Maverick Skateparks build skate-able boat in Norfolk

Good to see that the creative work force at Maverick are back out there building parks. Their concept park that includes a skate-able boat at Sheringham Skatepark in Norfolk is finally being built this month. Check out the photos of The Strip. The video design may have changed since it’s original mock up two years back but you get the idea. It has taken a while but the Norfolk scene will have a park to skate this Xmas.

The new park faces the North Sea. Google map it for directions and visit www.sheringhamskate.co.uk for all info.

Wheels are rolling forward for new London indoor park

A movement to secure funding to build the first indoor skatepark in London is underway, headed by AnnMarie Lawless. The City’s skate scene has always craved a fully indoor, world-class facility and with semi-indoor options such as BaySixty6, Southbank and Meanwhile on offer, London’s skateboarders know that expensive land rates have always been an issue for those who have dreams of building one.

Let’s hope that this is the first wave of something that takes off and we see more structure behind this story in the Islington Tribune. We will back anyone out there willing to make it work.

Scots skate 53 hours straight to raise £25,000

Sometimes you have to push the boat out to get what you want, and that’s exactly what a crew of East Lothian skaters did in October to raise money for a new skatepark. With Livingston’s bowl 30 miles away, a bunch of fund raisers got together for a charity skate and managed to drum up £25,000 of cash towards a new park after skating constantly for 53 hours. Teams of three operated in shifts of 3 hours to make this work. Get out there and do it for your local scene.

Thanks to Mark Burrows for highlighting this.
