Harlow Star

AFTER a two-decade campaign for a permanent skate park for Harlow the diggers will finally move in to get the construction wheels in motion tomorrow (Wednesday November 21).

The £300,000 state-of-the-art facility in the Town Park off First Avenue will cover 808sq m, will be fully-flood-lit and 100 per cent covered by CCTV cameras.

End finally in sight for town's skatepark

WHITBY'S long-awaited skate park could be open in time for Easter as a contractor for the project has been found.

The £150,000 project has been five years in the making but now the end is in sight.

Wishing you all a happy new year.

Hope 2008 is a good year for you.

Now go skate!

Starting off as a review of Gus Van Sant’s new film, Paranoid Park, this Guardian UK website story wonders into skate culture film makers including Stacy Peralta and Spike Jonze. The author even brings up Adams, Hosoi and Gator.

This Larry Clark quote is pretty interesting: “There is more life in a skateboarder skating down the street than in a hundred Hollywood actors.”

To celebrate the films release on 26th December, the folk behind it are running a competition giving you chance to win a video camera among other things.
