Watch this footage of local skaters in Christchurch, New Zealand who are putting the street cracks to good use out there.
Spring sunshine has given us hope this week and it’s looking likely that we will see it through until May right now so say certain reports this week.
If these claims are true then there’s a good chance that most UK skaters will hit the road and shoot the shit so here’s an edit stuffed with stupidity from a bunch of US friends who have fun skateboarding.
Start planning your summer.
Bristol skater Andy Coleman is this week’s addition to the full team over at A Third Foot Skateboards who are busy rebuilding a brand new team for this summer including Luke Kindon who was announced last week.

Mr Gravette is back this week with a line that most people would be stoked to pull out of the bag at your local park. This one lifted from the recent Bones video (that we have still not seen yet) needs no more than one minute of your time today.
Chris Ray uploaded the new trailer for the new Transworld video to Vimeo just now and announced the line up for this year’s production.
Expect sections from Mike Anderson, Theotis Beasley, Nestor Judkins, Wes Kremer, and Shane O’neill scheduled for release in June this year.
These videos have always delivered great skateboarding in the past with last year’s Hallelujah getting the best out of Pudwill, Eldrige, Hatchell, DeCenzo and more. Watch the trailer for their 23rd video release here.

Skaters who are nearby the Kent area are preparing themselves for the delivery of a concrete paradise at the new Cyclopark that is being designed in Gravesend. The A2 Activity Park will bring a variety of extreme sports alongside more traditional stuff like cycling, running tracks etc but the addition of a cracking new concrete skatepark designed and built by Gravity should make any skater in the vacinity happier than Charlie Sheen in a kitchen apron right now.
Located just south of Gravesend, within easy access of the M25, A2 and Ebbsfleet International, Cyclopark will provide a hub for the local community, and will bring regional and national events to the area when it opens in 2012. Check out the plans for the build right here and spread the word.
