Plaza Fever
The success of the Vancouver Skate Plaza has swept beyond the local
press, finding it's way into even more international media coverage and
sparking the development of 2 more plaza projects by New Line
Skateparks Inc. This month, check out the Vancouver Skate Plaza Case

Zero Team Visits KamloopsThe Zero team recently visited New Lines newest concrete beauty in Kamloops BC on their way to Slam City Jam. All the riders loved the park and took no time to 'destroy' all the handrails and ledges that grace this amazing park. Look for photos of the demo in the kamloops projects folder.
