Wild in the Streets London Recap

Sunday June 20th was a great day for skateboarding in London. The sun was out, Emerica pros Braydon Szafranski, Aaron Suski and Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long, together with Euro riders Eniz Fazliov & Ante Aiello + UK riders Tom Knox & Chris Ault, were in town and approximately 300 kids were amped to go Wild in the Streets together with them. Emerica would like to thank everyone that was there and helped make this day one to remember.

The video edit from Dan Magee captures the spirit of the day and the essence of Wild in the Streets perfectly.

WITS London’s aim was to raise money and awareness for Southbank.
In 2006 The Side Effects Of Urethane art collective gave the space at London’s legendary Southbank skate spot a new lease of life by installing skateable sculpture blocks. However having been skated heavily over recent years, the blocks are now in desperate need of updating. Toby Shuall, one of TSEOU founders, has been given permission to replace the blocks with updated versions, and is actively raising funds to create brand new and improved skateable sculptures at the Southbank.


It’s an ambitious project which will require significant investment to pull off. During WITS London Emerica collected a few hundred Pound Sterling. More is needed though to get the new block at Southbank. Therefore, for the next week, you can still order your Emerica tee in Green or Black through Slam City to support Southbank.
