Marc Beggan – Kickflip, West Belfast.

I spotted this kicker on my routine bus journey via the motorway into Belfast which I’ve taken every other day for about eight years now. We’d always wanted to go check it out but with the intimidating high barbed wire fences and a security hut situated right at the entrance the majority of us were unsure about the impending hassle that lay ahead, so it was quickly forgotten. About a year or so ago though they began knocking down the building that surrounded it, leaving literally just this kicker and some rubble, and slowly each bus journey I watched the security start to fizzle out. It later turned out to be probably one of the easiest break-ins ever, the first fence being climbable with the assistance of a neighbouring garden wall and the next simply miraculously sliding open. With the sun setting quick and no-one being warmed up it was a bit of a panic getting everything in order before the golden moment vanished behind the mountains. Thankfully Beggan’s work legs soon left him and landed it sooner rather than later, making it look like a piece of piss in the process – definitely my favourite shot I’ve taken so far I’d have to say.

Paddy Lynn – No Comply, Laganside, Belfast.

Fat Pat, I mean?! Sorry, Thin PLynn… he’s been on a strict diet of Brazilian jujitsu, tuna, smoking weed, skating, tuna, cycling and tuna. It’s made the world of difference for him considering he has had three knee surgeries over the years and injuries these days won’t even last him nearly half as long as they used to. Mixing in the crane technique with the no comply and of course plenty of dolphin meat he executed this no comply across this grating and fly kicked the nearest spide in the throat straight after.

Marc Beggan – 360 Flip, Titanic Quarter, Belfast.

I’ve watched this guy huck this trick across some seriously lengthy opponents over the years. Spending more time outside than inside when we ever showed our ugly faces at the Titanic Museum, I found myself one day dandering around its stunning insides for a photography job I did a while back and this angle quickly caught my eye as I was leaving via the third floor. We had already shot this trick in the past here, but it was dark and I ballsed the photo up. Thankfully enough time had passed to avoid that awkward asking moment all skate photographers must go through. I informed our Marc of the new discovery and like always he was keen to give it a shot. We patiently waited until we got a good sunny day, which is a rare occasion it seems in Ireland even when its summer. Eventually it rolled around and we waited for our break in the clouds, getting it just before fists were swung by the always well-tempered security.
