2026 and what?! Hope everyone is surviving the current grimness and had a prosperous festive season. First up for 2026's inaugural blog post is a collaboration between our very own Black Sheep Family member, Real skateboards pro and all round good egg Harry Lintell and UK mag The Skateboarder's Companion. Their new Five to One feature showcases skaters in their home environment showing you, the viewers, around their 'ends' so to speak. In this case, given that it's winter and we're in Manchester, necessarily after a quick stop off at Black Sheep HQ and Greggs, Harry takes you all for a whistlestop tour of his personal Manchester highlights so we're talking indoor carparks, the Campus ledge, Florence Black tattoo studios and finishing off at the Garden Skateboards premiere at NOTE. Nice bit of content here - enjoy.

Next up sees a new release from another firm UK favourite of ours, Chocolate skateboards and adidas Skateboarding representative Dan Fisher-Eustace. Made by VX enthusiast and Kate Nash official photographer Jude Harrison, DFE's section from Jude's new full length is hosted by Vague Skate Mag where you can catch the full video from which this excellent part is taken. If you're already a fan of Dan's then you'll know to expect Henry Sanchez inspired ledge tech, voluminous trouser choices and authoritative tech on gritty spots. If you like skateboarding then you'll like this - it's dope.
