The ice block is a great touch, enjoy this.

For over a year, Ealing resident Piers Leigh has been campaigning for a skatepark to be built in the Ealing area. The original idea was for the park to be built in Elthorne Park but after some awkward political movements and a successful campaign against Piers the location had to be changed.

It is essential that 11-18 year olds of the West London area have a local skatepark so please click on the picture below to fill in a short and simple survey that won’t take longer than a couple of minutes.

Check out the edit below and be sure to have a good read through the fantastic new issue of Tweaker featuring Dave Wallace here.

Check below for the trailer. Whether or not you’re on board with the future of skateboarding video releases, you cannot deny how significant this year has been for the online generation; this could well be the final game-changer in a year full of them.

Magenta’s video log is one of the most rewarding to keep up-to-date with. In addition to their frequently awesome one-off edits, the Paris-based company have kicked off their new ‘capsule’ edits.
