The Death Skateboards crew planned a BBQ mini ramp jam in the garden of the House of Death but rain stopped play so they shipped over to the XC skatepark instead for a day out whilst it pissed down.

Geoff Rowley in hospital
“Another day, another slam” says Flip’s Geoff Rowley this afternoon from his instagram account. Lacerated kidney apparently.

Want some new footage of Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long? There must be a MADE2 coming soon but for now this RVCA jeans plug on a barrier makes for some perfect tonic whilst we wait. Get on this.
The new Drapers Field spot in Leyton, London was investigated by the Parlour crew this weekend. We have no idea how this cannot be a skate park but it’s supposed to be a cycling proficiency course/open playing space that was outlined for construction prior to the 2012 Olympic games.
We spoke to Bryce this afternoon who said that the spot had: “Waved concrete woop-de-woops, Banked ledges with angle iron, Circular bonks and perfect asphalt, Sounds like a skatepark right? Wrong! these features and more are hiding at Leyton street spot. Part of the 2012 Olympic redevelopment Drapers Field – Dubbed London’s very own “Urban Beach” according to mycouncillor.org.uk the development was initially proposed to cater for the ‘apparently’ increased popularity in “London Beach Sports” but looks like the sidewalk surfers got there first.”
Have a butchers at what’s on offer down there with Josh Cox, Hovis, Klavs, Bryce and Bell in tow for the sesh. You can find it at E15 2AZ.

Rooted – Hoon Skateboards edit
Ph: Bugs Fardell – Skateboarders Journal (#30)
Turn your attention down under to the Hoon Skateboards crew who usually do nothing by halves. This new production sees Pat Dandy, Andrew Currie, Bugs Fardell, Dorfus, Phil Billingsby, Cody Worral, Matt Cheney, and Mitchell House on the road shredding everything in sight.
There’s no better after session game with your pals than a game of darts. We have had year’s of darts parties and gatherings over the last decade with countless high scores, stupid misses and non-stop laughter to look back on.
It looks like Independent Trucks have got their game on with this new board, flights and darts package that all come in a package for about £23 this month at select skater owned shops. It will be the best money you ever spend until you lose your hand and a tasty kitty. Just don’t allow Irish Steve onto your oche otherwise he will clean you out!
Order one for this weekend from Rollersnakes.
The lovely Calow brothers made their way down to the big smoke from Darlington and Sheffield for a shred at various London spots. Danny and Ronny met up with Dan Joyce for a few filmed sessions and came back with these two edits. Top skate geezers.
