Missed the 'London Calling' exhibition in the big smoke?! Well catch @winstanw documentary 'London Calling: A whole era showed up' featuring many of the heads behind the exhibit & no doubt the chaos created from wrangling tonnes of skaters from at least 3 decades of skateboarding 🤯...my hat goes off to you sir. If you're closer to Los Angeles than Brighton (Brighton Picturehouse) or the Welsh capital, then get yourself over the Skateboarding Hall Of Fame, Simi Valley, where it's also screening....alongside 5 Brits being added to the fame wall. With @stevedouglascfc1 at the helm you know it's gonna b a goodun 🛹🎥💥🏴🇺🇸
'London Calling: A Whole Era Showed Up' chronicles the inception, creation, preparation, and recollections of the 'London Calling!' exhibition launch, as well as accompanying events, held across London in 2023. From the voices of the team to the legendary 70's skateboarders, they all share their excitement as they revel in the ultimate 40 plus year reunion.

The lovely folks at House Skatepark in Sheffield have come up with a super idea to help support local skateparks this winter!
Here’s their concept ……. and with our experience of the stinking weather in Wales, we love it!
“Everyone has heard of go skate day. Set on the longest day of the year so everyone can hit the streets or at least be outdoors as is only natural. Living in the dark rainy north being outdoors isn't always an option so we thought why not go skate indoors day on the shortest day of the year.
After a chat with out friends and fellow skaters at some of the other parks we thought we'd hold the first annual go skateboarding indoors day”.
