This is the big one guys; the absolute pinnacle of British Skateboarding.

In association with Vans, the UKSA are holding the National Championships at Adrenaline Alley in Corby, Northamptonshire. In preparation for the event, the street course is to be re-built, so to set a wide variety of challengeable and innovative obstacles for the top 100 UK skaters picked especially for the event.

The ‘list’ includes none other than Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny, Alex Moul, Danny Wainwright, Pete King, Sean Goff, Kris Vile, Ben Grove and many more all competing for the mammoth prize purse of £10,000. This is hyped to be as exhilarating as the days of Radlands, and I for one can’t wait.

The event will be taking place on September 6-7th, with tickets going for £16 for the weekend in advance, or £10 on the door per day. Evening entertainment includes live bands, best trick throw outs and a bowl jam. This looks set up to be the skateboarding event of the year, don’t miss this!

Meanwhile 2 has received a healthy dump of crete this week. The project is looking likely to be open mid August 2008 from reports sent to us today from Freestyle. Please stay off the skatepark until the fencing comes down as the concrete hasn’t settled but in the meantime, have a gander at these and think about the new lines that are opening up..
