Kris Markovich guest boards will land in June. If your reaction was WTF!?! when you read those words you wouldn't be the first. I thought that too. I said to him - "If someone had told me 20 years ago that I would start a skateboard company and have Alex Moul and then Kris Markovich as guest riders, I would have said they were crazy!" "But here we are, and I could not be more stoked." Mr Markovich is working on his graphic and we'll have that to show you soon. Will keep y'all posted!
FancyLad DVDs are here!!! A very limited edition and unique video. Check out some of the most fun having skateboarders around and see what they get up to on their fun planks. FancyLad are and is: http://fancyladskateco.blogspot.co.uk/
Every DVD comes with a custom artwork cover and some other good stuff too. Goto our SHOP and bag yourself a copy.
We've got some U.K. exclusive FancyLad decks and DVDs coming over to Wight Trash HQ. Coming in May, these fine ass fun planks won't be around for long so pre orders are being taken now for both the VHS and the Triple Muska graphic decks. If you want 1 or maybe 3 contact us.
First time we've done Cruiser boards, so to have Mouly ones done first is double stoking (if that's a word). Very very Ltd edition run of these - only 5 made - so get in there quick and bag yourself one.
New Mouly decks have landed with new coloured plys under the graphic. The Alex Moul Moonchild guest rider decks now come in the original plain wood bottom, and also come now with a red ply a green ply and an orange bottom as well.
EXCLUSIVE to Wight-Trash.com- Paradise Wheels are here!!!!! So hyped we've got these exclusive to us in the U.K.. Paradise, if you didn't know, is John Montesi's wheel company - he of New Deal skateboards and Westside Skateshop fame. Youtube John Montesi's 1281 section and check him out. He had a massive influence on my skating in the 1990's, so I'm so stoked to be representing him now. Look out for a couple of tricks of John on DANG! too.
Monster 9 inch team decks have landed for the first time at Wight Trash HQ. "Finally something for my hideously deformed and enormous 6 toed feet to ride" , said Greg Nowik in a made up conversation I just made up.
Alex Moul's new Moon Child guest graphic now available!
We've teamed up with the legendary Don Brider and given his 1990's graphic a little Wight Trash twist. Available in - 7.5, 7.75, 8, 8.25, 8.5 and 9 inch as well. Get em while you can.
Mr B provides the music and and Greg provides the skating in the soon to be released, Today Was A Good Day video.
Exclusive track from The Gentleman Rhymer and some NBD tricks (most of them early grabs admittedly ;) from Mr Nowik.
Will of course keep y'all posted
The video footage of long ago times surfaced recently, the times of You Bet!, a saturday night challenge show that was hosted by Darren Day and Jet from Gladiators (circa 1996).
It shows someone falling off, a lot - John Cattle.
"Our practice was fine, everyone stayed on, and then that bell-ringer Darren Day brought up that it would be watched by about 10,000,000 people ...... and so after visualising that many people.... my legs wouldn't work right!"
excuses, excuses .....
Harvey Mills from Skateboarding Photo magazine came to the Island and made the below linked feature on the Island AM team.
The opening photo is of Jesse Pullin, Toby Booth, Sean Dawson & John Cattle posing in our very own, much loved, 'SkateShack' (sorted for us by Charlie- Headfirst Watersports)
Also featured in the photo is a vacuum cleaner that was en-route to the dump, but instead got taken out the car, tied to a log by its electrical cord, and then pole jammed over by Ash Gulliver. Booom!
-This was the first trick Ash had done since breaking his back.
Huge thanks to Harvey and Charlie

Very Limited Edition - Alex Moul guest board. Comes with a graphical idea by the man himself, which was then designed and put onto the board's face by Tomsy. Available in 4 sizes to suit your foot - 7.5, 7.75, 8 and 8.25. Comes with a sticker of full graphic and a couple of extras too.
The Wight Trash Team Deck is the first time we've gone past the 8.25 inches mark and up to a beastly 8.5. And is also the first time we've issued both a traditional Street and a Vert (longer wheelbased) version to choose from. So now all you vert and bowl dawgs have something to shred with too.
Ol' Magic Feet himself has a new graphic out - which comes in 7.5, 7.75 and 8 inch models. This graphic originally came from the paintbrush of Avi, (actual painting size is 3ft high), and is an image of one of Avi's favourite humans - Syd Barrett.
