Calgary skateboarder Levi Switzer got on Transworld Skateboarding’s “Wednesday Woe” this week with a bad bail. Don’t watch it if you are squeamish.
Levi spent some time in the hospital, recovered, and has since been hit by a car! We’d like to wish Levi a speedy recovery– hopefully we can get the full story when he’s up and skating again.

The Future of Skateparks
Posted On Sep 27 2011, 10:55 AM by asayer
Could this be the future of skateparks? Big name designers, WiFi, graffitti walls, concert stage, climbing wall, and more all housed under thermal canopies that allow skating year round no matter what mother nature is throwing down. Sounds like just the thing Canada needs.
Selgas Cano completed the Merida Factory Youth Movement in Spain this summer and the thinking behind it is quite ground breaking. With skateboarding more in the mainstream then ever it probably won’t be long before skateparks start getting worked into cities urban design plans more often.
Write-up and pics (unless otherwise mentioned) from Juxtapoz:
“Built by architectural firm Selgas Cano in Merida Spain, Merida Factory Youth Movement, is an all-encompassing fun zone for kids and young adults. Completed this year, the project includes a skatepark, concert hall, rock climbing, theatre, ballroom, and even broadband Internet. The entire building is covered under a large thermal canopy, allowing use in all weather conditions. Open to anyone and beautifully designed.”
