There are 2 driveways, hubbas, low rails, a wembley gap plus loads of other stuff. On the 18th November, Big Woody’s Skateboard Shop hosted “Wheel of Skate”. Sponsors included: Vans, Deadman Skateboards, DC Shoes – plus loads of others. Based around television’s Wheel of Fortune game, skaters were required to complete tricks to get through rounds to stay in the game or be knocked out.

There are some mega-interesting and exciting events happening that you should attend. For skaters, you should definitely be taking advantage of the “no scooter” policy duuuuuude.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1315″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

Young dude in the second pic was bouncing all over when beastie boys dropped 😉
They’re great action shots aren’t they? Claire Griffiths is one hell of a talented photographer.
