Halloween Masssacre mini ramp jam invites and address unleashed!

Yep, it’s confirmed today. The address for the Crossfire Halloween Massacre in association with Etnies is at the old Ewer Street skatepark at Union Car Park, Great Suffolk Street, London SE1 0NR.

This skatepark was a legendary spot back in the early 1990’s. Skate sessions and parties were held here frequently so we have decided to take people back there to session the place once and for all.

Rodney Clarke
Conhuir Lynn
Simon Skipp
David Davies
Garry Woodward
Nicky Howells
Vaughan Baker
Rory Milanes
