Having occupied a well earned spot on the Blueprint flow team for several years, as well as being a firm part of the UK Emerica roster whilst Pete Turvey was at the helm, Hartlepool’s Adam Stoddart was about as hardworking and down to earth as it got. Whilst holding down a variety of jobs, Adam still managed to film parts for various North Eastern scene videos, including the late Cleveland Bod’s ‘Secrets and Lies’ (2005 – see below), and the late Steven ‘Bingo’ Binks’ Mischief Skateshop DVD ‘Northbound’ (2005) in which he laid claim to the last part. Mag coverage wise he had his fair share of photos in Document whilst claiming the cover of Sidewalk issue 124 (Jan 2007) and scoring a ‘Haunts’ interview later that year.

As the late 00’s drew to a close, Adam placed himself on the sponsorship backbench in order to concentrate on work and family life. He still lives in Hartlepool, still skates, still films and makes regular appearances in SLDN edits and related instagram clips.

The North East has always been proactive when it comes to documenting their scene, so hopefully that might mean another new Adam Stoddart section will see the light of day soon…fingers crossed.
