Renovation for the legendary Meanwhile 2 skatepark in London has started this week.
Freestyle Skateparks have knocked down the walls in the street area to make way for a brand new redesigned set up that will be worked on throughout June and July 2008.
We will bring you the 3D plan in the next week and also update you on the opening event but for now spread the word that MW2 is not skateable until early August.
On Saturday, Luis Tolentino broke the record for world’s highest ollie, gliding over at a stonking 45 inches.
While I don’t understand all this world record pap going around right now, that doesn’t stop this from being any less beastly. Admittedly he isn’t leaping over beer crates in the outback, but it’s fucking impressive none the less.
This is how Luis chills from 45 inches to infinity:
As promised by those in the Savoir Faire laboratory, more trailers for each skater will be released daily up until the premier, which is this Friday [London – June 20th]. Today’s trailer has a sneak peek at the fancy footwork of Dave Snaddon. Check it, and stay tuned for more during the week.

More trailers to come on Monday!
I don’t even know how to begin introducing this item.
Straight up, just look at this thing – is it not the baddest and raddest thing you have ever seen? In amongst the b/s smithers, self-indulgent mega rampers and woop-de-woo bankle wankers, the contemporary skateboarding world was desperate for a banana board comeback to even up the scales.
And not only is this new offering from Creature – in all its trademark green flavoured glory – perfect for cruising through crowded streets, bombing hills and throwing in a frontside grind whenever and wherever you possible can, but this shit is shaped like a shitting COFFIN.
Do you know what this means? Coffin rolls/grinds/whatever will finally be appropriate, all day, everyday! Coming with its own deadly home, this monster is shipping out on July 15th. Best get those wills written by then.
