If you’ve been keeping up with the recent Blueprint related news you are bound to find this pretty funny.

Well it’s been a hard secret to keep but Paul Shier and Nick Jensen’s new company name is now out in the world for all to know: ISLE.

The name drop comes with the information that Chris Jones is the sixth team rider. Hope to see some good stuff from these boys soon!

Check out their slick site here.

Jon Nguyen is number 5! Only one to go, I wonder if it’ll be another ex-Blueprint rider…

Is it time to say goodbye to Southbank?

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:35:48 +0000

Yesterday the Daily Mail and a bunch of other newspapers announced the Southbank centre’s plans for its new Festival Wing. They involve giving the Hayward gallery a face-lift and as you can expect that means getting rid of London’s most iconic skate spot. The news was met with an uproar from the skateboarding community, but it still seems like quite a lot of people consider our opinion completely irrelevant. Here’s what I mean:

“Balls to skateboarders! When will they realise that it’s NOT the 1980s and they are NOT Marty Mcfly?!?”

I can’t say I was expecting Daily Mail readers be passionate about skateboarding (or brutalist architecture), but that’s one of the most insane comments I’ve ever read! Do you reckon his girlfriend cheated on him with a skater or something?

Anyway, if you want take part in the discussions revolving around this whole issue here is probably a good place to start.

You can also watch this clip to find out why they aren’t satisfied with the current state of the buildings, you’ll even catch a glimpse of one of Jensen’ backside flip attempts over the barrier!

This mysterious company’s second announcement seems to hint that Paul Shier and Nick Jensen will be communicating the name of a new rider every week. Now that we know Brady definitely won’t be a part of this new venture, I’m very curious as to who the remaining 4 riders might be…

Slam Skates have asked Nick Jensen to tell us a little bit about his involvement with the new company he is starting with Paul Shier. Sadly, we’ll have to wait until March to find out what it’s going to be called, but a least we something to look forward to. The future’s is looking bright.
