured local skaters from both the Portsmouth and Southampton areas. Rob recently uploaded the video in sections to YouTube, below is Bored team rider Adam Keys’s section plus an unseen edit of Jak Tonge ‘offcut’ footage filmed at the same time as the 6:57 video. Radness!
The 6:57 Skate Crew have set up an online shop so you can now grab a copy of their latest film from the comfort of your own home. The DVDs are available for £8 including delivery. Bargain. Check it out HERE.
All orders will be posted on Friday 18th December when the DVDs arrive, buying one now means I can get the packages ready and labelled and get them to the post office quicker. Its probably the last chance to get a copy before Christmas!

This coming new year we will be proud to announce our latest exhibition PRIMARY, a Phoneography exhibition by Strong Island and we are even happier to announce that it’s open to you, the readers.
With the continuing increase in impressive camera technology in mobile phones and the ability to alter, tweak, post process and upload the photos to social media networks and websites like Instagram, the popularity of Phoneography has never been greater.
The ‘of the moment’ ability to take a photo at almost any time and any place by most people has really driven the fact that the camera does not make the photographer. By which I mean, you don’t need an expensive camera to take outstanding photos.
Agreed, the quality of the physical image may not stand up to the big guns, but new learnings in composition, style and aesthetic by a new generation of camera users via online media has really driven this popularity, and encourage people to go beyond a ‘quick shot’.
PRIMARY invites you to get out and about around Portsea with your mobile phone camera and take photos of anything and everything based around the three primary colours red, yellow and blue. What you photograph is entirely up to you, but submissions will only be accepted if they stick to the theme.
The call for entires has now begun and the deadline is the 31st of January 2012 with the exhibition being held in March of 2012. Photos can be taken on any mobile phone model and we ask that a maximum of 3 photos per applicant are sent in to primary@strong-island.co.uk.
Please submit along with your photographs your name, photo title, phone model, location of photo on the island and any post process apps you used, if any, to achieve the final shot.
We look forward to seeing all the entries, and the final installation will be something special using every photo submitted in a slightly different fashion from your average photographic exhibition. CLICK HERE TO PRINT YOUR OWN POSTER
