Imagine a mountain road; steep, long and full of tight corners. Imagine hurtling down that road on your back at speeds of up to 70mph inches from the ground, with no brakes. This is the sport of Streetluge. More...

Gravity Sports are very dangerous, please read the Disclaimer.

Road Buzz! is a feature length documentary on downhill skate and Streetluge. Produced by Saft and Boneless and funded by the Arts Council.

Road Buzz! looks at downhill skateboarding through an artist's eyes. Film cohort Saft and Boneless follow UK riders on a tour of European mountains, interviewing some of the characters along the way to examine issues of trust, fear, obsession and motivation and to try to draw universal conclusions about the activity.

I'm not sure why, I mean I already have a proper website (you're looking at it), but call me a sheep, I've created a MySpace profile. You can check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/joelgravityking

For the last 4 weeks in a row I have been meeting up with friends on a new local hill to ride skateboard. As well as doing a bit of downhill (which still scares the pants off me) Boneless has been teaching me how to slide, cheers mate. Sliding is the process of getting the skateboard to slide out and spin. Using work gloves with pieces of chopping board melted to them allows you to place your hands on the ground, sliding on them as well. Anyway, what it all means is FUN! In spade loads. You can check out a short clip of me sliding here.

P.S. Ouch! I ache all over. It uses muscles I didn't realise I had, like all of them...

The big news for 2007 is that I am getting married. Anna and I have been together since October '99 when we met at Bournemouth University. Having had a go racing Gravity Bikes, Anna is now happy supporting and cheering me on at races, and that's a good thing, for our honeymoon we are going to be going to the IGSA World Championships in Jungholz, Austria and the Swiss World Cup near Thun.
