Radlands 1996

I'll never not regret going to Radlands summer comp in 1995. I went the following year and it was amazing, Ed Templeton, Donny Barley, Andrew Reynolds, Matt Hensley, etc but it wasn't 1995! Still, 1996 had it's moments, Penny was now the darling of the American contingent rather than the bane. Matt Hensley was amazing and Andrew Reynolds could skate for literally minutes linking trick after trick without falling. I only had my half-broken 10 quid camera with me that weekend and I shot a film consisting mainly of the back of peoples heads but it gives you a feeling of that summer weekend. The following year the big summer comp. was in London and after that the Radlands summer comp was never the same again so i guess that 1996 was the last of the best.
