The Campus Pool Project designs by Canvas Spaces

Campus_Pool_skate_canvas_design_bristol

Our good friends at Canvas have sent us the full plans of the much talked about Campus Pool Project in Bristol to launch as an exclusive for you to gaze over today. One of these images has been shown online in a local Bristol newspaper already, but here’s the other two so you can see it from all angles.

This is a spectacular new project that is transforming the old Bishopsworth Swimming Pool in Whitchurch Lane into a skate park, saving the building from demolition.

Tim and Andre from Transitions Skate have been behind the project, the same dudes that run The Campus indoor skate park at in Winterbourne. They chose CANVAS Spaces to design and build this epic new park who are now one third into the job that will eventually have office space and a café. If everything goes to plan, the work on this special new pool spot will be completed in May this year and open to the public this summer.

Well done to all involved. It’s another fantastic example of skateboarders doing positive things for local kids by creating amazing new spots. Scroll down for Liam Cooper’s videos that are appearing on Instagram as the build moves forward.

Classics: Tom Penny in Menikmati

tom_penny_es_skate_skateboarding

All hail Tom Penny from his Menikmati section for éS back in 2000. French Fred left some words about it:

“When I was editing Menikmati, it was pretty cool to go thru old tapes containing Penny footage, that other people filmed. At the time of Menikmati, Tom was in a very dark period, getting new footage with him was pretty much mission impossible. So we decided to use old archives for this part, whatever cool stuff we would find, then saving whatever new stuff for his Flip “Sorry” part. For this Menikmati part, I only filmed the switch front foot impossible on the hip!”

Ben Raemers Enjoi Cock Piss decks

ben_raemers_cockpiss_deck_enjoi_skateboardsck_e

Ben Raemers teamed up with Rob Mathieson’s illustration skills for his new Cock Piss graphic featuring none other than the legendary Alan Partridge. The best part of it is that it also comes with scratch off graphics so you can take off Alan’s trousers and also change the writing on the car. Genius! We wonder how many people will try and sniff it.

These are heading to your local skater owned skate shop this week so get down there and support one of Britain’s finest.
