Stool Pigeon FREE party was last night at 93 Feet East, Brick Lane.
A quick outline of the night...
8.45: Creepy Morons
8.55: Sami and Tony finishes a bottle of Tesco Napoleon Brandy and goes har don the free beer supplied by Stool Pigeon. Chimp is very drunk already and is lurking 'round the ladies toilets. Someone has just seen Kenny and the rumours are going the rounds...
9.45: 3hostwomexicansandatinofspanners
10:07: Chimp has just been seen breakdancing on a barrier on Bricklane. Someone called the cops. Sami found a wallet containing £100 and starts buying drinks. Tony had a piss by the stage as the band were playing, the que was too long...
10.45: Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
11:34: Lucas discovers his wallet has gone missing, calls the cops and falls asleep next to some crazy graffitti kids who are totally obsessed with drawing huge penises on each other. Tony drinks his 30th beer for the evening and does not show any signs of being drunk. Sami has lost it and is playing Finnish folk music. People are buzzing to the beat... 04:55: 93FE closes and people leave Bricklane, smashing up the system, Judas Priest's Breaking the Law really had a great impact on the crowds. An ambulance picks up the surviving 243 Support people. Tony goes drinking some more beer... All in all, nothing usual. The same -sam-sam-but-different?- shit as every night. But it was free. A arch-typical 243SUP evening.

A poem about the future of skateboarding By Tony "Rimbaud" Gunnarsson Seriously now Skateboarding is all About spending hours In a car, driving To a skateboard Spot (one that is cool, vintage and hard to find) Not finding it, sitting There in the seat, smoking Cigarettes and listening To some Really hard to find Northern Soul music Talking about the spot Not finding it, sitting Getting fat and stupid After a long day Of Hard backseat Skateboarding You step out And roll around in Hackney Bumps The finest skatepark in London For all of 10 minutes, Never to come back Because Hackney Bumps is the Finest skatepark in London And you don't even know it Because you just wanna Be the cool dude who has Done that - Done this You have done Barcelona and Now you have done Hackney Bumps All 10 minutes of it, not Counting the 5 hours searching for it But seriously now That is what skateboarding is all about Not doing it.

Yeah! Summer is here! Me and the 'Roaches rolled over to Hackney Bumps on
Saturday. Need to take a broom next time, but it's all good. Seems like the latest fashion accessories for the local rude boys are gloves
(it's summer you dick-wad, and if you commit a crime it's not your
fingerprints the cops will be collecting, it's your DNA from all the spit
you leave on the pavement - fingerprints are SOOO two weeks ago! and I live
with a crime scene investigator, so I know all about this crap!) and pit
bull terriers!! Fuckin' stoooo-pid! Those dogs, when in the hands of idiots,
are weapons, and if you're too much of a coward to walk the streets without
a weapon, then stay home and play with that tiny cock of yours! People that
have dogs and don't train them right/bring them up to be viscous are
basically no better than people that fuck their own children. We're laughing
at you - when we're not puking up at the thought of how disgusting you are. Thank fuck for skateboarding!!! oh, and if a dog does attack you, smack it as hard as possible on the nose.
dogs are a bit like sharks, and most of their sensory equipment is in their
nose, so a smack there is like punching them deep inside their brain. then
run like fuck, coz it'll only stun the dog for a few seconds. we don't condone violence against animals, but if you have to make the
choice between punching a dog and losing an arm, I'm sorry, but the dog gets
the fist every time. If you know anyone with a new puppy, do what you can to
help them train it right. Not training dogs well is cruel. My sister has six
dogs (one a champion show dog) so I speak from experience. and on a more positive note, did I say SUMMER IS HERE!?!?! GO OUTSIDE!!!

Dear friends of Hackney Bumps, In anti-anticipation of the surely monolithic-Olympic-cockup to be in 2012, the East London Skateboard Association and 243 Support along with Team Kaputt will annually host an independent People's Olympics every year at Hackney Bumps, in countdown to the mess to come. Too long has skateboarding been determined by money-generating corporate schemes, hype, lies, fashion etc. It has gone from a spontaneous act of children playing to become a multi-dollar industry. No longer an irrelevant individual fun, shared with friends on a sunny day, skateboarding today is the new American Football, Basketball and Baseball; it is just like Cricket, Rugby and Soccer. Where is the fun we ask? It is goddamn time to put the play back into skateboarding. Thus, in greatest possible contrast to the weak but menacing spirit of Olympiads of the past and future, the Hackney Olympics will be 100% free, 100% lawless, 100% fun. There will be no plans for the events, no prior arrangement, no industry sponsorships, no media coverage of the latest craze, nor will there be any judges or any judgement: this won't be no damn contest. The first provisional date set for Hackney Olympics 2006 is Saturday 10th of June, from early morning and till dawn. Bring hot dogs, music, skateboards, spray-paint or house paint, something to drink and bring a friend! Remember comrades: Hackney Olympics is the path to a new way of life! It is nothing short of a new dawn, a new beginning, a new Renaissance in fact, of skateboarding and fun. Join the rebellion and scream with us: "The king is dead! Long live the people! Viva Hackney Bumps! Long live Metaxa!"

