Ilka's Journey | 'Skate Like a Girl' Documentary

“I can not imagine my life without skateboarding.”

Last year, a film crew followed Ilka Rogers on her journey to her first-ever National Championships, featuring appearances from pro skateboarders Jordan Thackeray and Lucy Adams, Geoff Else at Camp Rubicon, SBGB Hub Coach Hector Barnett, and many more. Facing challenges head-on, Ilka rightly earned her place on the podium.

London's Ever-Changing Skate Culture | GREETINGS FROM: LONDON

London is a world city and has been a facet of international skateboarding folklore since the days of vert ramps under the walkway at Crystal Palace, through 411 Video Magazine, Static, Palace and right up to this moment in time as a result.

Ever-evolving, the myriad skate scenes of London have in recent times become ever-more diverse and welcoming, while less-than-bohemian property rental prices have seen Zone 6 scenes pop up around individual curbs and Instagram accounts, as both ridiculous and wonderful that sounds.

As well as checking in with some of the best-regarded people at the heart of the capital’s skate communities, we learn about the community DIY spot created in a derelict pub car park in South London and throw a best-trick jam in the unique environs of Bay Sixty6 skatepark underneath the four-lane Westway flyover, which has been keeping London skaters dry since 1997.

Enjoy our snapshot of UK capital’s skate scene as captured when Margie Didal, Jake Wooten and Jamie Foy joined us to session with as many rad locals at as many iconic London spots as we could. London Calling!

Pipeline Project - UK Skateboard Talent Pathway

Last month we caught up with our very own Lucy Adams at BaySixty6 to discuss all things Pipeline Pilot Project! With a first look at some of those involved and big questions answered around what the project will entail.

Lucy has worked tirelessly on getting the program up and running on behalf of SkateboardGB, with the help of UK Sport funding. We can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she has put into making this pathway happen!

A big thank you to Hector Barnett and all the Hub skateboarders for coming down, talking with us and absolutely killing it.

Featuring: Lucy Adams, Hector Barnett, James White, Evan Johnson, Josie Millard, George Bartholomew, Zaynab Miah, Paige Bassom, Jamie Manning & Rio O'Byrne.
