Domain Halloween Jam

The Domain Skatepark in Saltash held their annual Halloween Jam last night. The dress code was 'very fancy dress' and most lived up to this, including us as happy hardcore ravers! The place was going off with loads of stuff I'd never seen done there before, and overall there was a great fun atmosphere.

Have a look at our video of the proceedings:

I've been taking loads of photos recently; first time I've ever gone through two rolls of film in a month:

Sheffieldian Snaps

A few photos from our visit to The House a couple of weeks ago:

I'm quite happy with the flash exposure but think I misjudged how wide an angle I can get from my lens.

A couple of sights from the trip:

Hayle and Newquay

Yesterday we took one last trip before Rob returns to university, to Hayle and Newquay in Cornwall. Hayle has a new outdoor concrete skatepark, similar to the one in Penzance, and just as gnarly. The outdoor park in Newquay is now free to use and helmet-free, and is worth a visit just for the nice hipped mini ramp.

Stoke Plaza / The House / The Works

Rob, Jambo, Patrick and myself went to the above parks this weekend.
First up was Stoke Plaza, which quite simply is probably the best outdoor park I've ever been to (sorry Jay). It's so good in fact that we didn't get any photos or video (no-one wanted to stop skating to get behind the camera).

After a few hours at Stoke we got rained out and so headed to Sheffield to skate indoor park The House which was much less hectic than the plaza, and everyone had a good skate. I took some photos which you'll probably see in about two months knowing me.

The next day we headed to Leeds to skate The Works skatepark which is probably the best indoor park I've ever been to (sorry again Jay, and sorry for the superlatives, although I feel they're justified). 'The Strip' which runs the whole length of the park is fun embodied in wooden form.

Here are few photos from Rob at The Works:
