The Circa Team continue their travels since starting their European Tour at Bay Sixty 6 in London last month.

They were in Moscow this weekend where over 2000 people showed up to welcome the team.

Circa Team Manager Julian Duval last night told Crossfire “Shit is crazy over there! Thanks again to the UK for for the warm welcome you guys gave us at the beginning of the tour”.

If you’re ever in Los Angeles and in need of skateboarding’s finest equipment or attire, make sure you drop by Salvadore Barbier’s new store SLB located at 510 Fairfax on the corner with Rosewood.

Everyone knows Sal’s a classy guy, so why not grab yourself a some OJ’s, Indys and a fresh street cruiser as you push about in your Ben Davis threads, eh?

I really don’t think Pharell’s take on hyper-expensive skate shoes will go far, but in case you need convincing of just how ugly things can get, here’s a picture of the new Terry Kennedy Pro Model for Ice Cream.

Someone tell Skateboard P that raving went out 10 years ago, please!

Well, it’s always good to get these flyers about an incoming skate jam well in advance, but this one came through today from Casual Skateboards.

The annual Urban Games event went down this weekend at Clapham Common where local London ripper Ross McGouran won this years British Championships with 50-50”s most lethal rider Flynn Trottman in second place and Crossfire’s latest 7-Set winner Adam Howe coming in third riding for Duffs and Plan B.

The new European Championship Comp comp was won by Enrico Petralia,with Ross Mcgouran in 2nd after qualification from the British comp and Australian Enjoi rider Richard Flude got 3rd who also skated the 7-Set comp this month and won cash.

This year’s game of S.K.A.T.E was won by James Gardner. 4 groups of 5 skaters went head to head with 1 winner from each round going through to the semi finals. The rifders that made the cut were Ross McGouran, Chami (Globe rider from Argentina), Richard Flude, and James Gardner. The latter went though to the finals and Gardner made off with £1000 cash with a switch frontside heelflip by all accounts.

The vert skating went off in style on Pete King’s brand new Vauxhall sponsored 14ft ramp, the biggest of it’s kind in the UK. Australian party wrecker Renton Millar schrapled the £1250 with Frenchman Terrence Bougdour and the UK’s Andy Scott coming 2nd and third respectively. The Best Trick on Vert this year was in fact the same result as the actual vert comp with Renton taking first with a kick flip frontside 5-0, Terrence Bougdour with a cab 720′ and Andy Scott with a varial mctwist into fs tailslide shove it the other side. Sasha Muller pulled a kick flip tailgrab to come 4th.

Word on the street says that this year’s Urban Games was better equipt for the skaters this year with seperate street courses, and no nails hanging up everywhere like previous years plus there was even a riders lounge!

But word also says this event was pretty empty and had nothing on previous years figures, could this be the last Urban Games we will see on Clapham Common? Only time will tell.

If ever you get invited to Winnipeg, Canada, say “Yes!” The city is about to open a brand new concrete skatepark the Forks that spans 44,000 square feet and has replicas and inspirations drawn from Barcelona, Japan and San Fransisco. Top the ledges with granite and spin out on the 17 foot cradle and you’re only halfway there. A special feature to the Newline designed park is a “magic carpet” concrete wave thing!?!

The opening date is June 30th and a start-studded line of Alien Workshop pros and ams are going to be there to try it out demo-style.

A quick click over to the Etnies blog and you’re quick to see that the fight for the right to ride is far from over.

The poor skaters from Lebanon, Pennsylvania were served with a $10000 fine ($300 per skater) for trying to participate in a Go Skateboarding Day trek through town. Apparently no laws were being broken, unless cruising is a felony..?
