Skateboard


It is the skateboarding fad that has got everyone doing ollies, shuvits and handstands but not everyone is happy with the pops, jumps, flips, slams, slides or goofies going on in the public and private spaces of the city of Plymouth. One entrepreneur is looking to open an indoor skatepark with leisure facilities and surfboard-maker J T Flex has turned its hand to crafting skakeboards. Reporter Lawrie Quayle tries to catch up with the pace of the new skateboarding phenomenon.
