Rob Dukes is the skater featured in this Slam City Skates advert. I’m not quite sure where it was taken, but I would guess at Stockwell or maybe Kennington.

Its neither Kennington or Stockwell, but somewhere(geographically seaking) in-between… Wandsworth Road. Made of the same pre-fab blocks as Kennington and Edgware Raod. And like Edgware Road, long since demolished…
Paul Sunman took the shot right after a Powell Peralta video premiere… could have been Public Domain, or Ban This… not sure, but then it was 20 years ago. I didn’t take my board to the premiere so borrowed Dan Adams’ for this shoot.
thanks
Rob
Thanks, Rob. I’m delighted that you set the record straight. Wandsworth Road… I wonder now why nobody seemed to go there much. Was there something about the reputation of the area? But that seems odd, when you consider the scary nature of some famous spots. Or was it just that there were better alternatives relatively close, such as Kennington?
