Just before you think (arguably) the best skateboarder ever to grace this zine is about to give up pushing wood, the title actually refers to the Koston Block at the Pioneer Skatepark at St Albans. The park is about to undergo a refit anytime soon so Alex Barton made sure his favourite piece of wood got nailed as it’s time for a re-work over there. More about Alex and his crew at www.riotsquad.net but don’t forget about this Saturday’s Valentine’s get together there. All info here.
