The guys over in Leamington are in the process of setting up a charity in order to provide the town with a decent skatepark (If you’ve been to Newbold Comyn Skatepark, you’ll know that Leamington’s skateboarding facilities are far below average). They’re aiming to get a small park built by Wheelscape, which will replace the... Continue Reading →
The results are in…
We were provided with the results from the survey on offer at the Summer Jam! Some good information; it would seem that everyone is behind the idea of Culture Skatepark providing an indoor facility in Cov (the majority of people said they wanted a new skatepark to be indoors). There was also a demand for... Continue Reading →
What can I say? The Summer Jam is now officially over, and it was awesome. Thanks to all of you who turned up to support Cov Skateboarding - cheers to the BMXers and inliners who represented their own scenes (there weren’t as many of you as I was hoping, but those who showed up had...

The Summer Jam: Session One Reflection
I’m going to be honest with you all here. I joke around on this blog and use silly names for photographers, and continually reference the daftness of skateboarding. But amongst this silliness and unintentional comedy, I have a nugget of thoughtfulness and emotion to bestow. At one point, I questioned, quite heavily, whether the effort... Continue Reading →
Covpark Combat is no more… This is THE SUMMER JAM. 6 days worth of awesomeness, with a temporary skatepark outside the Transport Museum, all paid for and supported by Coventry City Council??!!! It’s like Covpark Combat and the Ride demo collided head on and created the best thing since sliced bread. The 6 days in... Continue Reading →
Ollie Deeley has put together this awesome documentary highlighting the problems with Covpark and why it’s important that it is extended (and repaired). There’s also an interesting interview with a PCSO which raises some points from the council/law enforcement side.
Rather than coming to talk to us as a group directly, and help us push for better facilities in this city, someone has took the time to write a condescending letter of complaint to the Telegraph about us skating outside the Herbert.Do your fellow skateboarders, BMXers and rollerbladers a favour and explain to this person...

Transform Your Patch: Vote for Kenilworth!
Kenilworth have earned the chance to win funding for their skatepark extension! All they have to do is win a public vote for the “Transform your patch” scheme. Obviously you all know you have to vote to make this happen - Kenilworth is so close to Cov that a new skatepark (or extension) to their... Continue Reading →
Transform Your Patch: Kenilworth Skatepark
The direction of park skateboarding….
I don’t often write long, drawn out articles on here, unless it’s related to telling people off for vandalising Memorial Park. However, I’ve had a thought recently, and there may be some truth in it. I’ve always preferred skating at skateparks. If you know me, you will know I’m more at home in a bowl... Continue Reading →
