Well as you might know by now the new park in Chesterfield is open and functioning like a dream. It's a really interesting design, great location (free from scallies and lurkers) and 5 minutes from the Town Centre. We paid it a 2 day visit, with the Hooked team players Chris Gair, Miles Clark-Wallace and friends, and a special guest appearance from Craig Smedley who killed it. See the photos and footage here: Day 1 and day 2. Now go there!




Summer is almost here, so we're going to be holding skate jams all around the city. We're going to sort some all dayers, evening sessions and comps through the summer so if you get bored of the streets you can put your stuff down on the ramps for prizes. The Hooked team will be repping + some of our slick friends with their super moves will be there.

Hopefully see you there, more info on dates soon.


Struggling with those varial heels? Should have had that front pop shove months ago? Half cab flips not going 180? BS 5-0 sticking half way? Get your tricks nailed with a new bunch of tips here. If there's a trick tip you'd like to see, email us here.

Create inspiring graphics for the Hooked skate ramps and win the opportunity to create your designs on the ramps, as well
as your own printed skateboard.

Wow what a weekend. Read the full story here on how Hooked came runner up in the Derbyshire Sports Awards 2008. In short, we drank ans ate with Olympic Atheletes, watched a video they had cut together of the skating sessions in front of about 500 people.

We collected the runner up award thanks to all of you who have supported and helped Hooked... pics here. Cheers!