Holy fucking shit!! The Sleibnir/243 decks are here!! and they look DOPE!! All-over white paint, black graphic, nice deep (but not too deep) concave,
lovely pop (they feature the Slebnir "Dirty Pop" technology) - these decks
are AWESOME!! There are two sizes: 7.7/5 and 8 inch width (the 8" has a slightly fatter
nose so there's more room to put your feet while hacking round concrete
parks, riding vert, or cruising home from the pub) Each graphic is a section from one giant doodle session featuring Dave the
Chimp, Kabe243, Ichi Bunny, and Product Two. Each deck comes with a free A1
(84cms x 59cms) poster of the original doodle (which shows the graphic for
both decks, plus all the stuff around the edges) and a set of wax crayons
for colouring in the graphic and making your deck more slidey (or waxing
curbs, putting up tags, whatever you feel like) These are available in Germany through www.sleibnir.com, or in the UK
through us. Prices are £35 per deck, and only £25 if you're a Battalion
Member. Postage and packing (Recorded Delivery) is £10, but we're happy for
you to drop by the 243 boutique - contact us to make an appointment.
chimp@fold7.com - 07946 408 365 There are only 50 of each deck, and they're selling fast!! Don't miss out!! check the Chimps fotolog to view the graphic -

word up! for anyone who is interested in coming to Bulgaria at the end of May and
running riot/getting drunk/meeting friends and strangers and cheap hookers
and generally taking life by the balls and enjoying it, here's the rough
details of what's going on there, and a link to a hostel in Sofia. If I get
any more details of hostels or cheap hotels I'll post them at
http://www.243support.co.uk . If you find any cheap hotels or flights, let
me know and I'll post those details too. please note, I am not responsible for anything - the idea is simply that
Bulgaria is cheap, the weather will be good, and people from all over the
world can meet up, hang out, make new friends, paint together, party
together, and generally have fun. Don't expect me to organise events, supply
maps, or hold your hand in any way. See this as an adventure... see y'all there CHIMP The Meeting of Stylez starts on the 27.05.06 in Varna at the black
sea coast, then there will be an exhibition in Sofia opening on 31/05/06,
with Nomad, The London Police, MissRiel, Sat One, Dave the Chimp, and others
(they will be in Sofia from 29/05 and there will be another party on 02/06). art hostel in the centre of the city of Sofia
(http://art-hostel.com/home.html), its nice and cheap.

Dear 243 fiends and 243 friends, Team Kaputt update: New movie in the works for 2006. Working title is "Hookers Focus" and it promises to be a great hit. Our target is to make it the Hokus Pokus for the www-generation. Meanwhile our previous prodigy VHS, called " Dirty Dogs vs. Eye of the Tiger" will soon be available for download via www.piratebay.org and possibly from other places too. for free i should say. Please also remember to check www.circleskateboarding.com regularly for news, gossips and free online magazine. New issue in the works and also a secret undercover book (containing unreleased material, new articles and photos etc) to come later in the year. Circle Networks is also responsible for Metaxa Fanzine which will be available within the extremely near future. Other totally deadpan news involve Cockroach Fanzine and its subsidary website and a bottle of Napoleon Brandy from Tesco. No more on this at present. Please stay tuned. Mr TG

er... news? Here's the shit kids - 243SUPPORT is back on-line on the old 666/WWW!! Evil
web pirates have hijacked our .com and tried to ransom it back to us, but
fuck 'em, we're a uk organisation so .co.uk is fine by us. Plus it's WAY
cheaper so we're not getting into more debt than is necessary. SLEIBNIR/243 "doodle Dang" decks
As of the end of this week, we will have new decks in stock, a collaboration
with our German freunds over at Sleibnir (http://www.sleibnir.com) and with
graphics supplied by the doodling hands of Dave the Chimp, Kabe243, Ichi
Bunny, and Product Two. There will be two sizes - a 7 3/4 and an 8 inch
beast with a slightly more rounded nose - both with a deep concave - and
they'll be a mere £35 (only £25 to Battalion members) BUT WAIT!!! It gets
better!!! all decks will come with an A1 black and white poster of the
original doodle graphic, plus a set of wax crayons to colour the deck and
add extra slippy-ness. Mein Gott!! Anyone who is a fan of the Dang zine will
have to get their hands on these bad boys quick - we'll only have 50 of each
size!! Hackney Olympics is planned for early/mid June. booze, bruise, and bar-b-q's
at East Londons premiere skate park - Hackney Bumps. no council permission,
no prizes, no retreat, no surrender - stay tuned for more details. 243SUPPORT's private ramp facility is under-construction, with Kenny
chopping down trees with his bare hands as you read this. Sorry - locals
only!! HA HA!! but maybe Battalion Members get an invite to KennyFest 2006
this summer... Ichi is hard at work putting together the Visual Rock Stars movie, and Herr
P is finishing off his surf movie... debut at KennyFest maybe? And Team
Kaputt will be starting their second epic just as soon as SS and TG crawl
out from their Judas Priest created hang-over... Crazy Neil broke his wanking arm snowboarding, but not to worry - he can now
do six one-handed push-ups in a row, so expect to see him grabbing airs from
Milton Keynes to Cornwall, via Stockwell, this summer and finally, we'd like to welcome Daniel Hernandez to the 243 family. Be
sure to check out his band The Kulaks playing live before they end up in
Police custody (again) http://www.myspace.com/thekulaks and watch out for
him switch carving Kennington Bowl and crushing pool tiles at Harrow. The
future is safe in the hands of the youth... full service will be resumed as soon as possible, so check back soon... 243

hot in the city, rather sick spots keeps popping up in the "new east london". with
olympics on the calendar the no-man's land of a valley will be a total
barcelona of northern europe. but i better shut up before the overkill
sets in the place -- oh it will. meanwhile in the old-new-east london
the boys keep them flags waveing at the red square. the new found
spots in the middle-east-london are good too. and the good old far
east is better than ever. way out east, that is. and as more kids head
out nomanslandeast there is actually plenty of space and spots left in
the good old city. so not so bad for the east kind of shit. east is east. ss.
