Park Review

Millhouses, Sheffield

"Wow there's a skate park". 

"Where"? 

"Look, there through the trees"

If your travelling on the train from Sheffield to Derby, as you pass through Millhouses station look to the right of the train, did you spot it, yep thats the Park! Situated on 32acres of recreational land, I would have hoped the skate park would have been bigger, but hey at least there is one. 

If your into Blocks this is the place for you,  grind, slide or even sit make a choice you can't avoid them. A flat bank and rail make up the rest of the area, and it wasn't too busy, perfect for a chilled session!

Park Review

In this Green and Pleasant land there is only one green skaters can enjoy, that's Devonshire Green Skate park in Sheffield!

Sheffield's forward thinking council gave the ok to a skate park in the centre of the student quarter in the early part of this century and in 2002 the well loved Park opened to the general public. Featured in numerous photo shoots and film footage, with its blocks and curved vert, this guarantees that there is plenty of life left in this famous park yet. 

Long live the Green!

 If your not up for a skate, its collection of quality Grafs makes it worth a visit! (check some of um in Spray... "Between the lines", above this post)

Spray..."Between the Lines"

Influences of Bill Drummond - the prolific "avant - garde" artist can be found around the city.
If you walk under the Duke Street Bridge towards the back of the Silk Mill, look across to the other side. You'll notice one of his statements.



Imagine waking up tomorrow

and all music has disappeared.

All musical instruments and all forms of recorded music, gone.

A world without music.

What is more, you cannot even remember

what music sounded like or how it was made.

You can only remember that it had existed and that it

had been important to you and your civilisation.

And you long to hear it once more.

Then imagine people coming together to make music

with nothing but their voices, and with no knowledge of

what music should sound like.

Bill brings the "17", [a musical intro] to the new Quad Centre's opening, to Derby soon!

Spray..."Between the Lines"

 Two dudes, Inkfetish and Dibo were commisioned by "Cargo" an East  London Night Club, to do a bit of Sprayin outside their entrance.

A new movie about the culture of the skateboarding scene, it encompasses more than you realize, may prove to be an eye opener.

 Watch out for it!
