"You can big up places like Playstation, with an atmosphere you can cut with a knife and where they also recommend you carry one. Don't get me wrong, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
News: WE HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!! (click there) Thank you so much H Man for that, and the hosting, it means much to the Harrow Skatepark populace *cough cough* :) HARROW REFERB JAM - June 22nd TheHarrow Jam was a huge success, people turned out en-mass despite the slightly dodgy weather. Although it looked like the heavens would open on us, hundreds of people turned up for the official re-opening of the park after the long process of referbishing it which has taken place over many months. Although the park has never really been closed between the works, this was the official opening day after the work has been completed, (which was quite obviously more a day when the council handed over control of the park more than the idea of it opening again,) complete with new 'artwork' on the half pipe displaying the 'Solid Surf' name, with which the park was first named back in the late sixties. Skaters and BMXers alike turned up to put on their best show for a chance to win the prizes on offer, with Death giving prizes for best performance to the skaters, and Odyssey curtesy of James Hitchcox to the BMXers. The PA system went down a treat, providing good music throughout the day (except for the intervals when it rained, and a hasty rush was need to bring the speakers into the hut until it cleared up a bit). Many officials attended, and the mayor gave his, if short, speech to the crowd and formally opened the park to the public. Many thanks go to James Hitchcox and Odysey, and to Death Skateboards and Down Low for their contibutions. Also to the police for their presence at the event and to the council for their time and effort. Pictures coming soon when i can be bothered to have patience with this goddamn computer! MY TRIP UP NORTH Well, what can i say? Had an amazing time seeing the NSF in action, Big shout out to Hologram Man for entertaining me and to his mates for showing me around, and an even bigger one to Ben for going to the effort of drving me back to the station when i left, since Megamark was too busy off galavanting on drinking binges with his northern mates. i wish i could have stayed up there, everyone was wicked, and not an irish kid in sight! Will be a full update and photos here soon as. Got a lot of work to do on here methinks, what with the write up needed for Game On etc... |
