Xscape in Castleford

While visiting the folks over Christmas, thought we'd pop in to the skatepark in Castleford.

Place: Xscape Castleford, Subvert shop

It used to be run by a snowboarding shop, it's now looked after by Subvert.

Check out their stock.

Christmas Crackers

Hey folks its that time again, the stockings hanging under the hearth, cats in the cradle and the silver moon(think thats how it goes)?

The time when you wonder if your list to Santa will be honored- crip new Death thrash board a set of Abec 40's and a Dv of Tony Hawks basic ramp tricks my fill the void in your overly large wish list.

How about a bottle of Sheckler anti-spot a pair of minced trucks and a bite sized edited addition of Cheese and Crackers.

Or perhaps just sittin at home nursing a controller while doing your fav flip on Skate 2 and pulling your pud from the oven.

✧✧Whatever your wish, we at Hooked hope all your seasonal desires come true.✧✧

Now if we put a palm tree over in the back ground, sprinkle a bit of sand about, wear hula skirts and carry a beach towel- no one will notice the snow in this pic.

New Park-Mansfield

Our friends at Maverick Sk8 Park design invited Hooked to their newest creation.
Damn it was cool... so consequently the nipple was fully erect... Ian bones out a melon.

We couldn't believe our luck a window in the weather, as we rolled up to participate in a Maverick promo shoot.

It had been raining throughout the night and with the threat of snow hanging over the venue we thought it was going to be a wash out. As we exited the urban assault vehicle and climbed the brow of Fisher Lane Park hill, the sun cast a crimson ribbon of light on what looked like a park sent from heaven.

Maverick has really out done themselves this time- with what was an originally a state side idea of having multi coloured crete( in this instance natural, red and black) to add an almost gastronomic slant to this small but yummy structure!

With a herb garden in the middle of the park(grow what you will kids) and various blocks, taco, nipple, mini, dining table like granite topped grind slab and some challenging angles, it adds up to a wicked flowing fun filled time for all abilities.

But hey don't take our word for it, go check it!

The Park officially opens tomorrow 22nd Dec. with a ribbon cutting/finger numbing session.

Thanks to Sam Reynolds for this pic.


Thanks to Sam Reynolds for this un... Had to chase the ducks away for the shot!


The park possy on the prowl.

A few expansion cracks have to be filled before the general peeps were allowed to thrash it.


Had a quick piss while no one was lookin... don't think anyone noticed, but couldn't hide the puddle... slam.

Granite grinding table... seconds anyone?


Dave Ford... Rippin in the Mini.

Yep I've tried everything to clean the view finder, Jiff, bleach, emery board, wet an dry!

A monument to the mini goddess!

Ian... On the Drop.

Melons the mini.

Grindage.

360 with ease.

Dave looks on... one foot to fakie.

To blunt or not to blunt that is the fakie... I mean question...

Callum test drives the gap with a flip.(why is the type set bigger for this pic, Blogger fairy havin fun)

Dave's board retired after this.

The Maverick crew Sue and Sam prepare for the video shoot... with the help of the Mansfield Lurkers.

The snow that we expected came... Freezing balls... burrrr.


Rad Dad, endurance test.

Roll up- Maverick takes care of landscaping.

Plaza style shrubbery.

Equipped with the modernist of cons... we enjoyed sweepin the nipple!

Lock, stock and four smokin dogs... huhh?
