Interview with Mark & Christian Hosoi at their collaborative show now up on the totally awesome Epicly Later'd VBS TV show...well worth a click...

[Chinny]

Don't know about his Kennington no-complies,but was anyone there in the early-mid '90s at Southbank when he "hippy-jumped"(hate that name!) over the railings into the big bowl? I remember seeing it in RAD though I can't recall exactly when that was,but it blows my mind as much now to think about it as it did when I first opened that page all those years ago!
They quoted someone as saying "ok,Gonzdoesn't need to skate for another six years!"
