The crew, 04 of 07.
Reggie grew up around Regency Square, skates everywhere and ends every day the same way: on the seafront, watching the sun drop behind the West Pier. Loud laugh, louder colours, never in a rush to go home.
Who is Reggie?
Reggie grew up around Regency Square and learned to skate on its slopes, much to the neighbours' annoyance.
Every evening ends the same way: board under one arm, down to the seafront to watch the sun drop behind what's left of the West Pier. The number 17 on Reggie's jersey? Ask and you'll get a different story every time.
Loud laugh, louder colours, never in a rush to go home.

Regency Square to the sea, Reggie's way
Regency Square is a grand old square of white Regency houses, open at the bottom to the seafront. Walk down through it and you're right by what's left of the West Pier, the best place in Brighton to watch the sun go down.
Regency Square
Tall white terraces around a sloping green. Reggie learned to skate here, much to the neighbours' annoyance.
The West Pier
Brighton's older pier closed decades ago and only its iron frame still stands in the sea. At sunset it turns into a silhouette, and on winter evenings starlings often swirl around it in huge flocks before they roost.
The seafront
Wide promenade, beach below, nowhere you have to be. Reggie's favourite kind of evening.
The i360
The tall viewing tower on the seafront by the West Pier. You can't miss it, even when you're not looking.
What Reggie wears
Our age beanie in fire red (with 17 on it, obviously), a black heavyweight hoodie and a grey tee for the warmer evenings.
- Custom Text Beanie in Fire Red: with 17 on the front, obviously

- Essential Tee in Heather Grey: for the warmer evenings

Questions
Where is the best place to watch the sunset in Brighton?
The seafront by the West Pier is a favourite, with the old pier's frame against the sky. Regency Square leads straight down to it.
Can you see the starlings in Brighton?
On many autumn and winter evenings, starlings gather around the West Pier and the Palace Pier before they roost. Go around sunset.
What is left of the West Pier?
Only part of its iron frame still stands in the sea, a short walk from Regency Square.
