Saffron Walden and Cantelowes

What does Dreamland concrete look like in the UK? The same as it does here, except really grainy and in black and white apparently. I’ve heard about the gray weather there, but come on. Check out this clip that looks like it’s from the UK’s Sidewalk Mag:

Check out this Kevin Parrott crafted clip from May Bank Holiday Weekend at Saffron Walden and Cantelowes, with Div Adam, Benson, Awadh, Aaron Sweeny, Kev the Plasterer and Mark Nicholson, with a cameo by sir Alex of Irvine.

These names don’t mean anything to me, but there is some ripping in the clip. Stick around until the end for a big warm fuzzy.

– Thanks to Nicky for the tip.

Saffron Walden is the Dreamland park (pics, more pics) with the bulk of the footage. I don’t know who built Cantelowes, or what is a Cantelowes.

  1. Has that naming your kid after a color thing caught on in the US? What the hell was that trick where the guy ollies to an over-rotated grind? That was sick!

  2. Thanks. That was good.

  3. White Awadh is Benson
    Black Benson is Awadh

    Cantelowes is not DL, it’s me/Dave North/Wheelscape – what Tom Miller called the Northwest Greatest Hits bowl.
    Saffron Walden is DL – the irregular peanut with the pool coping, the deep pit that Div skates and, of course, the fuzzy pole jam

    Yeah, come visit… as if you can tear yourselves away from the PNW

  4. White Awadh is Benson,
    Black Benson is Awadh

    both dudes just go by one name
    I forget commas/spaces/return

    that over-rotated grind is called a sugarcane. chris miller invented those. he did them in the planet earth video “now n’ later” circa ’90/’91. that guy div rips! i think he’s in the “fiends” section of the creature vid “born dead” too.
