At a ridiculously young age, Josh Parr installed himself at the now defunct Bolton Bones Skatepark, hammering the Lancashire transitions on an almost daily basis with a level of ease way beyond his years, a far too solid style and a wit quick enough to put down the most confident of piss-takers.

Under the watchful eye of the Bolton locals – namely Tez Robinson and Andy Scott – around the mid 00’s Josh found himself on the receiving end of regular packages from the likes of Pig City, Oakley and Duffs, later Black Label boards through Shiner, and could be seen accompanying Tez, Andy and Mark Munson on road trips to parks and comps all over the country.

By thirteen he’d already scored himself a double-page ‘Omens’ in Document, several photos in Sidewalk, could backtail shuvit on vert having not so much as dropped in on one for six months, and was walking out of most comps with pockets full of loot in exchange for a few minutes of traditional Bolton nonchalance.

When Superdead came into being in 2010, Josh was one of the original team riders, though following the filming of his ‘Ten Tricks for Kingpin’ during the early months of 2011, Josh dropped off radar almost completely. Other than a handful of rumoured sightings at Ramp City in Blackpool, hardly anyone has seen or heard from him since.

Josh, where you at?
