We move from Brightlingsea to Tingley today, as we follow up last weeks Carl Wilson penned installment with a ‘Favourites’ from the owner of the largest comedy cranium in UK skateboarding, and full time professional lurker, Josh ‘Manhead’ Young.
When you’re finished reading, scope Manhead taking second place at last weekends NASS festival street finals at the bottom of the page, too.
