Before many of you reading this were even born skaters were shredding plywood in a disused warehouse up in Stobswell, Dundee.
Andy posted this link in a comment on the previous post which just had to be shown here. Skaters appearing, amongst others are Smod, Craig McKnight, Simon (from Stirling), Aljo, Sean Goff (SS20 skateshop owner), Pete McNeil, Ploppy, Scott Malcolm (I think that was you Scott!) and many more.

Update: Photos from Stobswell Factory, Perth Road Factory and Broughty Ferry.
I came across a bunch old photos the other day so I’ve posted them to my Flickr account, there’s too many to post on this site so you’ll just have to check them out there. A blast from the past!

P.S. Can we please have no more arguing in the comments, people are trying to talk which is cool, just absorb the vibe from the video above when everyone just got along and skated!
