A skate jam has been organised in Gunnersbury Park, West London on Sunday 22nd June to raise awareness so that a concrete skatepark can be built in the area by Ealing Council.
This will be a good one for the kids from 11am-5pm. Expect a mini ramp and some street obstacles for this local affair and and if you fancy skating the ramp for a demo then contact Piers Leigh direct.
Bay Sixty 6 hosted the Bones Team demo this Sunday represented by Chat Bartie, Dallas Rockvam, David Gravette, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki, Adam Dyet, John Motta and UK rippers Marc Churchill and Josh Perret.

Cantelowes skatepark was rinsed this afternoon as the Quiksilver Bowlriders qualifier came to town for the second year running. Aaron Sweeney took the tickets to the finals in Malmo after turning the Camden park upside down with a selection of lines and tricks that had Bob Sanderson spitting some of the best commentary heard on Southern soil.
Sweeney took speedy lines with bangers on every wall consisting of a massive fs 5-0 hop-in from the wall into the deep, tweaked airs, reverts, gap steez, smiths and ended on a frontside 360 over the gap. Scottish cannonball Benson came in a close second with pocket air blasts, lengthy ollies, blunts, transfers and kickflip indys over the hips, wall and cradle, fresh from flying into Heathrow at 8am from the US. Sick.
Third place went to the Gyppo Army again, represented this time by Kevin McKeon who rolled burly around the park steamrolling the cradle, hip and gap making the final a total pisstake. Look out for footage on Monday but for now watch the trailer below and book your flight to Malmo today.

It’s safe to say that most people never thought it could happen when Anti Hero and Girl Skateboards were billed as tour mates as teams in the US. Footage from the Portland stint has been posted on online this week with skate park footage from various team riders. This looks fun but I bet AH could not wait to get out to shred some of that famous Oregon crete!
