What with Nike taking a year out of their Big Push run and Smithy’s commitments to the annual CPH Pro event, 2012 was all set to become the first year that Neil Smith missed out on going on The Big Push. So what did we do to remedy the situation? We obviously bundled this month’s cover boy into a run down VW Golf and carted him around the country on his own slightly belated Big Push style week long mission.

Despite the awful weather and bizarre mid week injuries, Smithy and special guest Benson headed out East and then West from London, hitting cities, spots and parks along the way, finishing up in Newcastle at the end of an amusing seven day trek.
