Westminster, CA (8/25/2009) – The stars aligned when FLIP
SKATEBOARDS joined forces with noted music producer and premier league DJ
Baron, to create a completely unique soundtrack for their hugely anticipated
third video project “EXTREMELY SORRY.” The soundtrack has been years in the
making and features an array of musical styles to match each skater’s part in
the film. Baron worked closely with film director Ewan Bowman for countless
hours to score original tracks which matched each skater’s style as well as one
of the film’s stars Geoff Rowley, who helped Baron connect closely to the
skaters and legitimize the process with them and the skateboard industry.

“EXTREMELY SORRY has been 4 years in the making and the most insane journey
I have been on. The music was made to serve the skateboarding and the
skateboarding is epic.” -Baron

Through an array of relationships, Baron, Geoff Rowley and the FLIP team were
able to arrange a mix of artists to provide vocals throughout the soundtrack.
At the time of this press release details have yet to be released, however
expect appearances for major acts in the rock, rap and punk genres.

Partnering with Volcom
Entertainment to distribute and market the album, FLIP feels this
soundtrack will set the standard to come for skate films in the future.

To give a taste of what the soundtrack will be like, FLIP has released an
instrumental track from the EXTREMELY SORRY David Gonzalez trailer for FREE
available on the Volcom
Entertainment site.

The soundtrack will be available for purchase in stores on 10/20/09.

Jubilee Skatepark Opening Day, April 18^th 2009-04-19

A sunny afternoon saw the opening of the recently rebuilt Jubilee Skatepark. Situated in the Kingsbrook area of Bedford, this provides a fantastic free facility for everyone. About 200 people gathered at the park to hear the Mayoress, Marlies Branston, announce the new ramps officially open. There followed an afternoon of general skating, competitions and expert performances. The winners of each category in the competition were presented with trophies and medals donated by the Beds and Herts Skating School Club, and prizes donated by Enemite. Music, a bouncy castle and a compere were provided by the Party Doctors, and St John Ambulance kindly gave their time for the afternoon.

The winners were: Inline 11-14 yrs Shaun Norman; over 15 yrs Brendan Sanger: Skateboarding 8-10 yrs Jamie Ward; 11-14 yrs Will Mitchell; over 15 yrs Luke Capehorn: BMX 11-14 yrs Joe Cook; over 15 yrs Curtis Marshalleck.

The funding for the new skatepark largely came from YOC (Beds County Council), WREN, Biffaward (these two administered by ENTRUST) and The Bedford Charity. Gravity Engineering designed and constructed the new layout. Bedford Borough Council and Bedford Design Group guided the project through to its conclusion.
