Can you give us a brief history of your store?
The store was founded in 2003 by my Brother Richard and me. We’re both riders and wanted to create a store to support the local scene in Bexhill/Hastings, UK. We’re now nearly 20 years deep and have stores in the UK, USA and Germany, while the whole time sponsoring riders, putting on trips and running the Battle of Hastings Comp here at our very own Skatepark under Hastings Seafront - Source Park.
What type of riders are part of your community and what makes your community so special?
For our second time included in Vans The Circle we have taken a different approach and included a varied bunch of riders from our local scene. With everyone from Jordan Okane to Louis our Source Park mechanic and then through to Joe Smith a young up-and-comer from Jump Club and our Eagles coaching program! Excited for you all to see how they ride in their own way and shred!

There are a lot of people that ride. You could just turn up at the skatepark and there will always be someone there and there are loads of spots to ride, and if the weather isn’t good there’s always The Source Park to ride.
