If you are in the know you would be aware that Hereford’s new concrete skatepark has had phase 2 completed lately to reveal a very sick new park indeed. The official opening video put together by the guys who build the park at Wheelscape has hit the web, enjoy the fun that this new build has brought to the area featuring words from Grim from Freestyle, Kill City’s Lee Dainton and many more.

Some of Bristol’s finest appear in George Nevin‘s latest offcuts edit that appeared on the web overnight. Check the West Country scene by Day to Night here with Nicky Howells and many more.

French has finally dropped his biggest dose of putrid metal into the skate scene this week by hooking up with illustrators Paul Parker and Murdoch Stafford to launch a new board company called Witchcraft. If you love the stench of Death you will be stoked to know that the wonderful grafters of Rock Solid are distributing so if you are one of many skate shops that check this site daily then get in touch to stock and also note that Jamie Morley, Sam Roberts and Jake Snelling have also joined the cult as team riders.

Witchcraft Hardware has been set up to spread of dissension and rebellion throughout the younger members of Kindred society – all boards are always limited to a run of 100 only, so if this is what you need in your life right now go join the Coven at www.witchcrafthardware.com.

JR is apparently back, but it’s definitely official- you suck at the rap game son. Roger to that.
