Howard Cooke.
The Clash.
Howard is from Liverpool, England. He rode for Consolidated, Spitfire, and Heroin Skateboards. There's a cool photo of him by Wig Worland doing a frontside slash grind on the extension of a giant quarterpipe at the Edge Lane skatepark in Liverpool from 1996. The picture was used for the cover of Sidewalk, a British skateboard magazine. It also appeared in the Dysfunctional book curated by Aaron Rose. Howard plays bass and was in the hardcore bands Walk The Plank and Cold Ones.
The weather has been warm and dry for the week. I've been skateboarding in the driveway and haven't had the time to hit up the park or anything different. Everything has been a chore lately and it is not much fun. I'm not digging it. Have a good weekend out there.
Nik Freitas took the photographs.
