All in skatepark (just outside of London, Ontario) are hosting their third annual All In Full House jam December 5th and 6th. It sounds like the 5th will be mainly street/ jam format style, sunday will consist of runs and Saturday night will be a good time all around. The park has come a long way, they now have an amazing looking bowl along with a ton of rad stuff in the park. If you’ve been looking for a reason to check out this park, here it is. Also, join the event on facebook here.

Last week The Come Up premiered the DWOK Mixtape, and to the uninitiated they might be wondering what the hell a DWOK is, who these guys were, or what’s up with London, ON? We’ve been a fan of what this humble crew have been doing for a little while now and were patiently awaiting their mixtape. They managed to put out a full video, independent of any brands, that turned a lot of heads and showcased some amazing riding and unseen talent. The video focuses on the creatively use of their local spots, instead of the bangers and NBD route. While it’s easy to fall in to the traps of web video cliches, what these guys have been doing appears genuine and sincere, so we thought we’d shed a little more information on this young crew and spoke to the mastermind of their video Jack Leonard. Check it out below.

After long last the DWOK Mixtape is finally out. This whole thing clocks in at just over 30 minutes but it felt like it flew by when I watched it. A number of full parts, split parts, and mix parts from Eli Taylor, Jack Leonard, Mason Gray, and a bunch more of London, ON’s finest. Creative editing, so many instances of great spot usage, great soundtrack, and the VX filming looked crispy. It’s great to see a crew investing so much time to create a unique end result that really stands out and shines against a sea of rushed web edits. Nothing felt fake or forced, DWOK is the real deal. This is a must watch.

We’ve profiled work from Trent and Scott Barker since we first launched the site, and their submissions keep getting better. Back in the spring Trent visited Scott in London, England, and they both took a trip to Budapest somewhere in the middle. Trent sent us a selection of photos that they both took on the trip for everyone to enjoy. Click below to check them out and read what he had to say.
