Harry Lintell is pro for Real skateboards
Well, it's been a long time coming but finally Harry Lintell is pro for Real skateboards. UK-based British skateboarders turning pro for American board companies is still very rare, (was Kyron Davies the last one?) but with Harry it was only a matter of time. Funnily enough, Harry filmed the ender for his 2011 Sidewalk magazine 'In Progress' part exactly ten years ago, (September 1st 2011) so it's pretty wild that 10 years and 1 day later, his name will finally adorn a pro model. As a long-time Black Sheep family member who has been tied into everything we do for a decade at least, it definitely feels great to legitimately be able to say out loud that Harry Lintell is pro for Real skateboards. Whatever your views are on the current situation of wider skateboarding culture in 2021, it's going to take a pure bellend to question Harry's right to this one. I mean yeah, it's Real Skateboards, one of the first post Bones Brigade/post Steve Rocco skater-owned brands with a heritage stretching back to 1991 and founded by Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud but, on the other hand, this is Harry fucking Lintell we're talking about. Before I get too carried away force feeding you nuggets of video history let's all just take a minute, breathe in and reflect on how fucking cool this is. A kid from Ashford in Kent, 'discovered' via a DVS get yourself sponsored contest in Sidewalk magazine, who went on to ride for a number of board brands through his friendship with all of here at Black Sheep (Jart, then Superdead) has gone on to move to Manchester, make waves globally and end up with a pro board on probably the most venerable skater-owned skate company on the planet. And we had to pretend we didn't know about it in order to pull off his in-store board release party that happened tonight (Sept 2nd 2021). What a fucking trip. You can buy yourself one of Harry's boards (which will sell out very quickly make no mistake) by clicking below. You know what to do.
