For the third year running Adrenaline Alley in Corby opened its gates only to get shut down by the constantly progressing standards of British skateboarders at the Vans UKSA Championships.
Element’s Ross McGouran battled his way to keep his number one position by matching serious consistency with huge tricks. The gap over the pyramid to nosegrind down the rail will go down as the highlight of the weekend for many who witnessed the street comp over the weekend.
Superdead rider Harry Lintell continued to prove that all the hype surrounding him is for legit reasons – he’s simply one of the best skateboarders in the country and took second place with fluid lines filled with big tricks all performed flawlessly. Style for miles.
Unabomber’s Keith Walsh took 3rd place with plenty of idiosyncratic tricks and an unexpected leap over the pyramid to flat. If there was a big air award for this year’s street comp this Irishman would have took it no problem.
Best trick was awarded to Will Golding with a kickflip nose manual nollie flip out down the sloped block. Caradog Emanuel took second with a kickflip backlip down the same block and Barber earned some cash for a perfect backsmith pop over down the big rail. Sam Beckett destroyed Corby’s vert ramp and took 1st place with Andy Scott coming second and Jussi Korhonen in third. Helena Long put the girls comp on the map with Lucy Adams and Lois Pendlebury, the girls got some.
Another year, another testament that British skateboarding is something to love, support and brag about. Look out for more from this weekend including all of the results on this site once we get back into London and get rid of the hangovers.

10 tricks with Callum Mac
Bournemouth and Boscombe’s 
They may have split up recently but King Khan and BBQ certainly laid down a filthy garage legacy before calling it quits.
Allegedly the pair famous for their lo-fi doo wop ended their musical journey at the Sydney Opera House this year after being hand picked by Lou Reed and Lauri Anderson to play two shows at the Vivid Live festival they were curating.
The good news is that Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) is back with a solo album called ‘$’, look out for its release on November 8th.

Circa Is…Dennis Durrant
Fancy some classic rock and some Dennis Durrant footage? Do it.
Witchcraft Skateboards and Consortium have joined forces for a Halloween Jam down at the lovely Kings Park Skatepark in Bournemouth.
Get down there for some blood spilling on Sunday 31st October from 2pm onwards for a 5 hour session before an after party doused in Death Metal at the Portman Hotel on Ashley Rd in Boscombe with live cacophony from Parasitized and Crypsis.
Atlanta’s All the Saints came on our radar ahead of their mammoth debut album Fire on Corridor X through the Souterrain Transmissions label back in November 1998 and left a crater sized hole in the brains that were smart enough to listen.
We heard through the vine of grapes that the trio have recorded a new album to follow up this classic which will be released in 2011 (through ST again) and from listening to this album just once we can share the good news that they are back with yet another classic. We are unable to reveal the full details or even the album title but for now, chow down on this video for Sheffield and get hyped for another dose of psychedelic, stoner, shoe-gaze, wizardry from a band who need to be on your radar as of today.
The Second Coming from another Withcraft Hardware rider has been released by the UK’s most metal skateboard company today.
This new edit featuring Hastings rider Sam Roberts shows his hairy legs and his grinding skills combined. Sam did some work experience here back in the day when it was all fields of course, join the coven with him below and smash some coping.
