Caught in the Crossfire

Ph: Nosegrind in Sheff by Tristan Rudman

Get stuck into these offcuts from Dan Beall’s latest Eazy Streets edit shot with Sheffield’s locals inclusing Ash Hall, Shaun Currie, Ben Rowles and more.

You can find the OG edit here.

Carl Wilson filmed some concrete slaying with Alan Glass for this latest Pixels edit for Creature who have new decks out this week. Clissold Park and Harold Hill provide the sessions.

This is good news for those in the Harlesden and Willesden area of North West London as a new skatepark looks likely to be built soon in Roundwood Park. I’ve walked my dog in this park for many years and sat on the hill overlooking Wembley Stadium many times. Stoked that there will be something to skate in there soon.

A design consultation took place last night at Youth Centre on Longstone Avenue where the local community attended the consultation event and provided their views. Whilst the facility has support in principle, there are a number of concerns that need to be sorted before the skatepark can move forward.

More updates soon.

There may be a football tournament going on in Brazil right now but the best team out there has the likes of Pedro Barros, Raney Beres, Greyson Fletcher and more involved. More radness from a Thrasher crew who never fail to deliver.

Real Skateboards’ latest pro rider Davis Torgerson has finally dropped his new section today on Thrasher after a week of build up. This Ticket To Ride was well worth the wait.

You may well have seen these two at Crossfire events in the past but Mile End is one of the local spots where you can find both Arturas Jendovickis and Gytis Bliuvas. IFIVE Distribution have released this new edit filmed at the East London park of late alongside some funk.

‘That’ subway ollie by Koki Loaiza has been finally unleashed from the 2013 Tengu: God of Mischief film this week. One you can watch again and again.

UK ripper Daryl Dominguez made us smile this week. He is a true professional without having to try. Look out for his cover on this month’s Sidewalk Mag.

Roger Skateboards brought the quirkiest edit of the week from Zachary Blatt. Enjoy this radness.

Shoe stoke of the week went to the return of the éS Accel. Click Don Brown’s photo to see how popular this was.

One of the best Go Skateboarding Day edits came from Piladelphia’s Sabotage crew who avoiding cops, general nutcases and spiderman.

Callum Paul celebrated his new Pink Heath and Bubbler decks on Passport this week with this amazing edit. Watch this and then go skate.

The biggest team news announcement of the week came from Chris Cole whose statement mentioned he was leaving Zero after 13 years to move into the future. Take in this Wallenberg footage in homage.

Slam of the Week is a leg breaker from Broderick Gumpright. Don’t watch this if you are about to go skating.

We shall end this on a tribute to the one and only Tom Penny as he has been back on British soil this week and is still the master. See you next week.

Following Jamie Thomas’ announcement this week that Zero Skateboards will now be distributed by Dwindle, Chris Cole has resigned from his position at the brand where he was a shareholder since 2011 and pro rider for the last 13 years.

Cole announced he is moving on via his instagram account last night with no clues to where he is heading next:

“I have had so many amazing years on ZERO. I can’t explain to anyone how awesome these years have been. With a heavy heart, it is time for ZERO and I to part ways. My decision has absolutely nothing to do with the partnership with Dwindle. I believe that partnership will do great things. Hold tight to see what the future holds… Where we’re going, we don’t need roads…”

The gossip suggests Primitive will be his next move alongside P-Rod, others are saying Plan B, whilst starting his own company remains an obvious possibility. Who knows, but things are a changing out there.
