Congrats to Aaron Sweeney!!
‘Aaron is without doubt one of the most exciting and unpredictable skaters you could ever hope to see. Once you seem him twitching nervously you know something special is about to happen! Myself and the rest of the team are stoked to have him on board.’ - Nic Powley, UK Skate Team Manager

I recieved a message from Darren Kelly yesterday (the fella taking care of calls for a large city centre based skatepark in Liverpool):
Hi Claire,
Please publicise on your website Liverpool City Council’s consultation to see if the young people of Liverpool want a skate park.

The éS Euro Team hit the UK for a mini tour this weekend, with stops at Harlow, Saffron Waldon, Crawley and Leeds respectively.
Not only have they launched a spanking new website, but Lakai have also been kind enough to upload Fully Flared, too!
So for those of you who haven’t seen it (if you exist) or those who have loaned a mate their copy and haven’t had it back yet, check out the site.
They also have a new series of shoes out. The ‘Election’ series.
Mike Carrol’s pack is looking pretty cool.

The 2008 Girls Skate Jam held at Pioneer Skatepark will be on Saturday 14th June. More information will be posted as and when we’re told!
Check out last year’s event whilst you wait…
Crimson Skateboards, Inc. and Kris Markovich have decided to part ways under amicable terms. Sam Uisprapassorn, part owner of Crimson Skateboards stated that the parties agreed to go their separate ways after disagreements developed over the operations and direction of the company.
“I wish Kris and his team all the best in the future, but it was time for us to go our separate ways.” stated Uisprapassorn. Crimson Skateboards will continue to be distributed by Arthouse Skateboard Distribution, Inc.
If you read Whispers you’ll already know about this, but here’s the official release:
As from today, Arto Saari is no longer riding for Flip Skateboards, and has found a new home at Alien Workshop.
Everyone at Flip wishes Arto the best for his future with the Burton family, and are in total support of this move for him.
“Arto is like a brother to me. After years of being on the same team with the same goals it was time for him to move on. We remain the best of friends and will continue to skate together probably harder and probably more so than ever!!! I wish him all the best and as a brother, I shall always have his back”

Ahhh, the one day every year skateboarders across the globe look forward to. Luckily, it’s a saturday this year. No excuse not to grab the deck and shred.
For the UK this year, Vans have taken it upon themselves to organise a Jam based in Manchester.
Here’s what they had to say:
“Vans will be leading the celebrations on the on 21st June for Go Skateboarding Day with a team jam in Manchester. Stretching across the two famous Manchester skate parks, the likes of Kris Vile, Danny Wainwright, Ross McGouran and Ben Grove will be hitting up Projekts skate park then riding through the city to Central skate park. All topped off with a music jam within the park, featuring special music guests, to take the antics well into the night”
See you there!!
