We had a visit from long time pal and collaborator Richard 'French' Sayer as he is holding a small exhibition with our neighbours in conjunction with Home Of Metal. When we first moved to the Custard Factory he posted up and painted a number of murals for us and he has done a couple of graphics since for garments including the brilliant H.O.M. garms here.
Recently he has been working on found needlepoint and adding his own graphics. Each and everyone a winner. If you get chance get down to see us in the next 2 weeks to view. If you can't stretch to a painting we have a lot of Dungeon merch in stock, from patches to shorts and hoods here.

A big thanks to everyone that came out on the 19th to enjoy the night. Darren reckons it was a stronger turn out than the year before and he's keen to build on it for next year.
We got to see the second instalment of the Silhouette series which was a banger as well as some deep cuts from Jamies vaults with a rad Jack Edwards part from the early noughts. Lots of local art and photography lined the walls and our pal Wig Worland blessed us with some incredible shots of Midlands skaters taken when he was a regular visitor to Birmingham in late 90s / early 00s.
Huge thanks to everyone that contributed art and videos and everyone that bought merch so the night could be paid for. If you went, you are a winner, if you didn't get to go then please look out for next year.
]]>Darren, Rueben and Japhet put on 'Through the eyes of a skater' last year at Centrala, bringing together video, artwork, ephemera and photography to highlight the culture that runs right through the middle of skateboarding. Many folks attended and much fun was had.
Instalment 2 is happening on Saturday August 19th, building on the success of the first event with more contributors and a packed out evening.
Note the date and be a part of it.
]]>Thanks Alan!
]]>Fastlands has long been a safe haven for skateboarding in the city. When the pickings were good and there were spots a plenty it was always the last resort for a dry skate with no hassles. With the recent skate friendly improvements, extensive resurfacing and continued authority blindspot status Fastlands has become a go to spot.
A number of events have been held there in the past, most notably the No Comply Network jam in 2017 but its got to be said that the Black Mass event this weekend raised all the bars. Slap Ramps added a healthy vertical vector, Heathen Euro-gapped the nine which also has a rail re-situated to make it skateable. Much destruction occurred finishing with the double set as darkness fell. Big shout outs to Marcus Palmer and Will who literally smashed themselves to bits to abate the baying crowd.
If you missed it, you missed out.
Huge thanks to

Bournbrook Rec needs your help.
The recreation ground that the skatepark is situated in has been earmarked for development by local councillors and over the last 10 years they have been working on a concept to build a number dwellings on this valuable green space. The current plan is to partner up with Aldi who want to modernise their store by taking a portion of the existing park and the rest being used for 10 residential units. So we are facing the loss of a vital urban park that has been very well used over the last two years to extend a supermarket and build 10 homes. This is a green space that will be lost to the local community forever when there is no shortage of development land nearby.
There has been little local consultation, especially recently where the use of the park has changed during lockdown so please make your thoughts known here.
Keep it reasoned and civil but make sure that the powers that be recognise that the park should stay and be improved upon.
Main application here.

Remember the date.
Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
This is the day that the fences came down on Bournbrook DIY, the day that Birmingham got its newest skateboard facility officially recognised and the first skateboard DIY in the country to be sanctioned by local government. From very humble beginnings to a thriving community project, Bournbrook has changed the landscape in Birmingham and we couldn't be more proud of everyone involved. A big thanks goes out to everyone who pitched in and helped to make it happen with special gratitude to James Hemming.
Without his expertise, energy and enthusiasm this would have remained a dream.
We miss you James.
]]>Kings Norton skatepark is one of the best used skate facilities in Birmingham and has been providing a safe environment to skateboard and socialise for the last 15+ years. Being so well used, the facility needs some attention and would benefit from extension with the increased use that was seen over summer 2020.
Please lend your voice to support the cause by signing the petition linked below.
Lets work together to make Birmingham skateboarding better.
