Title: UK skater-owned store video 'Welcome 2: Hell' - sick skating & crusty Brit spots
Post by: smellofdeath2 on May 29, 2022, 01:29:25 AM
This one premiered on Friday and is from Leeds-based skater-owned-store Welcome.

Some really good skating in here, loads of Northern English cities and spots that you might not have seen from one of the UK's strongest skate scenes.
Good music/filming too

One of the best U.K. vids in years if not ever, highly recommend everyone watch. Dale’s part is fucked but everyone killed it. Josh really knows how to put a video together, great music selection. I love Blinky, he’s my fave. Leeds has a fucking rad skate scene.

This was pretty fucking spectacular. It had just about everything in it.

Can I just say as well, the music choices were spot on. The juxtaposition of the crusty punk dude with the Discharge top on skating to dance music was cool.

The UK scene goes hard, and there's much more to it than that there London. Up the North!

Also, Dale Starkie is the most classic, kitchen-sink type of name. Beautiful stuff

Dale fully elevating himself with that part. Loved it.

Loved this video, reminded me of scene vids of my youth. This would definitely have been rinsed on repeat in the VHS days

Bloody loved this I did, definitely see me returning to this one again. Track selection and editing was on point.

Nice to have a vid that felt like to me, captured the scene it's focused around pretty well.

I really liked Jasper's trick in it, too.

That was great, often feel like UK skating doesn't really get the exposure it deserves... videos like this really lift the lid.

I can only echo these sentiments. Bumping this thread for those who missed it, just a brilliant video all round.

Note: I also liked the different pacing to alot of videos - it doesn’t have a heavy intro, and starts out pretty mellow, and then builds on that. By the time Zeta come on, I was hooked. Definitely give it a chance and you’ll be stoked.

This really needs to be seen by a bigger audience. It would be cool to see some other SOS's putting full lengths out, like Lost Art and co., there are some proper heads on Lost Art.

Dom Henry, Joe Gavin, Ben Grove, Joe O’Donnell!
Super rad video!

This welcome video was amazing too! Blinky had my favourite but but will and dale shut it down too!
