Shredenhams Skatepark in Bristol

A qaulity trade show and skate jam in Bristol's indoor skatepark - Shredenhams


A crazy amount of UK skate shops, distributions and skateboarders turned up to Shredenhams in Bristol. Big up Rock Solid Distribution for making it happen ✅


After Debenhams closed all its units and packed up shop, Shredenhams' was born in Bristol: A quality concrete indoor skatepark with a bar, games and pool tables. It's a lot of fun and well-designed!


Sunday's event, presented by the nation's favourite skater, Shaun Currie, was an absolute blast! It was a great opportunity for industry heads to catch up and socialise, as well as for skaters to come, win prizes, and skate the park in its most buzzing state.


The jam could be described as beautiful chaos at times, with bodies and prizes flying all over the place. Go over to Shredenhams' Instagram to see some footage from it!

Bust or Bail: Santa Monica Slamma

Bust or Bail at Santa Monica 3 Block


Thrasher Magazine's Bust or Bail events are the most legendary events ever! This one, held at the legendary Santa Monica triple set, is no exception. Some absolute bangers go down, like too many brain melters to mention. With a nice combo of ABD's and NBD's being thrown down the triple set, it must have been awesome to be there!

Daan Van Der Linden's "Spitfire" Part

Daan Van Der Linden returns with a part for Spitfire Wheels


It's been a minute since I've seen Daan Van Der Linden's long name and quality skateboarding, so I was hyped to see his new part for Spitfire Wheels.


You get a bit of everything with Daan's skating, and I always enjoy his song choices. This part's sick. He's one of the skater's which a lot of the shop locals haven't heard of, but if you know, you know!
