Sovereign Skate-Park Refurbishment

February 4, 2009 · 2 Comments

Latest on the Sovereign Skate-Park Refurbishment from Eastbourne Council:

Sovereign Skate Park is located on the seafront, behind the Sovereign Centre. Eastbourne Borough Council has been awarded £85,000 to refurbish the skate park.

Towards the beginning of the 2008/9 academic year, consultations took place with local skaters and other potential users of the skate park to find out what they would like to spend the money on.

According to our procurement procedure, we will shortly be placing an advert in the local press and a trade journal advertising for skate park constructors to show thier interest.

Interested contractors are then given an information pack which will include a criteria or brief to work to among other information. They will also be invited to meet with the consultation group to gain first hand views of what is required.

They will then design the Skate Park and the design most matching the criteria will be decided through a steering group comprising members of the council, officers and persons involved in consulation.

Coast Bladers, change

November 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Coast Bladers has changed, Gary Crowhurst who started Coast all those years ago has moved on. “I have started mountain boarding as I enjoy it more then skating, I do still skate but not as much these days’”. Don’t fear coast is still running and is now in the capable hands of other original members; Terry and Cameron.  Coast still stands for the traditional view, Skate till you drop. simple!

Coast is still with the ESA and will still be doing the normal demonstrations.

Look out!

Kendama – Skaters new toy

October 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The official USA Kendama team happens to be a collaboration of pro skaters (Alex Broskow, Franky Morales, Jeff Stockwell etc.)

One thing for sure is that as soon as it takes the world by storm (and stops being bladers only), it’s gonna lose all credibility, so you might as well get one before that happens.

UPDATE!

Locoskates.com are now stocking Kendama.
