Miyashita Park, one of the best skate parks in Tokyo, regrettably closed in March this year. It was a shock not only to local skaters in the Shibuya area, but also to many other users.

And today in the UK, we are facing a similar crisis. This is because the demolition of London's most famous skate spot, "Southbank," was announced in 2013.

To stop this, a group of skaters in London set up an organization calledLong live South BankThe South Bank is still in existence today. "You Can't Move History" was the slogan of the event, and thanks to a petition signed on the spot, the "South Bank" is still in existence today.

The long-established British skate store "SlamCity Skateor "SupremeSkate agencies in Japan and abroad also support them by selling their items. In Japan, PROV, a store in Harajuku, is currently handling their products.

In this promotional video, you can see many people of all genders, nationalities, and ages signing the petition. I realized once again that the free love for the streets of skaters who have lived with the area for many years is the driving force behind this initiative.

Anyone can participate in this charity activity through the website! Of course, you can also support them by wearing their items. Please cast a clean vote for this martial but warm-hearted skate organization born in a park full of graffiti!
