I think we could do a little rendezvous/Battle at the berrics/battle at the herrics/ just games of skate and film it.

I could put it/send it to my local newstation and they can do a little article on it.

I could contact them on doing a little article for the newspaper or the news and do an article on fingerboarding.

Is that a good idea?

holy shit that's epic congrats
I'd just go for something like 15 seconds flatland, 15 seconds flips to grinds, then 30 seconds on the winkler dos
haha, something like that?

Woah Kerry that's awesome
I swear thom was going to be on a show like this...
I really have no idea what to suggest unfortunately.

Hmm, here's a few...
Most tricks in a time limit
Most unique tricks in a time limit
Most consecutive landed tricks
Most consecutive unique landed tricks
Highest kickflip or other trick over an obstacle
Most tricks in a combo

How about a game of skate vs. A real skater... say he does a kickflip you do the same accept on a fingerboard...

Congrats Kerry!

This is an epic idea.

And would it be possible for youto get the taping on the internet so us in the sttaes could watch?

Me Thom and Will have been talking to the BBC about this for a while now.

^well, I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I've been talking to them about this since half way through when I was in sweden, but, yea, I didn't know they were talking to you guys.

I think flatland tricks in 30 seconds is best, from what I've got here and on FFI suggestions wise.. the game of skate is really interesting too though!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone

Yeah, they originally got in touch with me about it, rang me up and stuff like that asking about fingerboarding in general. Then i told them how fingerboarding is all about friends and the scene, and how it would be good if i have my mates on it with me, hence how Eddie and Will got involved. To me it's not about the money at all, otherwise i would have gone ahead and done it alone, haha

I've done all the paperwork and stuff like that, that's involved, so at least that's sorted.


And really Kerry, you shouldn't be publicly showing the format of the show.. Look in the T&C..

thanks, didn't realise I shouldn't have that here, removed it here and deleted it from ffi.

When I got asked it sounded like they wanted me to do it alone, I asked about getting friends on it to do it with me, but never really got a response back to that bit of what I said so I figured it was a solo thing. I filled out the application too. But if you guys are doing it well, yea, I don't want to stand in your way, I'll back out, basically. It was never about the money, if I won I was gonna buy a park for unite and start a sort of UK version of the harrics, get people to come and film videos on it, but, nah. You three would showcase fingerboarding much better than I would, so I'm out. Good luck guys

That idea sounds awesome, you should really do this Kerry. Don't back out.

yeah Kerry. i say go for it.

its not Thoms/Eddies/Wills gig. far from it.

thats obvious by 'whoever' moonlighting with yourself.

in fact it sounds like this 'show' maybe even called 'holdens bbc chatshow' might even be a meet for all uk fingerboarders by how its going......LOL.

i say dont believe the bollocks. do what you want. GO FOR IT. a park for unite sounds sick if you win

Kerry, they asked you ASWELL as thom
all 4 of you would be a Hella lot better than 3 of you go for it man.
what better person to rep the British scene than the owner of the biggest UK (and probably 3rd biggest worldwide) fingerboard blog, AND the head guy from the biggest UK forum? do it. all 4 of you.

it juts says removed....

^yea, if you missed the main post then sorry but I removed it. Thom had a point, I misread part of the T&C, I thought it was not to share withthe press but it said not to share with the press and/or a third party, which I guess could mean here, so, yea, taken it down.

I've got some good suggestions for tricks, so I'll think on it if thom + eddie + will aren't gonna dislike me for it. Maybe all 4 of us would be a good idea, but I don't want to intrude on their group or anything. I mean, I know you guys say go for it but the least I want is to creative a rift in the UK scene, we're spread enough as it is, seems there's already a secret scene of kids who think toebex = uk fingerboarding, so, yea, god forbid I ever even facilitate a fall out here. You guys are my best friends

I think you four should do it, would be awesome and if it's being shot in London then you can come to my house and chill haha
But tbh I can't really see the judges liking it and putting you through or anything because they just won't understand, bu it would be so fun so go for it!
UK harrics is too much of an epic idea, do it kerry xD

Do it!
the more people they have repping the uk scene the more they will realise fb is a big contender
I say all 4 of you should go for it!

(and a Park in Bristol would be dreams haha)

Sounds good go for it !

The only thing with joining is that we'll have to apply again and go through all the paperwork and rewrite, due to the big men regarding it as a forgery. I would have asked Euan to do it, but the amount of pissing around for under 18's is immense.. I've been on Secret Millionaire, a couple years ago, and my 'rents had to do SO much paperwork just to see my mug for a few seconds, haha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5MfigcOHbU 19:41 if anyone's interested, haha

^haha how old were you then thom? 15-16?

Yea, I don't want to impose. It'd be fun to do it together but I guess you've had it all worked out together for a while now, so, you guys have fun. I'm not sure I see the point in me doing it as well, but, yea, maybe. I'll see how I feel about it over the next few days, and more importantly whether you three would be annoyed by me doing it (and be honest, because you're really sounded nothing but negative towards the idea from what I've got of your posts before and I really don't want to cause an argument or loose friends over some dumb tv show, friendship is far more important).

I mean, it'd be fun to do it, but if there is you guys, and then me, well, I'm not sure I see the point so much, and I don't want to annoy anyone.

I'm probably repeating myself so I'll shh

I was 15 when it was filmed, haha

I think persoanlly its a little late to be adding another to the team, i mean i dont want (and i think i can speak for Thom and Will) to look '' un-professesonal'' by adding another so late on and messing the BBC around.... But i dont see the harm in maybe you applying on your own kerry, in the end they might just want a single person, so i wouldn't mind stepping back and letting you do it if that was the case.

this thread makes me laugh.

im sorry, but your all FULL of bollocks....for the most part.... sorry.

things like this really cement what people are like as a whole.

thats coming from an 'outsider' looking in.

Rory said that the BBC went to his event.

Of course that gave the UK the idea that Rory is king of the UK scene.

In fact, when they interviewed him, that's pretty much exactly what they said.

"Yeah, I organize the events to keep the UK scene going" stretched out over a minute.
