Go Skateboarding Day 2008

April 23, 2008 at 2:19 pm · Filed under Byelaws, Central Skatepark, Events, Go Skateboarding Day 2008, Manchester, NOTE Shop, Pump Cage, Skate Jam, SkateMCR, Urbis, Video

This year’s Go Skateboarding Day is fast approaching (it’s June 21st in case you didn’t know). And this year SkateMCR is planning to organise another protest skate at URBIS.

Last year it got rained off - see the SkateMCR video of last year’s Go Skateboarding Day below.

Go Skateboarding Day 2008 is set to be a big one in Manchester because the Vans team are coming here for the day! Their team includes Kris Vile, Danny Wainwright, Ross McGouran and local boy Ben Grove.

Their plan is to have a pump aroung the Projekts Skatepark from noon - 3pm, then sign stuff at the NOTE shop from 4 - 5pm, street skate from 5 - 8pm, then finish off with a Jam at Central Skatepark from 8pm onwards where there will be bands and some “special guests”!

The SkateMCR Protest will be at URBIS from 6pm - 8pm so the Vans team should be able to come and skate with everyone at the best spot in town. The protest will be about the byelaws which ban skateboarding in Manchester’s City Centre. See the byelaws here and sign the petition to get rid of them here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SkateMCR/

See the Vans website for more info. Here’s their poster:

And here’s the video from last year:

everyone Premiere For Under 18’s

December 13, 2007 at 4:01 pm · Filed under Events, Manchester, NOTE Shop, Premiere, Video

Although loads of people turned up for the Premiere od Dan Cintra’s new film “everyone”, not everyone got in ‘cos they didn’t have ID’s or were just under 18!

But, all is not lost! Dan is hosting the Under 18’s Premiere of “everyone” at the NOTE shop on Sat 15th Dec at 2pm!

It’s a great little film, so make sure you’re there, it’s likely that you’re in the film due to it’s title!
