The contractors will be on site at Whitley Bay skatepark next Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd of October 2008 to do remedial works. There is a bit of a leak in the Panama Bowl and other small snags to put right. The council would appreciate if you could spread the word to your fellow users to keep away from the skatepark on those 2 days. |

Red Bull is proud to announce the arrival of Manny Mania in the UK. The competition, which has been a huge success in the States, will see some of the best manual tricksters, amateur and professional, battle it out on an original manual pad configuration in an attempt to be crowned 'Manny Champ'
The contest will be run as an open, jam session format. This exciting approach will see talented unknowns pitch their skills against some of the countries best. The competition will have four initial feeder rounds with the top four riders from each session progressing through to the Final in London on 25th October.
UK skater Kris Vile comments: ‘It’s nice to see some creative thinking in the competition scene. Red Bull Manny Mania will give people the chance to bring their Manny skills to the table and show off their skills. I can’t wait.’
The competition, which anyone can enter, will be held in four UK cities. These will be as follows:
LEEDS Saturday 4th October 2008 Saviles Hall, Armouries Drive, Leeds, LS10 1LT (on Clarence Dock opposite The Royal Armouries)
BRIGHTON Saturday 11th October 2008 The Old Flexers Sack Building, Camden Street, Portslade (Behind the Harbours View pub)
BRISTOL Sunday 19th October 2008 St. Paul's Cathedral, Portland Square, Bristol, BS2 8SJ
LONDON Saturday 25th October 2008 York Hall, Old Ford Road, Bethnal Green, London, E2 9PJ
Doors will open at 12pm (midday) and competition will begin at 12:40pm.
Red Bull UK will be working with skater owned company King Ramps to create the manual pad and promote the event. Pete King comments: ‘It’s good to see that Red Bull Manny Mania will be focusing on this aspect of true street skating. This comp will showcase all the shocking talent we have in the UK in this niche element of street skating, which is often overlooked at other competitions.'
Please check out the event myspace for more info.
Both competitors and spectators will need to register at one of the following core stores:
LEEDS Exit
BRIGHTON Route One
BRISTOL 50/50
LONDON Slam City Skates
NO REGISTRATION = NO ENTRY

For the last 20 odd years, Fairfields in Croydon as been a landmark UK spot. Bringing in skaters from all over the UK and further.
Now, after all this time, the council have decided it’s time to go! With fences up, and vans breaking the very slabs that pave this historic spot, it’s time for a last hope attempt at saving Fairfields.
Please, we urge you (and everyone you know, and everyone who knows them) to sign the petition to save Fairfields.
It doesn’t look like there’s much time left, and if we don’t keep it alive, we could lose out to future Shier’s and all the other talent that’s come out of this place!!!
So get signing!

Check out Newton Abbot ‘Decoy’ skatepark due to be finished by Gravity at the end of October 2009, below.
The skatepark is located next to the Decoy BMX trails off Wagon road in Newton Abbot.
The Bowl is 5ft and 7ft deep and has been designed by Marc Churchill and a few others from the area to produce fast flowing bespoke bowl with infinite lines for longevity and challenging sections to keep the experienced and inexperienced chomping at the bit for more.
