The national unsponsored competition is back at Adrenaline Alley in Corby this year on July 25th.

The comp designed exclusively for unsponsored skaters to get out there and show the UK how much raw, unearthed talent there is. So if you’re under 16 and think you’re something then stop pissing around at your local park and shake up the scene a bit at Young Guns this month.

Entry costs a tenner but there’s a mammoth load of prizes to be won and a banging time to be had. Get out there and get some this summer.

Last year’s Vans Shop Riot comp went off in Manchester and this year we head to Leeds at The Works to see skate shops from across the UK throw their best riders into the fray for chance to get to the finals in Switzerland.

The event kicks off on July 18th and it’s free entry so get down and don’t be surprised if you get caught up somewhere in the torrent of brilliant garbage and inspirational heckling from Marc Churchill’s megaphone.

The legendary DIY spot in Laupside, Aldershot will be the host for a mental skate jam on July 17th to raise funds to expand the spot and make the place even better to skate.

‘Come Join Me At Laupside‘ will have what all skateboarder’s need, a raging BBQ, booze, live bands and of course, some free stuff up for grabs.

So come one, come all to what’s sure to be a rad day out for an excellent cause too. Get to it.

Just a reminder for you Birmingham heads out there, the premiere of Gnargore’s ‘Wizard Council‘ is this Saturday on July 17th!

The premiere will be held in the Mixing Bowl Theatre in the Custard Factory in Birmingham. And if your thirst for gnar isn’t quenched by the mosher drop, wallride and tight jean fest that the video promises to be then be prepared for some frontside slashing on the Ideal mini-ramp during the messy after party.

It’s two quid on the door and they’ll be Fallen Footwear, A Third Foot and Witchcraft goods as raffle prizes so get your beers and attend what’s sure to be a sick night.

Stay tuned for a monster interview feature with the Gnargore boys which will be online very soon…

It’s that time of year to grab your rocks, socks and cocks and head down to SKEG plaza for X-Site’s Seaside Showdown. The event is on July 24th and they’ll be tons of goodies up for grabs in the under 15 comp, the over 16 comp and the sponsored and pro jams. Get down there and get down, all-day entry is a tenner and that includes the after party so get on it!

There’s nothing meaner than the Deaner. Nothing. The gnarliest downhill skatepark in Bristol will be holding a Hardcore Funday on the 31st July and all you South-West punks are invited. Get down to Dean Lane’s training facility and expect all the usual shenanigans, just don’t turn up to skate the pansy flat-bar; this is an event for real men so it’s wallrides, bonelesses and tree stumps only. Check the flyer below for all your needs. Bring your own booze, dogs, chains, piercings etc.

The I-Path team will be heading to UK shores this July!
