EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant energy of Harrow Skatepark in Byron Recreation Ground, Harrow. Located in Greater London, this iconic skatepark has been a hub for skateboarders since its opening in July 1978. Originally known as Solid Surf, it was designed by Adrian Rolt and G-Force, two renowned figures in skatepark design. The photograph showcases skateboarders skillfully maneuvering through the Moguls, a set of interconnected bowls that are one of the park's original features. The concrete mix used to construct the park, called shotcrete, provides a smooth and modern surface for these talented athletes to showcase their skills. In shades of grey and with an industrial aesthetic, this image perfectly encapsulates the essence of urban sports culture. Teenagers can be seen defying gravity with their daring tricks and impressive stunts against the backdrop of this unique recreational space. Harrow Skatepark is not just a place for sport; it represents freedom, creativity, and self-expression for those who embrace skateboarding as more than just a hobby. This historic landmark continues to inspire generations of skaters while serving as a testament to the enduring popularity and evolution of this dynamic sport. Simon Inglis' photographic masterpiece immortalizes both the physicality and spirit that make Harrow Skatepark an integral part of London's cultural landscape.
