The statement below is stolen from the NOTE site.
Congrats to Rob Salmon on winning The Zine Comp.
Enjoy the proddy mate......

It was a difficult decision but in the end we all agreed Rob Salmon's Eastern zine takes the win. Eastern was the most weighty zine we got and it was packed with hot photos of "skateboarding from Hull and beyond". Get in touch Rob and we'll sort you out all those rare prizes from The Harmony. A big thank you to all of those who made the effort to put something together. We really enjoyed looking at every issue we got and hope to see more. If anyone wants to come and look at the entries just come in NOTE and ask.

THE HARMONY PROUDLY INTRODUCES THE 'JAK PIETRYGA' BOARD

2009-08-27T21:21:00.003+01:00

After killing it with The Harmony for years now, we have stepped up and given Mr Jak Pietryga his first Pro Board.
Jak has been with us from the early days and is a key part to the puzzle, so we thought this is the best way to show his worth.
The 'ClawPaw' Model comes in two sizes and is in all good skateshops now. Any dealers should contact Ifive Distribution for more details.
Now to celebrate Jak's first board we are showing all of his video parts to date right here on the internet, starting next week.

HERE is a old clip of Jakky Boy with his tre flip world record attempt, to keep you going.

"You might have noticed The Harmony team in town over the weekend helping us celebrate and all that. Adam Mondon was kind enough to give us some competition prizes from his own personal stash of Harmony memorabilia he's collected over the years. We've got a limited edition Joe Gavin Vs Dist deck, one of the first The Harmony T shirts, Wolfstadt DVD, Once Upon A Time - Special Edition DVD, the very rare Defrosting Valencia with The Harmony DVD, 2 copies of Blood and Rust zine and Issue 1 of The Harmony zine to give away to the winner of this competition. All you have to do is make a zine and give it (or post it) to us before 15th August. Just a few pages of photos, drawings, poems or whatever you want. Whoever makes the one we like best gets the proddy.

How do folks.

Yes, the winter is well and truly on us and everyday is miserable and cold. Never fear. The Harmony are set to release there newest full length promo 'River's Edge' which features full sections of Tony Da Silva and Joe Gavin as well as full montages of the rest of our ilk. Including newest deal, Tyrone O'Hanrahan.

Tyrone, is yet another Manchester powersleuth who is fully on a mission to make shit look good. Expect big things in the future from this not so little tiddler.

'River's Edge' is a quick powerful feast of a skateboarding DVD, just enough to fill you right up after you have gourged yourself on christmas and all its mediocrites. It will be available free with any purchase of Joe's two new pro models as well as in handy stocking sized sticker packs, which will be available in stores soon.

Watch out for more updates on all the new stuff which will be out now and after Christmas. Peace and good will to all men.

PS: The title of the film is stolen from the 1986 film of the same name. There are similarities, especially in regard to acting styles.

Well its with a heavy heart we say farewell to one of The Harmony's first born son's. That's correct, Danijel 'The Jugga' Todorovic is moving on from our shallow waters to try out pastures new. No new home just yet, but he feels as though he wants to commit to personal projects. We are all parting on really good terms and he had this to say on the matter:

"I want to say a big thank you for all these years with The Harmony, I've come across great friends and good times and they will always be a part of me no matter what! I guess this clip sums it up.

Hope I see you all in near future.

Keep on rocking the free world!

Danijel Todorovic"

A man of few words indeed, but for those who know Danijel or have had the pleasure of meeting him know, that skateboarding isn't about all the bullshit for him and he just feels a change is a good as a rest, which in our books is fair dues.

It's been an amazing journey and everyone here at The Harmony wishes you all the best for the future.

We love you man.

PS: The clip comes over like he died, we can assure he is not dead.

Here's a photo of Adam wood from ifive distribution holding a 40+lb carp (what is it about skateboarding and fishing, do they go hand in hand?? personally i love a spot of fishing) anyway, ifive are the proud distributors of the harmony, check them out at http://www.ifivedistribution.com/

Ifive organised a demo last weekend with skaters from some of the ifive teams, skaters in attendance were myself, Owen Hopkins, Ali Drummond, Sean Smith, Joe Knobes, Pete King and Dan Cates, the demo was held at Revolution skatepark in Broadstairs in Kent which celebrated it's 10th birthday last year and is well worth checking out.

Big thankyou's to revolution skatepark http://www.revolutionskatepark.co.uk/ and ifive for hooking it up, a good time was had by all involved.

On another tip, Document is out with this years Big Push entries, check it out and vote harmony.

Here's a team photo from the first day of the trip.

Sam Barratt sent me this snappy shot of Danijel and Tom having a hug under a bridge. Hopefully they are all having fun and skating there little polished Nike socks off.

Keep your eyes peeled for future evidence in Document, but mores to the point I believe the Big Push issue is out today, so they tell me.

Go buy it, for the mag and for the free DVD with 5 of the toppest UK squiddards doing what they do against the odds of England's continual and pointless precipitation.

Sibbarp and sausages.

Nicked this from Percy, as the Nike SB Uk fellas are in Malmo and Jugga is playing host to them all. Hope the weather is treating them better then its treating us right now.

Wish I was there.

Burma or Bust

2008-08-11T22:19:00.007+01:00

Recently I was in Paris doing kickfips with the Skateface crew. While at Le Dome I stumbled upon this photo opportunity of an anti Beijing Olympics poster.

As everyone will know on Friday 08/08/2008 it was the official opening day of the Olympic games. A side from that (and Russia deciding to start a war) it was also the 20 year anniversary of the day the Burmese stood up for themselves only to be massacred by its on government.

