Check out some more magic work that our friends CANVAS Spaces have sent us to launch today. The locals of Peacehaven in East Sussex are about to see the start of a new park build before the summer kicks in with Lewes District Council behind the funding.

Following a survey on the design front, The Big Parks Project and local skaters have chosen CANVAS to design and build the skatepark. The design you see here is still in its concept stage so expect some minor amendments.

With 600m2 of concrete, the space will boast a bowl, ledges, steps, rail, a brick bank, mogul elements and a unique feature nod to the area which sits on the zero degree of the Meridian line which is part of a large Bronze-age archaeological site. Yep. Mad hippie shit! The skatepark sits within a large open space which is part of a larger project development to include a café and a car park.

We will bring you photos when they drop but for now have a peep at these and follow CANVAS on FB.

Ed Templeton‘s journey on this amazing Epicly Later’d series drops its final curtains after an enthralling few weeks of memories and facts from inside his illustrious life as a skateboarder and artist.

In this closing edit, Ed discusses the peaks and troughs of running Toy Machine Skateboards with the heartache of Bam Margera, Brian Anderson, Kerry Getz and Chris Senn and many others jumping ship before rebuilding the brand with a fresh team, injuries and much more.

The best one yet.

Looks like the DC Embassy is a wrap. Here’s a translation from a Spanish website although we disagree with the quality as some banging edits came out of there from many.

“The DC Embassy closed after 3 years. The rumour that ran for weeks on everyone’s lips has been made official and after three years of activity, the DC brand has decided to abandon the project that was a ‘Berrics style’ skatepark in Europe.

There could be many reasons for the closure of the DC Embassy due to the the high cost of the skatepark, it provided little benefit, etc.. In the last year the content (videos of riders) was increasingly poor and with little relevance. If we add that Quiksilver has bought DC and therefore will manage budgets and costs of closing it, this step was clear.

Now it remains to see how Nike SB takes shape and if it will be more successful than the Embassy.”
