Curtain Call: Alex Hallford

England’s Alex Hallford is a spontaneous and creative skateboard ruler - last trick is super sketchy

Every now and then skaters come along who have enough different about them that pretty much everyone can agree they are something else. Ben Raybourn is an example that springs to mind, and increasingly Nottingham’s Alex Hallfordpops up in people’s mental lists these days, too.
Why? Just that watchability factor of someone who doesn’t seem to think about what they're doing, who instead just has that innate understanding of where they want the board to go, or where it will be when he needs it.
A terrific vert skater, main man at Forty Two Skateshop, MVP of our Blu Enigma adventure and unafraid to wear an implausible rug/bodywarmer combo, get with his unique take on skateboarding from the mean streets of Britain in this leftfield Curtain Call!
