Road to Tram Line Spot
Watch our short documentary now!
The good folk at Nottingham cultural institution, and the best magazine in the city, LeftLion Magazine, host the online premiere of our 16-minute documentary about the creation of Nottingham’s landmark, skate-friendly space, Tram Line Spot.
The film was completed in 2023 by talented filmmaker and long-time Skate Nottingham collaborator, Georgianna Scurfield, and is being seen online for the first time. This follows several international screenings, in which Skate Nottingham were invited to share the Tram Line Spot & wider Nottingham skateboarding story in cities such as Budweis, Czech Republic; Tampere, Finland; and Bordeaux, France; as well as a UK international premiere at the Mansfield Town Film Festival in the summer of 2024.
Watch the film, skate TLS, and be inspired about what you can do for your city!
