Info

Central Library is an online shop based in the North West of England that sells zines, DVDs and other interesting bits and pieces.

It’s a small time operation ran by people who have full time jobs, so if something takes a few days to arrive, bear with us.

Thanks.

New article up on the site... Minnesotan style cat @rahlinrigsby talks us through five video parts he’s into, from Dave McDermott to Derek Morgan. Link at the top...
Rounded up a few decent videos and other assorted items of interest from across the world-wide web this month over on the blog. Hit the link at the top to take a look. Tom O’Boyle fence carve photo courtesy of @wozz6159
Now You Know is a window into the Seattle scene courtesy of @jackmaddock and Zane Guist. Definitely sitting somewhere on the wilder end of the riding spectrum, this is a half-hour long blast of roof drops, huge rails and massive doubles. Available now...
New in the shop... a tasteful t-shirt based collaboration between @skapegoat_projects and New Jersey's Tame One. Bob has used this guy's tracks on videos for years now (from the PCP addled 'Gimmesumdeth' to the smooth ode to graffiti, 'Homage 2 Da Bomberz’), so this tee, featuring a graphic by the Krylon Don himself, makes a lot of sense.
Mark Gralla blasting a brick transition as seen through the lens of Bob Scerbo. This photo (and a few other gems) are now available in poster form courtesy of @skapegoat_projects. These should really tie the room together.
Here's a bit of a gem. Prototype was the DVD Joey Piazza made before AMPM, and now, thanks to the wonders of the internet (and transatlantic shipping), we've managed to get a few copies. • Made back in the mid-2000s, the video now serves as a highly enjoyable time-capsule of a long-lost age... a pre-Instagram era of purple Animal stems and late night Brooklyn Banks sessions. • At just over 15 minutes long (along with a few bonus sections), it's not the longest video around, but what it lacks in running time it more than makes up for in the somewhat mysterious, hard-to-quantify quality sometimes known as ‘vibe’. • We’ve also got a few copies of the modern NYC classic, AMPM3 for those who didn’t snag one back in 2012. @ampm212
Got a few hardback editions of the already very swanky Temporarily Permanent book from @doleckivisuals. Serious coffee table tackle...
The interview with Jim Newrick from the last issue of Red Steps is now up on the blog. Click the link at the top for tales of his early days riding dirt jumps in Sunderland and some thoughts on the pitfalls of robotics. Photos by @wozz6159
