This piece - commisioned by Wheelscape Skateparks - explores why skateparks are a good idea, why community consultation is so important and why free-form construction is the only way to build the next generation of skateparks in the UK.
The UK has their first ever winner of an Xgames skate contest!!! Yesterday 31st July in LA history was made for the second time this year for the Uk Vert scene.
Sam Bosworth for Cornwall became the winner of Xgames Vert 2009. Second place was Sam Beckett also for the UK and in 3rd place Pedro Barros from Brazil. What seems like a close fought out contest the UK guys came out on top.
I’m sure you will all agree this is a well deserved result for Both the Sam’s who have blown up like rockets in the last few years.
As they now head home straight for Boardmasters in Newquay this will make next weekend even more exciting. ...And to top it off Alex Perleson is also heading for Newquay and stands a good chance of winning Xgames Pro tomorrow .
Boardmasters this year looks like it will be one of the best we have ever seen.
