Harry Lintell Welcome To The Black Sheep Family
So yeah we're obviously stoked to have Harry come join us at The Black Sheep but this has been a good time in the making. Rewind back a good 6 years (or slightly more, hazy memory killing me) and Lintell was riding for a certain board company we where at the time distributing, we had fun times with plenty UK road trips and even took Harry North of the border and he popped his Scottish visitor cherry. Even way back then Harry was skating with the majority of the OG Black Sheep Family like Eddie, Rob, Scotty etc and with out a current shop sponsor he kind of just fell into the team even back then but we never made anything official. So the years went by and we've always supported Harry as much as possible cause we/I firmly believe he should be able to support himself by means of skateboarding and skateboarding alone, god knows he's pretty shitty at life stuff in general,haha but with serious natural talent the boy from Ashford has now firmly and officially come home and joined The Black Sheep Family.
Big Ups the toothless wonder that is Hairy Lentells.

Why you living in London now? Have you turned into a jazzy bummer because of it?
I just wanted to get out of my home town Ashford and I kept going on skate trips and then would always end up back in London so it just made sense! CLAPTON CASTLE represent! and hell no! Iâm sick of seeing those jazzy bummers.
Next trip planned to get out of London?
Skate jam in Hull with bro mattock. then San Francisco mission.
How stoked are you to join the Black Sheep?
Over the moon to be joining Black Sheep fam! don know haha.
Looking forward to a Scottish road trip again with Eddie, Rob, Scotty etc..? (oh yeah that's your notice that we're going on a Scottish road trip.)
Yeah?! Lets do this!!
Why are you so shit with phones?
I am just rubbish with them and skate with all the time in my pocket haha. even when I do put it in my bag I still end up breaking the screen. haha even the indestructible Nokia 3210, smashed that skating! haha.
Just spoke to your Mum and you should call her now and again. She just wants to know your okay in that there London, haha. Thoughts?
Need to drop her a call and catch up with her really. What up Mom haha.
This Welcome clip took a while yeah? You shouldn't worry about filming for that small clothing company Volcom when you could be filming more for the mighty Black Sheep! Thoughts?
Been a while coming I guess yeah haha but worth doing it right.
Cheers Harry and obviously stoked your the newest member of the #blacksheepfamily. Any words of wisdom you want to put out to the skate rat masses?
Go out and charge them streets. heavy still! haha have fun always!
Safe Harry. Big love from the fam. Tez.
Some words from the rest of the Black Sheep Family-
Eddie Belvedere- 'It only makes sense that the best street skater in England rides for the best skate shop in England! Welcome to the Family!'
Rob Smith- 'I met Harry when he was about 16, I'd never heard of him before but as soon as I seen him skate I knew it wouldn't be long until everyone knew who he was. We went on our first trip together around that same time, I witnessed some of the most ridiculous skateboarding I'd ever seen... he grinded his first kinked hand rail on that trip, 10 stairs then about 5 feet of flat, to a T juction rail with a drop of about 8 foot off the end. What a joker!'
Harry - 'Damn that tash!!! Stoked he is a part of the Black Sheep Family.'
Rikk Fields- 'Raw dogger! Absolute cannon and a good guy. It makes as much sense as a pie on a barm.'
