Diary Time

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup...

Finally got my F-ing computer sorted. Turned out I had to reinstall my SATA adaptor driver for anyone that was wondering. The break in updates is over from now.

So, as for some news...we finally got the manny pad sorted today. The reason it took so long since the consultation was due to a number of call-offs due to weather. But today we managed to get down there early this morning and get it done.


We tweaked it around for a while and looked at it from all angles, in the end we figured this was the best for approaching it from all different ways. We tried to keep in mind being able to get to the back side of it, as the next thing we are looking at is to remove the side railing to reveal that sweet coping on the other side. 


On top of that, we got all the holes around the park filled in, most importantly the deadly mini ramp, and straightened up the grind box.


 Big thanks to Ricardo for making it all possible, and the two builders who followed all our orders and fixed the place up nice.

As for what's next, get your diaries out for a few upcomers...

Firstly, Take Part Festival returns next Saturday June 23rd, at Preston park. As part of a larger event around the park, there'll be a half pipe and street course up for you to skate, with demos from the Drawing Boards team as well. Things kick off at midday.

The Sunday of next weekend should, all things going to plan, be the opening jam for Hollingdean's new park. The build is well under way, and there should be some prizes and a good session going. That's the 1st of July.



A week after that one is Paddle Round The Pier, running July 6th, 7th and 8th down by Hove lawns somewhere. Anyone there last year will know that this should be sick, with a few different sized ramps, some sick skating and a bunch of other entertainment. Do your sun dance for this one.

And if that isn't enough, the few weeks after that will see the Crawley Jam, a Shoreham event or two, the opening of Woodingdean's new facility, and of course another hectic one at the Goon. We're looking at some time in August for that one, and going even bigger and better than last year. Details of all of those will be confirmed ASAP. Hype!!
