January is doing its best to leach the energy from your legs and talk you into staying indoors; what better way to help kickstart your need to skate than watching a shitload of footage from the feet and brain of Lancashire’s unconventional shredder Chris Atherton. Car parks, no complies, weird and creative edits/skating/boards, Avi is one of the closest people to summing up the essence of UK skateboarding and looking like he’s having a good time doing it.

Someone who consciously avoids the ‘professional’ skateboarding path would normally be a nightmare to find footage of, but luckily Avi is a regular producer of left field and interesting edits. Check out this collection of footage and I defy you not to immediately feel an urge to charge down to your local Morrisons’ parking area
