A bluesy and soulful place with a historically resourceful and independently-minded skate scene (one great early example of which was the success of Clan Skates’ locally-sourced Poizone clothing label of thirty years ago), Glasgow’s skate scene has a feel and energy all of its own. Jamie Foy, Margie Didal and Jake Wooten meet the locals behind the many DIY skate projects which have filled a physical and cultural gap left by an ambivalent local council, and discover how a skate scene survives partially undercover in a country where rain is alas no stranger.
Step inside a flourishing UK skate scene | GREETINGS FROM: MANCHESTER – Red Bull
England’s cultural juggernaut of a city makes for one of the country’s most interesting skate scenes precisely because it has got so much going against it. Despite a central architecture that reflects the city’s previous importance to the cotton trade- meaning New York-style tall buildings and relatively narrow streets (the cotton was moved by boats), Manchester’s skate scene has not only survived council bans and inclement weather, but is absolutely flourishing right now.
As Eddie Belvedere notes during the episode: “It’s just constant- it’s just growth, man- it’s never going to stop, I don’t think.”
