THE SOULFUL SKATE CO. FESTIVAL IS BACK 🛹

Sunday 11 October
11am–4.30pm
📍 @sparksbristol

Last year 157 of you filled this old M&S building with longboards, surfskates, first pushes, new tricks, kids, grown-ups, new mates and a lot of very lovely chaos.

So… we’re doing it again.

This year we’ve got even more space for skating, with a whole room for Open Skate and another space for workshops.

There’ll be:

Open Skate all day
Longboard + surfskate workshops
Improver sessions + masterclasses
Kids skating
Free Mobility for Skaters with Val
Creative stuff for boards + helmets
Board care, servicing + little how-to sessions with @vandemlongboardshop
Balance boards
Coffee + food from @thecoffeelada

And you absolutely do not need to be “good at skating” to come.

You can come and skate all day, learn something new, bring the kids, watch, hang out, get your board looked at, make something, meet people… whatever you fancy.

Tickets AND workshops are live now.

Paid workshops are £15 and I’ve only released 8 places on each to keep the groups nice and small.

Festival tickets + workshop bookings are through the link in bio.

Who’s coming? 💛

Want to learn to SKID your surfskate?!

I’ve wanted to run a surfskate sliding workshop for ages, and I’m very excited that it’s finally happening with my good friend Jo Mikulska, aka @carvingthroughlife

I’ll get you comfortable with hands-down slides and Jo, with stand-up slides and snaps. We’ll will help you start releasing those back wheels getting that skrt skrt 😅

We’ll split into groups of five, start everything on the flat, take it onto the ramps and then swap halfway through.

You don’t need to be able to slide already! You just need to be able to push, carve and stop, and feel comfortable rolling up and down small ramps.

Saturday 26th September
8.30–10.30am (Slightly earlier to get as much of the skatepark to ourselves as possible!)
📍 Victoria Park Skatepark
£40
Only 10 spaces max

Booking via @soulfulskateco website 💙

The Soulful Skate Co. board fleet has casually doubled in size over the last five months, which is great news for lessons and terrible news for my storage situation.

Ross built me the first skateboard holder as a present because apparently he knows the way to my heart is through storage solutions 😅

So last week I built a second one in the workshop.

Turns out spending the last year and a half learning power tools through the van build has made me dangerously confident around bits of wood and a drill.

And because I’m a longboard snob after years of being lovingly corrupted by Vandem, I’m very picky about boards.

I would never put a beginner, improver or private lesson customer on a board I wouldn’t happily ride myself.

So yes, this is technically a post about a skateboard rack.

But it’s also a small love letter to good equipment, learning new skills, and the fact my board storage is finally looking extremely satisfying.

Last slide: caught napping on the job because apparently building your own business also means taking breaks wherever you accidentally find them 🫠

Tiring work, this skateboard thing.

Club Night at St George was full of people trying bowls for the first time, everyone cheering each other on, and @charlierowen giving us the very technical phrase “raccoon hands” mid manoeuvre 🤣

Big love to @catchaps and @effjeff , who both came through recent courses and are now whizzing round bowls!

NEXT CLUB NIGHT
📍 Hillfields Pump Track
📅 Thursday 4th June | 7.30pm
🎟️ £5

Not a formal lesson, no showing off, just a relaxed monthly skate with an excellent hype squad.

All boards welcome. Best for people who can already push and want to practise, play and meet other skaters.

Equipment can be added when booking.

Please book ahead via the Club Night page on the website so I can plan numbers and kit.
