After the making of 'Network Neighbourhood' in the summer of 1996 alot of people began moving away from Chelmsford or skating different spots more regularly. Paul was living in Southsea, Rus and Lloyd were skating in Colchester and Ipswich more, Kev moved to Southsea, Jacob and Steve moved to Uni, etc, etc. Russ filmed a little footage between 1996 and 1997, most of it either in Colchester (Willy Gees carpark, SGR banks, etc) or Ipswich but also from three road trips, one to Southend, one to Cornwall and one to the second Harlow fundraiser comp. The footage in this clip was the only Monster Network footage filmed in the period after the 'Network Neighbourhood' video up to the end of the millennium. Paul made a couple of Southsea videos in 1998 and 1999 and Rus and Paul made a High Wycombe video in 1998 but there wasn't a new Monster Network video until 2001.
Some of Toby's footage was taken from his comp line at the Harlow fundraiser, if you look closely you can see Si Skipp getting bgps. Also getting bgps is Rus' first car, the red fiesta. Not long after its video appearances it got stolen and joyridden around Clacton and then Rus drove it in to a post at Willy Gees carpark. Poor little car! Paul would like people to try their hardest to ignore both his horrible camo trousers and, most of all, his horrible mong pushing... it is embarrassing stuff, but what can you do?
