Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark’s transformation has started this week after a few days last week of intense demolition. Now that the pain of seeing it being chopped up has totally gone, we will now bring you photo and video updates from the rebuild that can be found in our constantly updated feature.
Today saw the first wooden structures arrive at the park with what looks to be large transitions that would usually be associated with a bowled corner. These have apparently been made in Amsterdam and shipped here to be bolted together as the park takes its new shape.
For more updates on the new lights, the vert hole being filled and more in photos, check out the feature from today’s visit.
An immense yet disconcerting music video accompanies this single which is the first to be taken from The Hickey Underworld‘s forthcoming second album. Can you figure out what’s going on in the below? Because we’re not entirely sure. Could be any number of scenarios leading to the neverending-suicide-attempt-loop. Definitely some fucked-up shit. The starring roles are taken by the members of the band and the single itself also has that unnerving air about it. A darkly driven riff with vocals edging towards a pained howl yet somehow sounding calm and collected at the same time. Basically cool-as-fuck.
If there’s one skate team from down under that we always keep an eye on it’s HOON. Famous for their Hoon Runs across Australia, the team have released a new video edit stuffed with some killer footage for you to feast on this week that is a must see. 
This week’s funny skateboard gadget is the Stair Rover. Now get ready for this one as it’s definitely one of the funniest we have seen to date. It has 8 wheels, it’s made from aluminium and bamboo and it can apparently go down stairs. 
Massive Happy Birthday to one of the UK’s most consistent rippers. Yep, we are talking about Crayon pro Dan Wileman who has been at pretty much every Crossfire event we have hosted and swapped Bristol’s streets to skate the sunswept ledges of Barcelona thesedays. 
2012 will undoubtedly be the year that Deathgrips top the polls for the most innovative music out there. Due to the flood gates unleashing a million boring musical projects a month across the internet that get hyped one week and forgotten the next, Deathgrips have progressed from mixtape hype to insane live shows and major label backing fueled by their incredible knack of making electrifying music. They are simply light year’s ahead of the pack.
