Skateboard GB

New bid for an indoor Olympic Sized Skateboard Venue! As Bradford prepares to become the 2025 City of Culture, the national charity that campaigns to protect Britain’s modern architecture looks to produce an ambitious new proposal titled ‘The Dunn’ for the abandoned leisure centre in the city. ‘The Dunn’ would be a first of its kind, a permanent indoor and outdoor Olympic-level skateboarding facility in the UK. This project will not only cater for elite-level athletes but will also have a community focus in all action sports, as well as creative spaces to help support the wider culture in photography, video production and more.

The Skateboard GB x Subway 'Wolves Street Jam' was a great success on Saturday, with a skateboard takeover in Wolverhampton City Centre. We transformed Bell Square into a pop-up skatepark and it was an absolute pleasure to do this alongside Community First Initiative and The City of Wolverhampton Council, with thanks to King Ramps for the mobile skatepark elements. We were able to introduce the wonderful world of skateboarding to hundreds of local young people and families through free coaching sessions delivered by Let's Go Skate. We also had the incomparable 'K8 The Frog' on hand to show how used skateboards can be transformed into permanent pieces of wall art through the magic of spray paint and stencils. Jon Blades was there throughout the day to take these awesome photos. And we couldn't forget the big local legends of the West Midlands skate scene who turned up, grafted, and showed the public what it's all about, with Chris Emery on filming duties and local legend, Bob Sanderson hyping us up all day on the mic. A massive thank you to Jamie at OG Dist for supporting the event with prizes and Breaking GB for delivering workshops for budding break dancers all day.

All eyes on Skateboarding! 🤩 Last week, we witnessed skateboarding thrown into the homes of millions as the Olympics provides a platform to show everyone how amazing it really is. The British skateboarders were a huge part of this, showing the world that GB skateboarding is at the top level. More importantly, our skaters showed that having fun was equally as important. Thank you, Sky, Andy & Lola, for showing the world what skateboarding is truly about. What was your favourite moment from the games? 📸 Garry Jones Team GB | UK Sport | World Skate | International Olympic Committee – IOC | Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024
