Sign the Crystal Palace skatepark petition

You cannot dispute the legendary history that Crystal Palace carries for skateboarders. It was once a mecca for skateboarding in the 1970s and 80s for hosting the first ramp in South London and its legacy will continue if the current locals get backing from skateboarders who read this.

Our feature that delved into the days of Crystal Palace back then are documented here. Take it in and then sign the petition to help build a great new park there again.

All parks deserve your support, please sign it and share this post.

SEX – Jakke Ovgren art exhibition at Beach London

Polar Skateboards graphic machine Jakke Ovgren will be in London to open his first ever solo exhibition featuring his work at Beach London next Thursday.

The exhibition, titled SEX (Sick Emotions X-zibit) will feature drawings, paintings and prints of his unique dark artwork that features rollerbladers being chopped into pieces, fat kids fighting for cake and more Mark McKee, Cliver and Bratrud inspired comic based goodness.

SEX provocatively sees child-like characters in a range of disturbing sexual scenarios and although sounds dodgy as hell, it should have a strong dose of his tongue-in-cheek humour running throughout its theme and will be worth checking out.

This exhibition opens February 27th and run until March 23rd.
