Tickets for the UKSA National Championships go on sale as of this morning.  

Advance weekend tickets are £16 and are available directly from Adrenaline Alley skatepark over the phone or in person at the park itself.

We strongly suggest buying tickets in advance as it is looking likely that the venue will be at capacity.

Brighton skateboarders and Nancy Platt, who is standing as Labour’s parliamentary candidate in Brighton, are arranging a campaign photo at The Level on Monday 18th August at 1pm to help speed up plans for a new concrete skatepark at The Level.

The existing park is heavily worn and has been in need of replacement for several years. Plans for a new skatepark have been ‘in the pipeline’ since 2002, but now local skaters tired of waiting are taking it upon themselves to make their voice heard and help to speed up the process.

The Level has a long skateboarding history dating back to the late 70’s, but over the past decade has suffered from a lack of investment and has been poorly maintained. The hugely popular mini ramp was removed due to rot in 2003 and has not been replaced, along with the driveway’s flat rail which was removed as police evidence after a local skater got stabbed!

The photo is being taken to demonstrate the amount of support for the new skatepark plans and organisers of the event hope to generate publicity in local media to generate further support.

Organiser Jack Forester said “If you live locally, please come down and show your support for the plans. You’ll also get the opportunity to express your opinion about the project and get your mug in the paper!”
