If you’re interested in the history of British skating / skate publications, there’s an entertaining interview with ‘Skane’, one-time editor of Skateboard! magazine, on the Slam City site.
“I wanted to tell skateboarders that what they were doing was really important. It really matters. It’s historic and it’s not a sport.”

An excerpt from PP18’s unpublished portrait section.
Too bad this legendary skate spot is now gone. I hadn’t been there in years when I shot this, so it’s good to have a final snapshot of this time and place.
