Throwback Thursday #5 - Similie Magazine

This weeks Throwback Thursday is from october 2004. It's an article in a French Skateboarding Magazine called Similie on the Gallaz competition, Hossegor.

The comp was one of the best Euro Girls comps I've attended, the likes of Vanessa Torres and Violet Kimble were there ripping.

I went with my sister Rosie and she must've been 13 at the time.We stayed quite far away in Biarritz, which happened to be very expensive. Needless to say we run out of funds and had issues with no public transport on Sunday leading to hitch hiking and tinned peaches. Something she has never let me live down!

Recently I've become mates with brothers Jordan & Brandon La Roche. Jordan shoots photos, mostly of skateboarding, in and around West Sussex. We've skated together at Henfield skatepark a few times lately and he's been documenting some of the pics over on his blog http://jordanlaroche.tumblr.com/

Here's a couple of his shots
