The House of Vans skatepark in London is a unique place to have a skatepark – it runs through the tunnels under Waterloo station. They’ve recently changed up the street section and updated it with new features, so they held a jam with the likes of Dakota Roche, Dan Lacey and Boiski in attendance.

It seems like the new street section has been modelled on a California street spot! It works really well and is a nice change from the original set up. The atmosphere gets really good in the small space at House of Vans, everyone getting stoked on peoples’ lines and tricks.

It was rad to see Dak and Lacey there, both them were shredding! Sadly, early on, Dak tweaked his knee out and that called it a day for him as he had to fly off to Spain later that day. When the actual jam was going on, Lacey was getting loud on the mic, pumping up some of the street lines people were doing.

The banger for the cash for tricks was a pegs to hang five to fakie hang five back to fake pegs to 180 out. Ridiculous wording, good line! Check the photos below.
