Welcome to Skatepark Pages - The Essential Guide to Skateparks
Skateparkpages was set up by Dan and Alex in 2004 to provide the UK with a practical guide to as many skateparks as we could find. Since then we have evolved into a comprehensive database complete with photos of heroes such as Tony Hawk, Matt Hoffman, Duane Peters and many, many others. We now find ourselves diversifying into the realms of the moving image, welcoming input from various videographers as well as covering some of the UK's best events. If you think you'd like to contrbute then drop us a line.
Why do we do it? Well thats easy, for the endless possibilities of meeting like minded skaters/ BMXers, taking the opportunity to document their talents and being able to share our results with whoever might be interested. We're always being blown away by the progression of these sports, we want to promote these hardcore sports long into the future so that others can benefit like we have. So if you're planning a road trip why not check us out at www.skateparkpages.com and pick up details of parks on your journey. Even better, send us your photos/ vids and stories of your mission. If we like em we'll publish em and you could reach 50 000 people a month from all over the globe. If you're a skatepark owner then we definately want to hear from you, or if you're looking to set up a park somewhere. Give us a shout and we'll include you in an expanding resource dedicated to the progression of the humble skatepark.

For a preview of the forthcoming single Undead out May 4th click hereBioHollywood Undead aren't your standard rap or rock crew. The mask-welding group bring something fresh, dangerous, funny and alive to the music scene.
The Californian band’s debut album 'Swan Songs' is out May 18th through A&M/Octone Records with production credits by Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails) and Don Gilmore (Linkin Park). On their debut album they've concocted an explosive cocktail of hip hop, rock and metal; think Eminem meets Slipknot.
Hollywood Undead's sound cuts with a distinct hip hop swagger and a brooding, hard rock aggression. Group member Deuce bursts out the melodies, Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog and Charlie Scene lead the lyrical charge, while Funny Man drops the rhymes and Da Kurlzz hypes the fray.
'Swan Songs' is an album full of incisive, sharp and sarcastic raps which slash the jugular of mainstream pop culture. The band’s debut single and album opener 'Undead' which is released May 4th sets the tone, firing off a big melody and buoyant beats. The video for the energetic track was directed by Jonas Akerlund (also responsible for the Prodigy’s ‘Smack My Bitch Up’) and has clocked over two million views on YouTube. The track is also being used on the new GI Joe film trailer which will be released this summer.
Other tracks on the album include 'No.5' which dissects the frivolities of Hollywood with witty, catchy choruses while another track 'Los Angeles' examines their hometown's evil edge.
J-Dog describes their sound best: "It's different genres mixed together with no holds barred. The rap songs are straight-up club songs and the rock songs are in your face and industrial. It's a collaboration of six people with different thoughts coming together and not holding back."
Hollywood Undead will be supporting The Blackout throughout May, plus they’ll be playing the main stage at Download on Friday 12th June.