I have strong feelings about Burma, the situation there and the lack of media coverage it receives. So I thought I would use the power at my disposal to get the message out there, cheers Mondon. What has china got to do with Burma? China is the only country to have any real influence on the Junta in getting them to stop the atrocities on the Burmese people, and China does nothing. In fact it supports the Burmese Junta financially so they can carry on with there genocide.

To find out about Burma in at nutshell follow the link -

This is my first post after being given the keys to The Harmony inter web HQ, I hope its not the last..

Big Push Done

2008-07-24T10:44:00.003+01:00

After a week or so of various hickups such as chewed tapes and broken cameras, the Big Push edit is complete.
I have just posted it off and also emailed a copy to Percy and Dave.
To celebrate I have knocked up this slideshow of the trip.
Enjoy.

Shirts now summer is finally here....

2008-07-21T10:53:00.002+01:00

Still got loads of shirts, you should hassle your local store in order to look cool as fuck.

Bromance in the stone.

2008-07-14T10:17:00.002+01:00

We are back from the Big Push, and crushed out over 1200 miles. Loads of shit went down despite Britain being a fucking puddle for a week. Just a quick post to say thanks a lot to all the riders, lurkers and no gooders who helped made this trip one in a million.

Missing you guys already.

Till next time.

Covered.

2008-07-09T20:29:00.007+01:00

Yep. That is Joe Gavin. Sidewalk's cover star for the latest issue! Holla.

There's also a nice big Harmony trip article in there as well, Good work Whitehead.

'yer pushing it!'

2008-07-09T20:13:00.008+01:00

Well the whole team stayed at mine on monday night.

Never has Buxton seen so many people who can land a kickflip first go.

Luckily my toilet escaped unharmed in the morning (especially after the curry and booze the night before).

I took them to Macclesfield and they performed some stunts..

and then we headed to Manchester, where it rained alot. Got shit done though!

Then i left them at urbis and went home. The End

p.s keep checking The Big Push blog for the latest going's on

awol

2008-07-05T18:01:00.004+01:00

So seeing as both Dave and Mondon are in this photo, there's no chance this blog is getting updated.
If you didn't know, The Harmony are doing The Big push.

Keep checking the doco site for bloggins on their trip and i'm sure i'll have a few of my own photos when they all stay at mine on monday night. mint..

Jimmy x

Yep

2008-06-30T21:26:00.007+01:00

So Dave thought it'd be a good idea if, instead of nicking my photos off my site he'd get me to put them directly on here. ha!

So this I guess this is the first post for the mancunian chapter that is Tone and Joe.Don't expect much, as I like to update my own shit and of course mine and Joe's blog, Allenkeyzine.

Love Jimmy

P.S: Look out for the New Joe ad in the next Sidewalk. HOT!

Keys to the vaults.

2008-06-27T09:26:00.002+01:00

The route is planned, and our shit is primed, Big Push 08 is going down.

Just so you know, Jose Gavin has a new skateboard out, and its a tribute to Ian Curtis. So buy that shit and support one of the jewels in manchester's crown. I used this pic becuase I offered Jim the keys to the vault and he hasn't baited, so I will constantly nick his pics until he gets into posting.

Later on.

Ali Update

You know when you think posing for a photo is a good idea at the time? Anyway here's Danijel and Wieger having just helped me finish off painting a rad little quarter pipe for the launch of our Nike Collab shoe. It was a super good night. Real drunken shenanigans with a lot of bizarre peeps. The weekend followed pretty hard too, we avoided the bowlriders for as long as possible, skating new parks heralded by Pontus and crew, and also skated the wreckage of Steppenside, which is still better than most spots.

Sunday was the best day as we got to see the full original line up of Dinosaur Jr. for free. They came on, killed it for 45 mins and went without a word. Awesome. Best thing ever.

The Masters bowlriders was cool, Hosoi, Chris Miller and style maxer Pat Ngoho, but the prize went to Nicky Guererro who at 40 odd killed it more than most of the people in the Pro final. Enough said.

Thanks to everyone who hung out, chatted shit and generally made my trip really good. Special thanks to Danny, Maria, Jaka Seth, Peter and Freddy for being the best hosts.

See you next year Malmo.

Got tone?

Extreme Hyper Hype

2008-06-05T13:42:00.002+01:00

As we said in the previous thread, released at the same time as the Swedish Blazer will be Danijel's latest Pro Board. This will look top notch on the mantlepiece sitting alongside the sneaks.

Hassle your local shop for details.

Hyper hype.

2008-06-03T17:09:00.006+01:00

Some of you maybe aware of this, but most of you perhaps not.

Sam Barratt, Danijel Todorovic, Nike SB and myself have collaborated on a limited edition Nike SB blazer.

The launch party for this shoe, and Danijels pro-board that matches it will be at Bowlriders comp in Malmo, peep the flyer. There will be a special skate session on the specially constructed Nobel quarter of doom, plus admiring of ladies and drinking.

Pics of Danijel's new piece soon, but until then check the Nike site for an interview with the goliath of love.

Kiss it.

2008-05-24T16:16:00.004+01:00

Summer is now well and truly affecting our disorders, so to celebrate this we have launched a new website as well as brand spanking new Summer Promo for you all to download and watch till your eyes peel out.

Also pictured is moody mustafa, Joe Gavin and his Ian Curtis/Joy Division Tribute Board designed by Harmony brethren,Sam Barratt.

Everyone here at The Harmony loves Joy Division, and not just because they are "hella cool" in some circles, but because they are the fucking shit, end of.

The board is out sometime in June and is available from all good Harmony stockists.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
