Not the bank holiday w/e not the we of the 16th and possibly not the first weekend but I'll have to check that one..

To be fair the longer we leave it the more healed I'll be and the more practive I'll have had.

Going to cantelowes in a short while (7pm, fri).
All welcome to join

this is when i wish i was in london cantelowes is so perfect

Edinburgh needs a 'crete park (or a bowl at least!)

Skated hackney Lumps last night for the first time, its amazing. That place seems to get no coverage whatsoever but its so good, like a weirder even more odder place to skate than original stockwell. If your in the Hackney area get down there, make sure you have big wheels though.

My favorite video too.... I found it in a charity shop in sussex on DVD for 3 pounds yesterday!!!

I have some germans speaking

Steve Olson and Chris Haslam, two of the skateboarding greats.

wow! conan, that mr miyagi footage is sick - thanks man, never seen that before! i was stoked on richie jackson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CT6G0NJoqU) - but mr miyagi rules! good to see fun, creativity and individuality back in skating...

sorry, i've only just found this thread! and also just got back from skating all night so i'm stoked!

TheBrick(Tommy), i've skated both of these a couple of times and they're both rad! even the little bowl at Creekmouth (that name makes me laugh every time!), its a bit lumpy and the coping sticks out too much in places, but its so small and fun with a mini hip... and they're about 5 minutes from each other! there's more to do at dagenham so maybe check out creekmouth on the way. creekmouth's always pretty much empty, but dagenham can get busy with kids on rollerblades etc... best on a week day during term time if you can!


just quickly checked google maps, its only 9ish miles from E1 - who's up for riding there sometime?!

That Richie Jackson section is so sick.
Has anyone skated the skatepark in clapham common?
Its pretty crap but its about 5 minutes from my house so I hit it alot.

i think i rode past it recently, the red metal one? not skated it tho.. i end up at broadwater farm skatepark alot as its a 10 minute ride from mine.. local spots are rad! but tonight we skated the round marble planters by old street station, sooooo much fun!

Its red after it rains it gets a nice coat of rust. I wouldnt recommend skating there really, the grounds a bit rough and the quarter pipe is so damned weird its almost imposable to skate if your not used to it. I need to skate cantalowes I still havent been down there since it was done, im a bit of a hermit.

Winstan Whitter's big premiere night tonight, gonna be good tings happening.

The film's wicked, on at 8.00, music from 9.30...

I used to skate that park a lot when i my old girlfriend lived in clapham junction, i like the flat bar and grind box, super fun just to piss about on.

Gino iannucci Epically latered is up and running on VBS, i was never into the whole girl/chocolate/mouse thing as a kid but can really appreciate it nowdays. Good to see Epically latered back on.

has anyone skated the new brixton bowls? its going to be completely open from Saturday onward, just in time for the winter... but on the plus side i think theres going to be a skate jam there on saturday or sometime soon.

Do you mean Stockwell or is this somewhere new?

no, birxton bowls = stockwell skatepark = brixton beach theres probably some other names for it to, i guess its confusing because its in brixton but on stockwell road.

I might pop down on saturday/sunday if the weather is good. Havent skated brixton in ages.

I was across the road from Stockwell at Brixton Academy on Wed & Thurs for the Vodafone live music awards & its still not finished . They are still working on the funbox & other parts . The rebuild started August last year & its still going over a year later

some parts of what you said are untrue, the funbox is completely finished, as is everything other than the jersey barrier which is getting sorted out today. the build has taken too long, but it should be finished today. the problems that they had whilst building it werent really their mistakes, they got sold the wrong type of concrete which wasnt good enough, plus some other problems.

I hope the new surface makes it quicker - those massive cracks used to get on my tits (and I ride with 56mm wheels!)

well i was there today, and although it was pretty packed i still manage to get a few super fast lines which included getting a little air over the main bump just from speed, there was about 3 fixed gear bikes there but i didnt recognize anyone.

If any twat snaked my line on a fixed wheel bike in a SKATEpark I'd be hard pushed not to lose my temper...
