“Skateboarding gives Palestinians this moment of escape in the midst of colonial violence from the Israeli régime. For that hour or two with your friends, you’re free. You can build a crew and have that process of creating together, as opposed to being fragmented and ripped apart in the way that the occupation tries to do to us psychically. But none of us were skating during this uprising.”
Testing placing some poles around for Natas spins, feeling pretty good already for a first pass. Got a list of things to add for second pass functionality later.

Treasure trove of cool skate #photography.
Quick morning feature before work. Got Natas spins into the game. Uses a single point curve for the grind spline and bypasses grind movement logic but uses the balance logic so it came together pretty quickly. Still need to add appropriate trick naming and scoring for it.

World Skate puts brakes on #skateboarding's preteen movement with new age limits -
« The minimum age of 11 this year will be raised one year each in 2026, 2027 and 2028 so that when the LA #Olympics roll around in 2028, the minimum age will be 14. »

New image reveals ‘street plaza’ skateboard park plans for Swansea’s Victoria Park
Swansea Council say they will soon be advertising for a contractor to carry out the improvement works at the area of the park where the skate ramp is currently located.
The design follows consultation with skateboarders, fans of other wheel sports and local residents where hundreds of views were taken on board.
Working with experts at Curve Studio, the council says the improvement is part of a £2.8m investment in wheel sports facilities across the city.
It’s anticipated work will start at Victoria Park in August and be finished by the end of the year.
The council says that all other areas of the park will be unaffected by the improvements.
Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: “We want to make Swansea one of the UK’s best destinations for outdoor sports and recreation, including skateboarding and other wheel sports, to meet the needs and aspirations of the community and for our young people – our possible future Olympians.
“It’s why an investment worth close to £3m is now ongoing throughout the city that means people in most parts of Swansea won’t have to travel more than two miles to reach an improved facility.
“Our partners at Curve Studio have a proven track record in delivering high-quality wheel sports facilities elsewhere in the UK and beyond.
“The work planned for Victoria Park is among many similar projects which are either complete or in the pipeline for the near future.”
Upgraded neighbourhood skate parks are now available for use at both Coed Bach Park in Pontarddulais and Parc Melin Mynach in Gorseinon.
Other sites already announced for neighbourhood skate park improvements include Mynydd Newydd in Penlan and the Phoenix Centre in Townhill.
There are also plans for a new pump track for novice and junior BMXers at Melin Mynach and the existing pump track at Clyne Valley will be undergoing a refurbishment.
Consultation is ongoing for an improved skate park in Ynystawe, a small cycling facility in Blaenymaes, a BMX focussed facility in Gowerton and a pump track in Bishopston.
The council says that details on other sites to benefit will be announced in due course.
The overall investment includes funding from ward members, the community investment fund, community and town councils, and the Welsh Government through an active travel grant.

