News, news, news…

OK I know this is supposed to be a news section which has been way out of date. We are in the middle of changing stuff on the site so it’s easier to update (cheers mat). So here is a bit of news from the last six months.

Adam Aulaqi had a sick pic in Document mag doing a no-comply FS wallride… kingy did yer proud. Jake Anderson got his 1st 540, well done mate (link).

We have some new decks out; Tubelight, Impression & Wavbe. Go buy one now… then grip and rip it.

Channon had a sequence in the contents page of Sidewlak mag - FS blunt f***ing sick one Channon. Photo by Ollie Whitehead / Sidewalk mag.

New Rider
Bristol local Owen Hopkins joins the karma team. Check out some of his footage here. He has been killing it of late, check the Road Gap BS Heel below.

Also watch out for owen’s guest part in the Harmonys big push edit!

Sidewalk mag should be out any day, look out for the Karma article about the trip to Bahrian, with riders Pete King, Joe Nobes, Adam Aulaqi, Channon Wallace with TM Adam Mondon. Here is a little bit of footage and Mondons words…

In April a few of the Karma Team were invited to Bahrain for a Festival promoting the Grand Prix. The riders that went were - Pete King, Adam Aulaqi, Joe Nobes & Channon Wallace.

Also on the trip were Sidewalk’s Andy Horsely and I-Five TM Adam Mondon on filming duties.
Bahrain Trip

We had five days to make the most of the trip that included skating at the festival and shooting an article for Sidewalk. The whole time we were there was blazing sunshine and most of that was above 30 degrees. It never went below 20 degrees, even in the night.

After our two or so days sting at the festival skating some dodgy home made ramps we set about doing the article. We had guides in the form of the local skateboarders in Bahrain.

They were stoked to have us over and made us feel very welcome, so hats off to them. For a place that we made up from alot of desert, there were a good selection of spots for us.

All the lads did there best and we got enough for an article as well as the web edit. The fruits of their labour will be shown in the August Sidewalk Mag.

Thanks to Sidewalk, I-Five and the skateboarders of Bahrain for everything.
