I hope your break does the trick... see you at the next one ...
Well bugger me, I might be able to make this!!!
### WHEELS AND FINS CANCELLED ###
Get your name down if you want to skate at Wheels and Fins 7th - 8th September. Get in touch with them for further details...
***
FREE entry and camping for competitors.

Their Facebook just said it’s cancelled
What's going on nic?
More @four.dgrip prizes to come @mounthawke comp next month 😀😀😀
Awesomeness 😍
Work cracking on at Brum HQ.
Is it the skatelite from Corby?
Hmmmmm that skatelite looks familiar. One man's poison and all that.
The current state of things... 2 comps left - Mount Hawke Vert Jam and Blockless Combat. Remember that Blockless Combat in Birmingham will be a 2 DAY EVENT! It will likely be heats on Saturday and finals on Sunday and will be epic!
If you've been hiding under a rock, a reminder that Corby is cancelled due to the vert ramp going missing. I'm sure no one would have taken it down intentionally because that would be stupid.
What!!? Where’s the Corby vert gone!!?😂😂 does anyone know what they’ve done with the templates? Could use them to extend Hawke!!
Even more stupid if they didn't actually have the money to replace it with something else that customers coukd ride. Oh wait...
See you later St Neots 😥😥😥
Nice bongo
Gutted, a 4hr round trip (not as far as some) but good to see some old skate buddies
Bollards!!
Sorry to rub it in 🙄🤭 but we had a good session of Vert this afternoon in the Southsea sunshine !!!!
😩
Typical Brit weather! 👎
Bloody rain
R u going to brum
Banners up, ramp drying, fingers crossed!
@enuffskateboards @rekdprotection @pigcity_skates @fortyskateboardco
Getting dry and not raining at the moment!
Yes I'm on my way x
Good luck guys we’re gonna give it a miss
Anyone going to brum
Baz Keen Dan Keen
Steven Kirkby it was called off any way
We've got a massive pile of rad gear courtesy of @enuffskateboards and @rekdprotection to provide prizes down to eighth along with our other sponsors @pigcity_skates @hoax1994 @fortyskateboardco @speedlabwheels @sesh_uk @manifest_skateboards @keepingvertdead @four.dgrip
Yes you read it right! Game on! The comp is running as planned at St Neots. If it rains it looks like it will be light and we'll have a mob with towels at hand. If we have to cut short, we'll use heat scores. Fingers crossed the Met office is right and it's just overcast!
🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️🌥️
Yes yes yes yes yes. See you tomorrow 🙂
Yeah Lee Blackwell I only skated with Steve at Peterborough on a Thursday evening but always had a word and such a nice bloke and some fluid mini ramp moves!
I think this is rad simply because last year was rained off, for a lot of people that come it’s not just about the skating but remembering someone we loved and lost so just being there on his grounds together means a lot ❤️ Steve Bayless❤️🛹🛹🛹
As usual, the weather is not making it easy for us. Met office say OK, everyone else saying rain. May be an improving picture though and the rain is light so we're gonna give it a little while until we make a decision.
If you're traveling, the backup is a jam in Birmingham as its a central location so it'll still be worth coming! It won't be scored in the series but we might have a couple of prizes we can use.
⚠️⚠️⚠️NOTE: Vans have failed to send prizes (again) so we are a bit short 😢
Can't decide wether to drive up or not! Eeeeek
Ffs
Both sound loads of fun
🙃
Birmingham is central but not the easiest or fastest for everyone to get to at all that’s why I said caterham. It’s max of 2-3hrs for everybody obviously not Cornwall. Creation gets picked Cos all you guys live inside an hour even half hour from it 😂 Skaterham is the easiest if we are thinking of everyone. Plus it be good to put money into them as well as it’s needed. ( and I’m not saying that Cos I skate it Cos just lately I skip skating it as it’s been doing my head in lol it’s also 2hrs min drive lol)
Me and George O'Neill are on are way .
Any update please? St Neots I'm coming, brum no go so need to know ASAP
Met office say weather is shifting for the better. Also it sounds like decision was made on it already as I herd people started to head to Birmingham this morning.
Warning is only until lunchtime x
Is it Brum on Sunday
Weather is uncertain but the comp is STILL ON until we say otherwise. Check back here Saturday lunchtime... 👍
BACK UP PLAN is a non scoring jam at Creation in Brum.
St. Neots old ramp was the first vert ramp I skated in the U.K. Good Luck!
Any news? Xx
Summer vibes in the park again this year at St Neots on Sunday 28th July. We've bribed the met office this time so the weather will be perfect! See you there!

Sorry for the delay, busy week! (results below)
Thanks to everyone who turned up to Southsea Skatepark despite the dodgy weather forecast for an epic weekend of shredding. Much love to all those who helped out with judging, MC-ing, photo-snapping, media-streaming, ramp-drying, coffee-buying, sticker-sticking, banner-hanging and skatepark-running 😅👊
And also a huge thanks to our sponsors for keeping us in prizes! Vans, Pig City Skates, Four.Dgrip, SCUK, Keeping Vert Dead, Emo Skates, SESH, Speedlab Wheels, Manifest Skateboards, Forty Skateboard Co, HOAX, Bored of Southsea, The Skateboarding Show, UNREEL
