Behind the Scenes of the Toxic Wasters sticker exhibition

TOXICWASTERS-STICKER-PACKOver the last 2 months Matthew Bromley has been beavering away in here contacting who we thought were the best 12 illustrators out there to produce a deadly, toxic, nuclear mutated sticker ahead of our TOXIC WASTERS skate sticker exhibition that will be held at our Halloween Massacre on October 28th.

In the end, invitations were sent out to Paul Parker, Mr Gauky, Kyle Platts, Sam Taylor, Matthew Bromley, French, Stu Smith, Fos, Craig Scott, Dan Singer, Paddy Jones and Tom Slater. All of them replied with excitement as who else has thrown a sticker exhibition in years? They make up one of the most important parts of skateboarding. Read our recent feature on skate stickers here for proof. The illustrations came back swiftly and Stu Smith at Lovenskate was waiting for them. Watch this video of how these stickers were printed and get hyped on the results.

Only 100 limited edition, collectors sticker packs have been made, all cut and made by hand. Visit our store to pick up an exclusive slice of skateboard sticker history now before they get snapped up, available now for pre-order at £10 (+postage) before Halloween on 31st October, or £15 (+postage) after Halloween.

Not only will you receive 12 limited Toxic stickers, but also 2 bonus x Vans stickers, 1 x Front Magazine sticker and a Crossfire in the packs!

Thanks to all of the artists involved and for your support in making this work!

New Paignton park by Maverick opening October 26th

Maverick Skateparks have designed and built another amazing looking skatepark, this time down located in Paignton, Devon.

Paignton was designed as a large-scale flowpark encompassing a mix of street and transition, that can be sessioned from any direction. The park drops down from an open plaza area with ledges and a manual pad into a spacious flowpark with hips, radial jumpbox and an assortment of gaps. The flow in the top end of the park is linked by a large halfpenny extension with inset ledge.

There’s also a retro bowl at the lower end of the facility with flowlines in/out via a waterfall section and two large quaterpipe hips. The retrobowl has pool coping throughout and is flanked by 2 large quarterpipes that provide returns back into the park, fast, fun and super flowy!

West country heads are looking forward to another opening jam next Wednesday 26th October between the hours of 2-4.30pm, so join them down there if you are local this half term and celebrate another fantastic build with the Maverick guys. The park can be found at Parkfield House, Colin Road, Paignton, TQ3 2NR. Click here for a map and click here for the Facebook event page.
