A crew of skateboarders who were in an argument with a park ranger for skating the famous Love Park in Philadelphia have hit national news stations all over America after filming their encounter.
There’s nothing like letting the side down and giving the public a reason to hate skateboarders. Only fools go down this route.
Looking for a summer chiller to wear after a skate? Lakai‘s Echelon collection could be the perfect option as these off board kicks have everything you need for comfort and ease. Canvas shoes are always my personal choice in the heat as you can throw them in the washing wachine and get more use out of them if you don’t like wearing socks. These canvas numbers are perfect for hot sunny days, slip on and off and are silky on the comfort front.
Check out their Camby range too as they have a tasty mid out right now that is a best seller for the reasons stated above. Simple but effective for happy feet.
I would imagine that most people viewing this site would hate football, but for those idiots who support Tottenham, here’s some tic tac skills from your legendary French player David Ginola on a deck.
Knowing that Torey Pudwill has a huge part planned for the Plan B video that is scheduled to drop very soon, you would have thought that footage would be thin on the ground. Nope. Enjoy his “Supernova” part with even more flip in, flip out madness and the longest back tail slides in the biz. Amazing skater.
Yep, it’s that time of the year again when grown men skate around Essex picking up points for tasks set in the infamous Lords of the Swords commandments. Where skin will definitely be left on pavements and where some will not even get past the challenges that lie ahead due to injury, fatigue and being far too wasted to complete the journey.
This year’s get together kicks off this weekend and to light up the proceedings we have set the teams fireworks related tasks within the rule book tied in with a few of our favourite tricks in amongst the others. All teams will film their results and come back with video edits, the best chosen will be hosted on this very website for the big vote to see who takes the trophy. Only one lucky crew will spend a year with the specially designed cup made this year by the good guys at Skate Interiors.
The weather looks like it is going to be perfect, good luck to everyone involved!
Congrats to all involved in the new Cirencester skate park build in Gloucestershire. It looks like the opening jam was a success! Enjoy watching Nicky Howells, Andy Coleman, Jed Cullen, Joe Habgood, Luke Kindon, Ryan Price and many more christen its new curves in style for James Harris’ lens.

The tragic news of Jay Adams‘ heart attack last week has left the skateboard and surf community mourning a legend worldwide. You can read our tribute to the great man here but these images and video are some of the last recorded of Adams enjoying beach life down in Puerto Escondido, Mexico last week. They were shot by fellow surfer Nicholas Mohnacky of SurfrApp who blogged them on hearing the sad news:
“Jay ran up to me earlier that morning with a huge smile because he saw me taking photos of the boys surfing at Zicatela. I was mostly shooting Coco Nogales, not wanting to miss a shot but I fired off one of Jay as he was coming towards me deep in the barrel. You can barely see him but it was my last photo of him before he passed away so I want to share it with you.”
More photos from Jay’s family are still being uploaded to his instagram account as we type this.
Our thoughts are with family and friends.
Jay Adams RIP
The Fifty Fifty crew made great use of the free concrete delivered from Red Bull’s DIY drop and added a new addition to Daveside.
Watch this DIY Bristol edit who filmed guests from the recent Polar tour to christen it.
Grab free concrete from various UK skate shops this month and make your own. The comp is only halfway through and only Parlour in Mile End have run out of concrete so far. Details here.
Offcuts from the NOCTURNIS edit have been unleashed online this week from the West and South Coast collective known as OWL with Al Hodgson, Jamie Platt and many more involved.
Real’s Jake Donnelly smashes it in this full part for Thrasher in Buffalo. Watch and learn.
