/// News: Boneyard Website & Promo ///

Just got this email from Jon Edwards (of Dig/Naive/Trail Kill fame!):

Hey Chris,

I know yourself and Valleyside have supported the Boneyard over the years. The place has gone through a lot of changes of late, all for the better and continues to improve and support all locally.

Just wondered if it would be possible to mention they have a new website up over at: http://boneyardskatepark.co.uk/ and a new promo video, shot by Andrew Lawrence: http://vimeo.com/36230655

Hope your well!

Kind Regards

Jon Edwards” …

Photos: The Rebel Jam/ Park Qualifiers, etc >>>

For most people ‘Park’ was the highlight of the recent Rebel Jam over in Eidenhoven – The level of riding was incredible! Riders like Alex Kennedy left the crowd hyped with the latest street moves, whilst riders like Harry Main left the crowd speechless with moves like the ‘bunnyhop flair drop-in’ (off sub!). After the riding was finished a killer party went-off, thanks to electrical treats from the Disco Dogs and other assorted turntablists.

I’m opening this one with an apology to my homies on the flatland circuit – It’s taken a little longer than usual to upload the photos due to technical issues on my laptop! But better late than never! For anyone who missed the Rebel Jam (2011), the level of riding in general was amazing – Flatland was no different! The images here were captured on a ‘Nokia N8′; and were captured during the practice sessions! Hit read more to peek over fifty flatland photos – VS
