‘Out Of Stock‘ is a special exhibition due to take place in the early summer of 2011 that focusses on creative work to emerge from Stockwell Skatepark created by a myriad of contributing artists.
In the build up to the exhibition a blog has been set up for the purpose of hosting anyone’s stories or photos from Stockwell, old and new. Despite being online for just a couple of weeks, it’s already picking up momentum and will inevitably evolve into a valuable and comprehensive source for all things Stockwell by the time next summer comes along.
Have a look at the blog by clicking this link and watch the trailer for ‘Out Of Stock‘ below.
Sam Bird has recently invested in a Canon 550D and has gone on a filming mission around London resulting in this short little edit entitled ‘Under Grey Skies‘ that’s a perfect aesthetic treat to get you hyped this cold monday morning.

When you’re done, head over to Sam’s website and ‘follow’ him in the way that’s acceptable and not creepy.
Another one of Wheelscape’s super smooth creations is now ready to be shredded and shralped by all that are keen. Now, there’s no one better to introduce the new park to you than Wheelscape Architect Jeremy Donaldson; here’s what he had to say about the park via email.
“Wheelscape’s skatepark in Petersfield is ready to roll. Fresh super smooth concrete for street and bowl riders alike, featuring a super long linear street course and a double level bowl. Micro & mini quarters, long ledges, flat bar, hubbas, 2-flat-2 set with rail, brick gap and a wave kicker keep you entertained along over 60m of real street terrain. The main bowl is Wheelscape’s most organic creation to date with rollers in the bowl, on the coping and the decks; the platforms turn up into quarters which link into the 8ft curved Burnside wall at one end of the bowl. The 5-6ft mid section of the bowl has several hips and a roller connecting into the mellow 8 foot deep end. There is a timber deck along the length of the skatepark to give people space to chill and help stop the usual new-skatepark-mud-bath situation.”
Sounds awesome right? Have a look at the video Wheelscape posted today to celebrate the opening below and check the map to start planning your trip.
