Pioneer Skatepark in St. Albans have decided to throw a skate jam to raise money to keep the skatepark open.Lids are compulsory but your £7 entry means that this legendary spot that Creme rider Rodney Clark puts a lot of time into will stay open. Get down there on 15th March from 12pm-6pm.
Skegness may have a lovely seashore but it’s likely to be blown up on April 12th and 13th when the new Plaza opens.
A visit from Vans UK team riders and a pro jam with £1000 up for grabs should fuel the fire on the day for this Seaside Showdown, and rumours of a concrete park opening 10 miles down the road the same weekend could well make this trip an absolute must.
Expect fat birds, superb skating, chips and bald men. Check www.xsiteskatepark.co.uk for all info.
