Rock N Roll theme park planned
Plans for an $800 million rock and roll theme park in Arizona have been announced.
The park is to be called Decades, and will be divided into separate regions that represent decades from the 1960s to the present. The 1960s section, for example, will emphasise the British Invasion and Motown, while the 1980s would focus on the rise of the music video.
Park attractions may include The Beach Boys wave pool, the Grand Funk Railroad and the Hotel California. Developers hope to complete the park by 2012 and expect approximately six million visitors a year, according to the Arizona Star.

New Flip Am
Suddenly, there is a new rider on Flip. Two days after officially getting on the team, he won the recent GVR contest, beating many of skating’s current elite. Luan de Oliveira is a natural fit for the Flip Team; always smiling, always progressing and probably better than you!
Luan comes from Porto Alegre in the South of Brazil, and has been secretly skating there for the last seven years. It’s probably no coincidence that Ronaldinho comes from his home town, and Luan looks like he is going to make a similar impact on our skateboarding world.
He has only just turned 17, and you can bet your money this young gun is not going to be a “Man Am”.

Hell Is For Heroes are ill
Illness has blighted what is rumoured to be the last ever Hell Is For Heroes tour.
Citing “recurring illness” the London post hardcore quintet have cancelled the last 3 dates of their tour. Last night’s Cardiff dates, tonight’s show at Islington Academy and the November 14th show in Tilburg are casualties in what the band have described as their last tour until their “reunion tour of 2037”. The band explained in an email to fans that they’d be working on other projects and potentially a fourth Hell Is For Heroes album.
If you had tickets for any of the cancelled dates you can request a refund from the ticket agent, or hold tight and wait for the shows to be rescheduled in the new year.
Get better soon guys!
