Winterclash 2009
As most people heard, the original skatepark venue for this year’s Winterclash burned down the day before the event was due to take place. With dozens of competitors and hundreds of spectators coming from all over Europe (and further) Something needed to be done, and the guys really made it happen. I have no idea how they managed it, but the whole event was relocated to the Area 51 skatepark in Eindhoven.

Community Charge?
Many of you may not know but there was a meeting on Tuesday 22/05 where the people who run Clitheroe Skatepark asked the council for permission to start charging kids to get in.
The council will discuss this at their meeting in 8 weeks time.
The park was set up as a community park and we are campaigning to KEEP CLITHEROE SKATEPARK FREE.
please add your thoughts on the UKSkate forums, or on the article above. Please also pass the banner around to make people aware of whats going on.
Boneyard Inline Session tonight!!!
Basically, there is a session at the Boneyard tonight (Friday 30th March) for inline only. Special late opening 7pm – midnight. Get over there!
Winterclash Roundup
We had a full-on mission to get to Winterclash 2007. It started for me on Thursday, when I went straight from work to pick up Laura Huntley, and head over for a preparatory evening at Rampworx skatepark in Liverpool. It didn’t end until I late Sunday when I finally got home having had little sleep and even less nourishment in the intervening days.
Adrenaline Alley
It’s been ages since we visited a new skatepark. John (Goodman) got me on MSN and asked if I wanted to go to Corby. I had completely forgotten that AA was there until that point. Of course I couldn’t turn down a session…
So off we went the next morning. Well, it was about 4pm that we left and a 2 hour drive later we hit the park. It was surprisingly easy to find (with the help of GPS ovbiously). After Me and Joel signed in (John had been before) we went in for a look around…
Video Downloads
Having recently checked the site bandwidth use, it appears there is space to expand. As such there is a trial of video downloads from the site. There will be videos produced by the friends of Urbanlines, some high quality edits and clips from around the world, and also as many trailers I can get hold of.
There are currently limits to who can download, and how much. Only members of the site can download so far, and only 1 download per day. The edits should be worth the wait though, as I’ll try to make sure that they are of high enough quality and length to keep you entertained.
If you see the new section at the top of this page, you can start downloading!
Boneyard Jam Photos
It was a while ago, but there’s quite a few photos from the comps and from the general skating. It was another sick event put on by the guys at Boneyard. More relaxed and inclusive than a lot of the UK comps it’s all about having a fun session at the park.
Personally I was amazed at the level of skating, with the under 13’s group bringing out some amazing skills that show there is a future for the sport in this country. The Open and expert categories stepped up as well with some ridiculous tricks being thrown down. If you missed it this year then make sure you get down there for the next one!
The roundup of Slamm Jamm
Right, the closest thing to an “official” edit has just come out from Paul -jp- Cargill. It is being hosted along with a few other edits and clips from the weekend on Mark “Balmore” Wilson’s site.
An edit from Will Willson including tricks from Brian Aragon and Chaz Sands along with a host of lesser known skaters is available on YouTube.
<update>This just in – A 7 minute monster edit from UKskate.com is available here on YouTube.</update>
