by adetheterrible BMX/Skate

If you’ve recieved this month’s issue of Sidewalk Skateboarding Magazine, you’ll notice in the DVD review section that Batface has been viewed, consumed and reviewed by the good gents at the mag. If you’re cheap and feel like there’s nothing else in this month’s issue that interests you, I’ve handily scanned in the review for [...]

Winter Sucks

by adetheterrible BMX/Skate

Well winter is well and truly here, if today is anything to go by. The sun was out, by it was so ridiculously cold that even looking outside gave me a chill. Determined to make the most of a day off, I tried to get out for a skate this afternoon. As hard as I [...]

Burton Upon Trent skatepark

by adetheterrible BMX/Skate

Warning: The following blog entry is heavily related to my series of boring editorials about skateparks in Coventry and why they aren’t good enough and why the council should be looking at other areas of the UK for inspiration when it comes to designing parks. If you’re sick and tired of these articles then skip [...]

For this entry into “The Skatepark Situation”, I’m not going to be doing a whole lot of the talking, I’ll leave that up to the skatepark users who have provided their thoughts and views below.

The skatepark situation (Part 2)

by adetheterrible BMX/Skate

In the first part of this ongoing series of editorials, I talked about what it was about the skateparks in Coventry which has lead to them being unsatisfactory for the skaters of the city. As a final word on that article, let me put it this way – imagine if you’d paid money for a [...]

The skatepark situation (Part 1)

Faceplant Skateboards presents “666″

by adetheterrible BMX/Skate

Here’s an interesting concept… a skateboard video which is 7 minutes and 6 seconds long… or 666 seconds long if you’ve not figured out the link between the name of Swampy’s new skate video and the length of the video.
