Spine Crime - Irish Mini Ramp Video Session

Just a couple of days ago I received one of the many videos in the Europeskate mailbox – this one did make me sit down and watch it twice as the amount of board wizardry going down in this spine mini-ramp is just plain mad! It turns out that Brian Corscadden has this beauty of a spine ramp in his backyard somewhere in Ireland and he rips it along with Cian Eades, Brian Esmonde and Gav Coughlan.

The city of Belfast in Ireland are gearing up to build what looks to be a great skatepark – watch the CAD impressions of what’s going to be built. With a smooth looking bowl shape and extended street possibilities under a bridge, looks like Belfast is going to have a nice winter season ahead!

Kings of Concrete 2008

Finally getting some news in here from other parts of Europe – I’m working towards covering more of the countries over here in the near future anyway. The guys from Wreckless skate shop over in Ireland sent over this info about the Kings Of Concrete taking place this upcoming weekend:

Kings Of Concrete is back Bigger than ever this year: Two days of Urban Flavor July 26th/27th Wood Quay Civic Buildings.

Kings of concrete events are a fusion of urban sports, music and street art. Its a gathering of like-minded people, in essence a collaboration of skaters, BMX’ers, bladers, artists, musicians & generally groovy folk. Everyone is welcome to come along & participate in the fun or just relax and enjoy the spectacle.

There are ramp competitions for skating, blading, BMX”ing as well as a break dancing comp, an Ollie comp, a game of skate, hackysack & loads of free giveaways on the day. The weird, wonderful & colorful backdrop is provided compliments of a number of graffiti artists working on various pieces throughout the duration of the event. The Beats are provided by a combination of live acts & Dj”s. Including Electronic act Lectrosoul. And Choice Cuts Dj”s who laid down The Beats For the Day. These events are aimed at a wide audience & are family friendly.

Boarderco/Fiverz Ireland skate tour dates

June 4th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

I haven’t published very much about Ireland on Europeskate which is strange or maybe it has just slipped through my fingers. Whatever the reason Ireland has a lot of quality skaters, good parks and some companies supporting the scene.

Wayne Gallagher is the man behind Boarderco and Fivarz is a relatively new wheel company out of Ireland. Support your locals and make sure you check out the tour, always a good bit of fun.
