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.

Lovenskate have issued a trailer today for their debut video that is scheduled to drop in December this year. Expect footage of Matt Ransom, Lucy Adams, Liam Sproat, Alex Barton, Ewen Bower and more with an in-depth insight into Parque La Carolina skate scene in Ecuador.
Stu told us this morning that: “After much deliberating it’s going to be called ‘The Lovenskate Video‘ and it will be done and ready to show by early December. It’s gonna have a hefty friends section with a sprinkling of Euros, Team sections and lots more. It’s gonna come in a nice printed package with a zine and stickers and there will be a premiere in London as soon as it’s ready to go.” Get in.
Isis have sat on a video for the track ‘Pliable Foe‘ for a few years, until now. It’s been over two and a half years since the band split up officially in May 2010, but the full production for the track that is lifted from the “Temporal” album was posted online last night.
Watch it here and hope they reform at some point.

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.
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.