World-first skateboard aid helps 12-year-old Ollie who was ‘desperate to skate’
The harnessing system was revealed on the latest leg of Relay Your Way, a mass participation relay across Scotland, England, and Wales involving more than 9,000 school children, participants, and supporters.
Cerebra, the national UK charity dedicated to supporting children who have a neurological condition, created Relay Your Way to promote inclusivity in sports and ensure that no child is left on the sidelines. Over 33 days, from Glasgow to Windsor, the baton will journey through towns and cities, bringing together thousands of people in a celebration of accessibility, adventure and inclusion.
Cerebra’s Innovation Centre, which designs bespoke products to help disabled children discover and engage with the world around them, revealed its new system to help children with reduced mobility take part in park skating at Exist Skatepark on Sunday 22 June, as Relay Your Way made its way through Swansea.
Ollie, 12, inspired the creation of the new system after his mum approached Cerebra searching for a solution to help him give skating a try. Ollie has Down Syndrome and some challenges with his balance that can make using a skateboard more difficult.
“Ollie had been absolutely desperate to try skateboarding but he had a few issues with balance that meant a regular skateboard just wasn’t suitable,” Ollie’s mum Jilly said.
“I contacted Cerebra and they developed a board that has two handles for him so he can push off, hold himself up and do it himself now.”
Ollie has been using his new skateboard regularly, but the team at Cerebra felt they could develop another adaptation around park skating. The result is a first of its kind harness system which incorporates a gantry fitted above the park’s obstacles and ramps.
Some of Ollie’s mental health challenges stem from the trauma of sadly losing his sister, Lily, who also had Down Syndrome, a month before her tenth birthday in May 2019. Jilly says Ollie now has increased anxiety but taking part in sport helps him engage with others, socialise and keep fit. He now plays for a rugby team as well as making trips out on his skateboard.
“When my daughter was alive we had one of Cerebra’s oxygen trolleys,” Jilly said. “I’m just so grateful that they do this sort of thing to help children and parents.”
Jilly, Dr Ross Head (Cerebra), Kate Leonard (Exist), Ric Cartwright (Exist), and OllieOllie skating on the harness with Dr Ross HeadThe Exist Skatepark harness systemDr Ross Head, Cerebra Innovation Centre Lead, said: “We wanted to enable Ollie to go skateboarding, but importantly, we wanted him to skate with other children and on equipment that looks the same as theirs. The gantry system was a huge undertaking, but we were confident that Ollie and many other children will be able to learn to skate and enjoy the comradery of the skatepark.
“Adaptive skateboarding will enable Ollie to learn a new sport, make friends and exercise – some really important aspects for living a healthy life and improving wellbeing.”
Kate Leonard, Exist Skatepark owner, said: “Exist skatepark is absolutely delighted to be a part of Cerebra’s new inclusive innovation.
“This isn’t just good news for our skatepark, it’s good news for accessibility, inclusivity, Wales and the sport of skateboarding as a whole. We are honoured to be a part of this journey and cannot wait to see how it impacts the landscape of skateboarding and the children, young people and communities who will benefit from it.”

Added screenshot capture to the flycam mode. I'll do a little bit of hud for controls and camera snap and hide them at the moment of capture. Using L3 to take screenshot in flycam mode for now and saving to a "Screenshots" folder. Works with the exported executable.

Added fly cam today. Mostly for debugging, but I'll leave it accessible in game to fly and drop the skater anywhere for convenience and for screenshot mode.

@copysent Thanks for your messages. Yes, #skateboarding is inclusive and everyone is welcome. I fully agree. I also fully agree that most contemporary skateboarders think like that and appreciate everyone independently of gender, origin, or anyth. else.
However, it is also the case that there are many reports, articles, movies, interviews that there was (and to a much lesser extent is) sexism & machoism in skateboarding and the skate industry. Denying that doesn't help us. Inclusive future!
2/ Wanted this mechanic in game because it’s fundamentally core to skateboarding and missing in most games.
I still don’t have vert skating in the game because it’s a lower priority to me. Literally no one skates vert, but everyone skates curbs and ledges.
Not trying to be real sim here, the goal is arcade control, but covering every detailed skateboard mechanic (especially what other games miss) is important to me.
@northlove152 Thanks for the #skateboarding video clip, BUT why do you use a content warning on this video clip? I see a female #skateboarder in a #skatepark who skates quite well.
The tags you are using in the post, like "booty", "chick", "babe" indicate that you see something else. Sexualizing #femaleskateboarding is to be avoided. #Sexism is a deterrent for female skateboarders and a main reason, why there's no equal share of female skateboarders in our sports.

Adding support for slappies/wallies. Allows you to ride into a wallride without jumping (wallie), and wallride short vertical surfaces and auto lock into grind (slappy). I'm using L1/R1 instead of Triangle so it can be triggered easily while crouching or manualling or both without releasing X. Either L1/R1 works now, but I'll set it to only detect L1 for left and R1 for right. Feels cool, we never added this in the Tony Hawk games.
