Morph in.
morphmoments1qt

You've all seen the Morph Moments over on the Mpora site, and i'm sure they'll still appear, but as kinda announced yesterday Morph will be taking over main filming duties at Blueprint. And as also mentioned I, Neil Chester, will be leaving the building.
I would like to thank all at Blueprint and everyone within the industry scattered around the world that I had the pleasure of working with. I hope to see you all out skating soon. Cheers!

As you may have seen over on the Blueprint Blog, Shier and Baines placed 21st and 20th respectively at the DVS CPH Pro contest in Copenhagen. Baines now has the upper hand over Paul.
Paul jetted straight off to New York for more filming with Kevin Coakley, whilst Baines went home for a well deserved rest after the Germany Tour and then the contest.

Just time to announce the Mike Wright competition winner, the lucky guy to win a whole host of KR3W, Nike Sb and Blueprint gear is -
Josh Bowtle from Southend on Sea, Essex with the correct answer of - The Guitar.
Four runners-up prizes of a copy of Baghead Flats DVD are -
Richie Mann from Northallerton.
John Evans from Bromsgrove.
Lewis Sharman from Beccles, Suffolk.
Nick Jones from Altrincham.

Well done guys and we'll be in touch soon.
