23 Years of Unit23 Jam

November 7, 2025

Unit23 Skatepark celebrated it’s golden anniversary!

Over the years we’ve seen a ton of skateparks come and go over the years, but there’s a good number that have been keeping it rolling for a long time! The Unit 23 Skatepark in Scotland is a perfect example of how it’s done! They celebrated their 23rd anniversary by building some new ramps and throwing a huge jam. Check out all the madness from the party!

“23 years of Unit 23! In preparation of their 23rd birthday, the guys at Monolith came together with the Unit23 crew to complete a total revamp of their incredible bowl in Hall 1. And what better way to celebrate than throw one of their legendary jams?! Enjoy the full highlights video courtesy of Dave Sowerby, and look out for a raw video coming next week.

“More Than A Job” Twenty Years of Unit 23

January 2, 2023

There’s another one celebrating 20 years! Unit 23 Skatepark in Scotland!

There has been a few 20th anniversary celebrations to kick the year off from Gary Young’s 20 Years on Odyssey to the 20 Years of Catty Woods. The crew at Unit 23 Skatepark are also celebrating 20 years of riding and good times! Here’s a video BSD produced telling the story of the park from how it all came about on up to what the place looks like today!

“Unit 23 is a mecca for BMX and has played an important part in the history of BSD.

Over the last twenty years the park has seen a lot, far too much to cover in a mini documentary, and with some antics that best never see the light of day anyway! To mark the occasion we wanted to look back on some of the key moments in the park’s history.

Fresh off finishing his recent ‘Unit Life’ BSD video, we spoke to Chaz Mailey to talk about the last year of filming while also reminiscing about the last twenty years at one of the world’s most iconic indoor skateparks…
