I think Carl Shipman still lives in Worksop, not entirely sure if he still skates....he is married with kids though. Actually, I watched "A Visual Sound" the other night, still convinced that he is one of the greats....Remember when he beat up Mic-E-Reyes?? haha.

But what about Carl Shipman ?
Factory somewhere ?
Man Shipman pretty much invented the frontside flip, then Penny made it famous, fuck Shipman could do frontside flips higher then a lot of pro's could ollie at the time hahaha, fuck man i've got some classic story's about him from back in the day.
Classic one, he's walking home with shit loads of shopping from where ever, someone grabs his gold chain from round his neck and runs for it, he puts his shopping down, gets a bottle of Heinz tomato sauce (it was closest) runs after said thief, SMACK, ketchup fucking everwhere and blood, beats the shit out of the thief, takes his chain back, and the one the thief had, i think he even tried to get money for more ketchup hahaha.
Back to the shops for more tomato sauce, fucking great
