Al this talk from Reese Forbes and the people of Quiksilver about a high ollie challenge has got Doug Parmiter popping. Whilst stars such as Brophy are paid to practice in sunswept countries around the world, Doug is keeping it on the DL at Twickenham’s finest post office. The Gyppo Army will never be put down and this is why…

Late night City Missions is where it’s at, skating until 3 in the morning. Watching pissed up city workers wanting a go on your deck and eating shit. Getting around to skating spots that you’ve only ever seen from the bus. Going down new alley ways and streets and finding new spots and places. Not skating with a camera, eating shit on a big set of stairs and making your trick when you didn’t think you had it. Cheap cider. Giving grief and making comments when people are openly kissing on the street. Making bets on tricks for nuggets and cans. Watching people slam on tricks and not getting their nuggets on cans (Doug). Watching people land said trick easily (Elliot). Skating Chalky ledges in the square mile and talking with the police and them not giving a fuck about you skating, even though it’s “illegal”.- Gyppo Army. April 2009.

Gravity skateparks are about to finish this fun looking park called Rock Park in Barnstaple. The brickwork is definitely something new to skateparks in the UK and should create some seriously good fun for the locals and visitors this summer. The park is being opened by the Vans team near the end of the month, we will let you know the dates when they come in.

Londoners will be stoked to learn that there’s a jam in Peckham, London on April 25th at Peckham Rye Skatepark. The day will kick off from 1pm-4pm with tunes and the likes of Pete King and the gang doing demos. Check google maps for Homestall Rd in Peckham as it’s on the corner.

It’s funny how the art world and skateboarding collide. Here’s an example of more of this madness. Supreme have teamed up with Bristol artist Damien Hirst for a ltd edition deck. The decks were released in-store and online last Thursday, April 2nd. Watch the video below for the plug.

New Creature decks are fucking sick.

Check the Brue Killers on film here to see how these can open your cold ones.

Listen i know we are in London and this is the second post from Arizona today but we keep being fed bangers and you cannot ask for more. Check out Shawn Patrick‘s part in the Arizona Days video that just got sent in. Nice vibes for a Friday.
