A DAY IN HERTFORD - DAN CATES / MARK NICOLSON - RAW 1998 Death Skateboards


Lovely little day out skateboarding with Dan back in 1998, at the beginning of Death Skateboards.
Dan was clearly riding one, from what was very likely the first EVER batch!

Skating round County Hall and then a little visit to the viaduct bank on the border of Hertford and Ware (Cates' home town), and a few other spots in between.

With hindsight it turned out to be a bit more like Muska's epic day from that old transworld video. "..he's got one more spot!..."
Jokes aside, hope you enjoy this very early slice of early Death Skateboards history.

Left raw-ish for posterity!

Filmed in 1999, and edited by me today 26th July 2017
