CIVIC is now up and running.
The website features a Video Library of Leeds skateboarding videos spanning from the 1990s to the present, from the likes of Paul Silvester in Wisdom’s Pulling Teeth and Sidewalk’s In Motion; throughout the Sore Skateboards years and up to the present with Josh Hallett’s videos for Welcome Skate Store and other independent productions including Joe Allen’s PÉTANQUE, Will Smith’s Assembly and Hilda Quick’s “Drafts” series.
We also have an interactive Spot Map with details of locations for street skating around the city, footage from over the years, information for when they are/aren’t a bust plus the nearest restrooms and other local amenities.
This retrospective mixtape marks the occasion, focusing on footage and spots seen in recent Leeds-based productions peppered with a few heritage clips. Civic is an ongoing project and more videos, spots and articles will be updated over the coming months. Dive into the Video Library and share the Spot Map below.
