Bugs, errors, glitches… Expect all of this and more as we roll out a new site design in bits and pieces as it is evolving, instead of completing it all at once like a sane person would.

Skateboard City Bolton
The UK had some funky, janky skateparks in the 70’s. The best skatepark builders were clearly located in the US, but they also had their share of janky parks. Some of the UK parks were in a class of their own when it comes to jank. A post from Ian Ward about Bolton’s Skateboard City came up in my feed from Lost & Found, a group for the old 1970’s concrete skateparks in the UK. It was an indoor skatepark that opened in 1978 and allegedly lasted until 1982 when it abruptly closed and the building was demolished. You’d think there’d be more pictures out there for a skatepark that was open for 5-6 years, but there just isn’t a lot out there.
