London's Ever-Changing Skate Culture | GREETINGS FROM: LONDON

London is a world city and has been a facet of international skateboarding folklore since the days of vert ramps under the walkway at Crystal Palace, through 411 Video Magazine, Static, Palace and right up to this moment in time as a result.
Ever-evolving, the myriad skate scenes of London have in recent times become ever-more diverse and welcoming, while less-than-bohemian property rental prices have seen Zone 6 scenes pop up around individual curbs and Instagram accounts, as both ridiculous and wonderful that sounds.
As well as checking in with some of the best-regarded people at the heart of the capital’s skate communities, we learn about the community DIY spot created in a derelict pub car park in South London and throw a best-trick jam in the unique environs of Bay Sixty6 skatepark underneath the four-lane Westway flyover, which has been keeping London skaters dry since 1997.
Enjoy our snapshot of UK capital’s skate scene as captured when Margie Didal, Jake Wooten and Jamie Foy joined us to session with as many rad locals at as many iconic London spots as we could. London Calling!

Super stoked to see Jake, a kid from A small town in Tennessee traveling the world on his skateboard! Thanks red Bull for making that dream possible! I grew up in a town about 20 minutes away from where Jake was raised and it’s always cool to see somebody from our home state do something big!!

[@HeadspaceSkateboards]

cool doc, nice to see loads of people I now. but the thing about girls skating in London, I know lady's in London that have been skating since 1976 so that lady is very wrong about being the 1st lady skater in London. not at all

[@zoolayuh3637]

[@RealSkateStories]

Love how learning about a unique scene also shows skateboarding's universality. BRAVO 👏🏾

[@Axleslip]

Wholesome content, fuck yeah ❤

[@JOYCEDIVISION]

This series is really good, not really a fan of RedBull videos, but the way these have been made are amazing, top marks 🎉

[@davevrba495]

Nobody's calling SouthBank sk8park the Europian Mecca of Skateboarding.. xDDD Everybody on the world knows that that's Macba in Barca ;))

[@willjohnson2722]

Yeah quite a few comments like that in the video that I don't want to be that guy- and say it. But it's just a fact, Macba is that. To be honest I think London has a scene in spite of the city, which is a credit to the skaters. In spite of the weather, the terrible quality of the pavements and streets, the mercenary money nature of the city.

[@nickielouder5853]

Awesome doc again, can ya come Wisbech, we out here skating the country streets of fenland
