The Scottish skate scene are celebrating the new Transgression Skatepark layout after its recent move and rebuild in Edinburgh. The Shralp Your Bass crew have blogged everything you need to know about this week following the official opening on Friday 14th October. Have a look at some of their photos and footage of the new build here.
“The park has moved from Leith to a more central location. Plus it’s had a fresh coating of really nice wood. As well as a few tweaks to the layout!.”
Firstly, it’s good to see Rob Mathieson back skating after his injury. Secondly, he joins Jamie Morley, Matt Boulton and Ben Coughlan at Mile End for a few tricks in this edit filmed by Mark Jackson.
Thirdly, the new Haslemere skatepark in Surrey is open and features in this. We didnt know that Haslemere was designed by Wheelscape and built by Gravity until last week. A first example of 2 skatepark builders working together which is good to see. Enjoy this short.
Good to see that nothing changes down South at Bournemouth’s local concrete hole. The NPNG boys are still having a laugh at Kings Park and surrounding areas this summer. Watch their latest edit here.
