Take in the raw footage from Willis Kimbel‘s Halloweekend edit that Creature dropped last week. You know you have dig deep to get a full part together like this, but watching it raw adds that extra fuck you factor every time. That water park…

Enjoy some left over clips from ‘Trust Thy Crust’ with some footage of Red Brick Rascals crew Danny Abel, Luke Pont, Ash Humphrey, Frank O’Donnell, Ant Dart, PJ, Cass Daig and more shredding the crust around the Tunbridge Wells area.

It’s always a risk to visit London on a skate trip in October but the Dilabor crew rolled into town from Lisbon and managed to avoid wet weather.

Click play for what was captured at many of London’s spots with footage of Portugeezers, Bernard and Laurence Aragão, with their friends Alex Anderson, Alex Edwards, Alex Fuller, Bernardo Gomes, Hector Barnett, João Freixo, Mike McGuinness, Mitch Glew and Ze Cardoso.

Liverpool locals have spent the entire year watching not one, but four new skate parks built in their city and even seen the first glow in the dark park in the UK open last month. This week though saw the opening of Newsham Park‘s spanking brand new curves, brought to you by the consistently creative Canvas Spaces.

Liverpool City Council commissioned all four of these park builds with Canvas specifically taking care of Newsham, a Grade II listed Victorian park, open since 1868, that stretches to 121 acres of land. As a result of this grand title, Canvas had to make sure that the concrete had a certain look in the colouring of the crete itself.

The result is a beautiful looking space with approx’ 800m2 of concrete poured, featuring long, low-level trannies, Barcelona-esque banks with lips, banks to ledges, manny pads, a sick granite kerb, handrails of varied sizes, a 5ft deep bowl. Take a look at the photos of the final work to see how well crafted this looks.

You can find Newsham Park at Gardner’s Drive, Liverpool, L6 7UN. Click here for a map.

The Magenta crew cruised through Paris to celebrate their 5th Anniversary with this edit for Live Media.

It’s never fun having to write stuff like this but when skate shops get burgled there’s an obvious way of everyone helping the scene.

Parlour Skate Shop in Mile End was broken into at 1.30am this morning, three thieves smashed their way in and left with with tens of thousands of pounds worth of stock. The majority of the property taken is made up of fairly rare brands only sold in a few shops in London, so if you are offered skate product anywhere, then you need to report it rather than pick up a bargain.

Parlour have posted on insta to look out for brand new clothing including Caps, T-Shirts, Crew and Jackets from Polar Skate Co, Helas, Rip N Dip, Independent, The Quietlife, Levis, Thrasher etc, plus Independent trucks, sizes 139 / 149 / 159 * Thunder trucks, sizes 145 / 147 / 149 * 5boro VHS Series decks and the Caliente Series Deck (these are a new range that are not even readily available).

If you are offered these stolen goods, take a photo of those selling it and buy the product from them. (Parlour will reimburse you for the product and reward you highly). All you need to do is personally message the shop at shout@parlourskatestore.co.uk with a location and image.

Note that the shop in Mile End will be closed as they clean up the mess, but their Hackney store is open as usual at 59, Hackney Rd. Shouts to everyone who spreads this message fast by sharing this post.
