Breaking news – this is a photo of a sketch of Kennington bowl. Read the captions carefully, then make sure you skate this place as hard as you possibly can.
If the money grabbing gits of Lambeth council want to destroy this piece of history and replace it with trees, then don’t let it happen easily.
Jamie Harrison from South London said to Zac on the subject “Kennington being removed, my arse thats my fucking manor, they will have move me and my whole gypsy family chained to the fucking barriers, to get at it, I have called in a whole bunch of tree hating punks from Northampton (they love concrete there) to secure the site, two had offered to move into the cracks leading up the trannies, and the other 12 want something more refined so i gave them your home address! They were so stoked when I told them they would have to stay somewhere with a fox in it…..”“.

Skinhead Moonstomp
A new book by photographer Gavin Watson is going to be released at the end of September called ‘Skins‘ documenting the British skinhead scene.
Check this documentary below and look out for the book coming out through Independent Music Books. We should be able to bring you a review of this once we have a copy here at HQ.
The relationship between Vans Shoes and Danny Wainwright has blossomed over the years so it was not a surprise to see a special limited edition collaboration between the shoe brand and Bristol’s most efficient skater owned shop hit the shelves this month.
Ten years have passed since the 50:50 Store took it’s place in skateboardings underground elite and to this day Danny and Syd are still there defying the odds of running a credible store for skateboarders, attending and supporting underground events and seeing off the chain stores that have sucked the UK scene dry when the financial rewards and timing suited them.
Wainwright himself is currently and always will be one of the ambassadors of our countries skateboard heritage, after all, Danny was the first UK pro to have a Vans signature shoe out back in the 90’s as well as holding the worlds highest ollie record to this very day.
The release of this half cab defines Vans’ support to their biggest UK pro rider and celebrates such a wonderful relationship between the rider and the shop that has paved the precedent for future Skater Owned Shops to deliver goods to our local community in the shop and online.
The shoe itself sees Wainwright and Co deliver a colourway never seen before on Steve Caballero’s legendary signature model. The electric blue, black and grey appearance will not only be appreciated by the skateboard community but also the sneakerfreaks out there who collect the rarest footwear, as this limited edition pair of historic shoes will be sought after across the globe.
Get them now before they to take their place in UK skateboard history and be proudly part of it yourself. Visit www.vans.co.uk for the full flavour and pick them up from www.5050store.com online.

eS Game of Skate Finals
The eS Game of Skate Finals went down over the weekend, with a mental display of what can be done on a board these days.
Alex Mizurov continued his unending run of being really fucking good and not bailing ever to win the Am contest, bagging himself a year’s free mobile phone contract, year’s supply of bearings, and Transworld subscription.
However, the bigger boys in the Pro contest weren’t actually that big, and possibly not even pro. Chris Cole snapped the 1st place spot with a backside 360 kickflip leaving little Nyjah Houston and Mike Mo behind. Chris took home a tasty $10,000 for his troubles, see the full results below.
Am
1. Alex Mizurov
2. Andrew Smith
3. Carlos Lastra
4. Matt Lemond
Pro
1. Chris Cole $10,000
2. Nyjah Huston $5,000
3. Mike Mo Capaldi $3,000
4. Javier Sarmiento $2,000

Battle of Hastings 2007
In between flash floods and a summer that never was The 3rd annual Battle of Hastings somehow managed to land on a sunny day. The park was heaving with skaters from all over the shop and the park was taking a heavy battering.
The fancy dress effort was most spectacular from Robin Hood to Tarzan and far too many guys dressed as ladies for my liking.
60 people signed up to battle it out, Amir Williams taking the win in A group closely followed by Harry Potter from Crawley and in 3rd place was the Gypo army with a doubles run From Meanwhile Kev & Aaron Sweeney. B group was won by Toby Shaw and C group was headed up by Gamester.
Highlight of the day was the Vert wall best Trick. Aaron took the win with a lien disaster closely followed by Harry with a blunt taking a good ten slams before he rode it away clean. Others through down feeble grinds, back disasters, frontside airs and other radness.
Prizes were handed out as everybody headed off to the pub, a good day indeed. Hugh thanks to everybody who helped run the day, all the skaters that made the journey down and all our sponsors: Death Skateboards, Vans Shoes, Neue Eyewear, Casual Skateboards, Jibstar Skateboards, Sidewalk Magazine & The Source Shop
