☢️They have gone and done it!!!!! ☢️Welcome to an apocalyptic month in the company of my melted mind - @cooperinho1. ☢️If you don't know, I fiddle around with images and words to produce, not 1 but 2 skateboard related accounts! And I'm shit (at skateboarding). ☢️Apart from the mass annihilation theme I usually am very positive and welcome all to take part and have fun! ☢️Don't worry about the coming Armageddon and relax with some top quality content and follow along with likes and comments. I will do the same for you! #nuclearwar #skatereels #greenham common

Honestly, I very nearly did not show up for this… I had a really shit morning, I was in deep pain and I was grumpy and overwhelmed and overstimulated and just- it just got to me, and I just couldn’t handle it at all man. We all have moments like that: even when we think we have to be strong, it becomes wayyyy way too much, and our inner strength cracks… If it wasn’t for the people I have by my side, the people who take the time to understand me, take the time to show me it’s safe to struggle… man I don’t know where I’d be. We have to remember, that we are ALL in this together. Some have forgotten that, some greedy, some unfortunate, but at the end of the day, we’re all human. Fuck the devision, fuck the divide, FUCK THE TRASH! TOGETHER. For the fish that would die in plastic. For the pigeon that’d loose it’s legs in string and hair. For the badger that did nothing other than be born. For the kid who’d loose their mother to war… We must stand, TOGETHER. For each other, for the earth, for the animals. Remember that… #TOGETHER #WEwill #pickupyourshit #litterpicking #litterpick 🫡

THIS IS A CALL, TO UNITE… To do, what is RIGHT, over what is EASY. Every day, we are told to distract ourselves, to bury our heads into screens and into consumption… WE, do not benefit nor work in any way within this segregated world. It is not right and you FEEL it don’t you? Once again we must bring back TOGETHERNESS, COMMUNITY, TRIBE SHIT. Help a fellow person, grow our own food, lend bread to a neighbour and let the young learn the wisdom of the elders. This, is the way it MUST be. THIS, is how it has always been. TOGETHER, #WEwill!!! I will be back. I love y’all’s. See that? Two apostrophes! How funny. Seeya! 🫡 ♥️ (Oh yeah also, fuck ICE :) 👏🏼) #togetherwearestrong #iceout #togetherness #wecan

🌈For any newbies, my name is James and I manage two accounts . ⬇️ 🌈🤪🎥📻🗑️🎸👊@cooperinho1 - more personal - Art, history, Archaeology, film, cruisin' on me deck. That sort of shit. . 🌈🛹🪿🧦👟🤪🇬🇧@suboptimalskater - Currently the worst skater in Somerset, possibly the UK? But he wants to get better. Don't worry though, skaters of all abilities are featured alongside coverage of Vert comps, kit, skater profiles and a whole lot more! . 🌈Also mixtapes on both accounts, by myself and top international artist! . 🌈A note of caution- both accounts require a degree of concentration. Happy to have the non concentrators too, but if you don't scroll away in 3 seconds you might just find some like minded folk! . 🌈I spend a great deal of time creating (sort of) quality content with as much real art by myself and my chums as possible. Real life experiences of myself and the great skating and skills of those featured. This is real, girls. . 🌈As no one reads this far I can disclose my values - peace, love, anarchy (well at least have a think about it), a warm welcome to refugees and asylum seekers, equality for all. POSITiVity! If you don't agree, then stick around and let's be friends🥰

BIRDFLIP BIN NO.1 IS COMING SOON!!! 😤🗑️ Big big things came last year, but ya know what, the little litter pick was the thing that felt the most right… As I mention in the video, the council have taken the bins, the ONLY TWO BINS, in this lil small stretch of highly populated Cornwall (the stretch between Quintrell Downs and Newquay Morrisons if anyone cares to wonder) andddd the litter problem is now ABHORRENT!!! Insanely, an MP for Newquay and St Austell (@noahlawmp) came along!!! And he was shocked… He saw the issue, said repeatedly that he was utterly shocked at the amount of litter, thinking we’d “get a quarter of the amount in double the distance” and said he would personally write a letter to get a bin put back in that lil litter ridden strip! Ya know what that means y’all??… BIRDFLIP BIN NO. 1 BABY WOOOO!!!! I’ve heard that apparently, the council just don’t want to pay for bin men on that strip, which is pretty lame, and then all the litter bugs that WOULD put their trash in a bin if one was near, is like “ahhh fuck it” and chucks it… WE CAN DO BETTER. Our government, CAN, and MUST, DO BETTER. This is just the beginning. Slowlllly but surely… Love y’all! 🫡 #pickupyourshit #together #litter #litterpicking #WEwill
