It looks like Eastbourne locals will be treated to a new park this Autumn courtesy of CANVAS Spaces who have sent us these newly proposed designs today. The park is a collaboration between locals and Eastbourne’s Borough Council.

The location for this new build is Hampden Park situated just off Hampden Park Drive in Eastbourne and will boast a bowl that with 4.5’ tranisitons rising to 6’ at its deepest. There’s also a flat bank that has been designed with transitioned hump for the good old alley oop ollie and handrails of varying styles from large, flat, round, sloping to straight. The build is set to start next week with a view to opening this September.

More info will follow soon.

Last weekend we hit the road to Hemel Hempstead to meet up with the Death team and locals to celebrate the opening of the new shop Kvultivation at the XC skatepark. It was roasting hot, so the place was a sweat box but the jam sessions were fun, bands played, the shop opened and Matt Bain left a dent in the pool.

Death reprobates then headed out to Eaton Bray skatepark in Bedfordshire for chips, beers and to watch Doug annihilate himself on a slide. This edit is the first attemp ever at trying to piece together some phone footage with an olloclip lens for fun. Up Yours.

Russell Houghten‘s incredible camera work is highlighted yet again in this REDirect edit that will leave your jaw on the floor. Note that it also pays homage to Matt Hensley‘s timeless classic on that freeway.

This must have taken a huge amount of work but once again Houghten seems to have the knack of being patient enough to make the best skateboard videos out there. Skate Edit of the Week hands down.
