This rooftop sculpture, The Brooklyn Griffin, was built by two British artists, Jimmy Bumble and Leonard White. They made it so this menacing beasts’ head sways and dips when a wooden rudder in the rear catches the wind. It’s about 9 ft tall and seems to be made of wooden pallets and skateboard decks among other things.
Don’t miss the 13/14th november!!!
X-Site Skatepark will be playing home to the third annual UKSA National Mini Ramp Champs.
We’re stoked to announce that Feral Inc. Skateboards has teamed up with Flexdex in the USA to bring their revolutionary range of longboards to the UK exclusively dual-branded as Feral Inc. Flexdex!
In a world of de-laming, snapping, stress-cracking and wooden longboards, Flexdex’s next generation patented material is king. The decks are both indestructible and more responsive than any other longboard deck, anywhere and come guaranteed for life! Check them out here!
Designer Beto Janz customized used and broken decks, using the decks to produce skulls. Stickers with the brand and the address of the new stores were applied to them and they were left on streets nearby main skateboard places around Curitiba/Brasil – Therefore, anyone who finds them, gets them.
An “underground” way of promoting the store.

Japanese wood sculptor Haroshi specializes in creating three-dimensional art pieces from used and broken skateboard decks.
Although Haroshi uses one type of material for his art, skate decks vary widely in size and structure depending on the factory, brand and model. in creating his sculptures, he filters through thousands of old decks and individually picks out the perfect board to use. after they are stacked, cut and shaved to form, they are painted and polished to a candy-like finish.
Not available to the outside observer is another one of Haroshi’s artistic details. during construction, each sculpture is given a “soul”, a broken metal skateboard piece that is laid in the core of the piece. Unkei, a 12th century japanese buddha sculptor, had a similar practice of including a crystal ball in his statues as the “soul” of the buddha.
