One of the few original Seventies-era skate parks in north London is to get three new ramps and repairs in a £50,000 overhaul.
The improvements this month will allow the 120 skateboarders, roller skaters and BMX-ers who gather at Harrow Skate Park each week to carry out ever more spectacular jumps.
BMX bike enthusiast James Hitchcox said: “The skate park in Harrow is unique because it was hand-sculpted. That makes it much more challenging.”
Will be finish around the end of april and celebrating with an bmx / skate jam.
Sam Barrow just posted up a few clips of Sputnic’s Andy Hall on the DIG site.
Andy is taking a break from riding at the moment due to an ACL injury he sustained in Florida last year.
Kind of Related:
Myself, Andy and Dayson are currently giving out advice on all matters of ACL injuries and surgeries. We don’t really have a formal office at the moment but if you pop down the pub I’m sure we can arrange an appointment.
It’s finally done and dusted and ready for your eyes!

This is the very first of the FFWD web series of ‘Speak For Yourself’ (S4Y).
S4Y is a totally unscripted interview, none of the typical ‘BMX questions’ everyone is so bored of hearing;
The idea is to sit a rider down infront of a camera, and just have a conversation with a bunch of friends with the aim of really getting the best out of someone.
Over the coming months FFWD will be doing several more of these interviews, with some highly recognisable names from within the BMX industry.
First up, is Mankind, ZEAL and Rockstar’s Isaac Lesser, who in the last year, has made a strong name for himself, not only for being the friendliest guy in the UK BMX scene, but for his undeniable talent on a BMX.
Isaac got second place last year at the ‘Simpel Summer Session’ to Daniel Dhers, and is the only rider doing consistent barspin to hang 5’s.
We shot this on our final night in Estonia for the ‘Simpel Session’, just before we went to the after party, maybe this wasn’t the best of times to shoot an interview, but here’s a little insight into the mind of Isaac Lesser, as he gets in a few drinks…
Watford, North London is home to some of the nicest riders to come out of London.
With what is far from a decent skatepark, it is beyond me how such a place has spawned such an array of talented riders.
We spent an afternoon hanging with some of the locals; with a brief interruption of rain, we headed into town to session a curved ledge untill the park was dry enough to sneak in a few more clips before the sun went down.
I missed a few names, but the main three riders you’ll see are Pete Briton, Jason C Earnscliffe and ZEAL’s new boy, Akin Hercules-Walker.
