Bath Skatepark – have a look around

Photos: Tom Sparey

Bath’s Royal Victoria Park has been a staple meet up for locals in the area for decades. The vert ramp that once stood tall brought legendary sessions, copious amounts of folklore and also launched a few memorable names too.

The build, funded by North East Somerset Council didn’t hold back when it came to their support of this project. With new design plans coming from locals in a strong user group and the council’s will to go big, they’ve ended up with a reputable park that should serve generation after generation.

Since it was redeveloped by Canvas Spaces and opened to the public on the 26th September the new concrete has had visitors coming from afar to check it out. Josh Young was pretty much the first to get some footage on the new bowl. Canvas Spaces’ super smooth ‘crete supplied the tools whilst Josh made it look easy.

Veteran ripper Sean Goff also made a trip there from his hometown of Oxford and vowed that it’s “well worth a visit”. A lot of bowls are being built around the UK but “most of it is small though. This is one of the few decent size bowls built this year.” Scroll down for his footage.

The NPNG crew from Bournemouth laid down this new edit for Danny Bulmer’s lens to give you a good understanding of the hubba, ledge and stair set up near the bowl. Nicky Porter, Tobias Moors, Todd Langdon and Alex Tibble all in the mix with Bulmer too. Have a good look around and plan your trip soon before the winter arrives.

Address: Royal Victoria Park, Park Lane, Bath BA1 3BA. Map here.

Death to tour the UK in November

large_death_dc387

Forty years since their inception, six since their …For the Whole World To See LP was righteously re-released, and with a brand N.E.W. album out just earlier this year, it’s been a long time coming for Detroit’s Death to grace UK shores.

Having long laid claims to being the home of punk, it is with much joy we find Death set to land in the UK for the very first time in history to set the record straight and raise the Detriot flag high. With appearances at London’s 100 Club, Leeds’ Brudenell and ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas Festival, if there was ever a moment in punk rock history not to be missed, this is it.

UK Tour Dates

November
28 All Tomorrow’s Parties Nightmare Before Christmas, Pontins, North Wales
30 Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
December
1 The 100 Club, London

Husker Du to reform?

huskerduflowers

Legendary Minnesotans Husker Du have recently launched the first official website in their now defunct collaborative career, or is it?

Currently serving as a new online store-front where fans can purchase some rather tasty looking tee’s, this launch comes at a time when bassist Greg Norton has recently revealed to Minnesota’s Star Tribune that he, Mould and Hart are in ongoing communications with each-other for the first time in decades. They’ve worked out a licensing agreement for their music, and an official Facebook page is rumoured to be follow soon. Could this be the small beginnings of one of the most anticipated reunions in punk rock since 1987?
