Den’s Ramp
Crowhurst

Crowhurst is an isolated village situated five miles (8 km) north-west of Hastings in East Sussex.

When Tom Pickard from Source Skate shared his film with us, we wanted to share it with you. This is 100% up our street and the kind of story we love to hear. Dennis is a total legend!

The Myth of Crowhurst Bowl

A mini-documentary about a long-lost DIY ramp hidden away in the East Sussex countryside, built by the infamous Dennis in 1989. The film chronicles the ramp's evolution throughout the decades and the skaters that graced its transitions over the years.

This film is a thank you letter to Dennis, who selflessly built the ramp off his own back to give the local kids a space to skate and ride. This film accompanies an online Vague Skate Mag article, which you can find here.

Featuring - Joe Sandland, John Holdcroft, Mark Richards, Dan Brown, Marcus Levere, Kronus Taylor, Egon Reynolds, Sam Roberts, Jono Coote, Asher Thornton, Rich West, Mitch Wheeler, Craig Questions, Stephen Roe (Rogie), Chris Oliver, Jake Snelling, Ewen Bower, Sid Prestedge, Reuben Cooke and many more...
