The condensed story of the creation of the first park on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta in the edit below is just part of a fascinating and heartwarming piece about the history of skateboarding in Malta which you should really check out here.

What makes it of particular interest to UK skaters is that legends Stevie Thompson and Paul Silvester both lived there and contributed heavily to the scene.
Say goodbye to the next half hour of your life.

(ps- anyone interested in finding out more about the Bulgarian/ UK dimension of the Maltese story may be interested in a feature in next month’s edition of this mag).

Every year the Volcom mini ramp comp at the ISPO trade show in Germany goes off in fine style but this year it seemed to be pushed that little further thanks to the invasion of Brits on the Piss!

Our best mini ramp riders headed to Europe including Raemers, McGauran, Churchill and Nowik but Josh ‘Manhead” Young took home €300 with a caballerial nosegrind for Best Trick and Death’s Andy Scott took 2nd place in the overall comp. Alain Goikoetxea took first and Guillaume Mocquin taking 3rd.

Check this footage for the good times.

Last week Londoners gathered round the LCB Skatestore over East to watch the premiere of the Bacon Skateboards video “unheard.” It was a good turn out for a relatively unknown company within the UK and people were stoked on the video. Amazing parts from Kevin Kowalski and the rest of the team fueled a street session afterwards and a product toss from Duffs and Bacon whose decks will be hitting the shops for this Summer.

For one week only you can go to www.baconskateboards.com and view the Video in its enteirety. You will have to register with your email and live with the spam but it will be worth it.
