Back to school.

That's right folks... As of tomorrow, I'm back in school to finish my final year in big-boy land. Emotions are high right now, as I'm a very large mix of worried, stressed, excited, and curious. I just worry for the many struggles and exams I'm going to come face to face with in this year, but I know that no matter how well I do, I'll always have fingerboarding, I'll always have my friends, and I'll always have games, music... Everything that makes me happy.

We never know what the future holds. In many ways, this is like Cyclone itself. Despite disappearing for sometimes months at a time, I do always end up back here. I'm a bit unpredictable, aren't I? Aha. But yeah, there's a lot of exciting stuff coming to Cyclone in the future... I just hope I can always find the time to post here in between stress and curiosity. As the big man Richard Branson put it - "There is lots more to be learned from failure than success, and if you have the desire to succeed, not having a piece of paper with A, B or C written on it isn’t going to hold you back" - This really did ease my worries for the future. Well put, Mr. Billionaire.

Anyway, I'm sorry for my rant. This is a fingerboarding blog, after all! Not a place to share my worries with you all. Look forward to many exciting things coming to Cyclone in the future - including: [DATA REDACTED].
Oh, sorry about that... for some reason everytime I try and talk about [DATA REDACTED], it just says [DATA REDACTED]... Oh well, that's strange.

Well, I guess I might as well wrap things up with the CS4 event date. It will be held on [DATA REDACTED]! See you all there!

Crossed Fingers 2

by Euan Lynn

So, this is where I was this weekend! For those of you unaware, Crossed Fingers 2 (the second official UK championship, run by UniteFB mastermind Kerry Williams), was held on the 31st! And it was an amazing weekend. A roadtrip down to Bristol with a few of my favourite friends in the world, staying in the flat of the UK beast himself (Kezza), and then hanging out with some awesome people at an awesome event. Beautiful.

It really was an amazing time, and Euan's video really captures the true vibes that were felt throughout the whole weekend... Well, especially by the little northern crew! It was such fun. So check out this hilarious, yet amazing edit by the geordie man himself, Euan! - Featuring Euan, me, Xi, Dan, Alex, and many others. So good!

Blue Benches

by Danny Hynam / Jess Manyoky

It's always exciting to see a new video pop up from Danny Hynam, after all it is a rare event! But 2 new videos within a month? Insane. And this video is insaner than that - a montage featuring 2 amazing riders! Watch this right now, it's absolutely incredibly. Fitting in the classic Hynam humour, on top of amazing tricks between both riders, both on the classic blue tech deck benches! I've always wanted one of these benches... Both of their enders are insane also, check this out right now!

I Must Be Dreaming...

by the Lowpro Family

Mars Hill Welcomes...

by Cyclone Media Teamrider - Danny Hynam
Ladies and gentlemen, gather around. A prophecy was foretold long ago, before our great great ancestors even roamed the earth, that one day there would be a beard to rule them all... Many deemed it the beard of one 'Kerry Williams', owner of the hit fingerboarding blog UniteFingerboarding and CEO of the Fingersized company... However, it has recently been argued that this is a false god of a beard, as one Danny Hynam has stepped forth! One beard to rule them all... It was also foretold that this one god would upload an insanely sick fingerboard video... And here it is, the prophecy has come true! An absolutely amazing edit by the Hynamanan, and a clean as a whistle one too! Seriously check this out, it's very rare we see a new vid from Dan, and this truly is one that was worth waiting for. And don't forget to subscribe to the lad!

Blosom Stock

For those of you that aren't aware, Blosom is working up a new stock. It's always exciting to see a new stock coming from Blosom, because you know that the second they become available, they'll go as fast, if not faster, than Yellowoods used to!

Ross is a hard working man, I tell you. Moderating a forum, running a blog, and making decks for 3 companies... It's gotta be damn hard work! But, I hope that it all pays off in the long run. Be sure to pick up a Blosom deck or 2 when the new stock becomes available, I've been riding my graphic Blosom for god knows how long now and I'm still in love with it!

Also, do keep an eye out on Ross's blog posts. They'll give you little hints here and there as to when the next stocks are on the way, and any other projects he's working on...

It Was Cold

by Rodhi7

As the title states, it certainly is cold, at least here in England, and apparently in Brazil - which is where this beast who I've never seen before is located! The only bad part about this mini is it's too short! Extremely clean style, some amazing tricks, and an ender that will make your pants wet. Enjoy, and subscribe to Rodhi7!
