Just an update from north of the border. Today I went to unit13 to check on progress in the park and a GENTLE roll around to try and sort out my gammy knee. The guys have worked wonders in a week and have the small mini with spine, bank, roll in and extension finished.The bigger mini is nearly done and will have a bowled end added. The big quarter is finished, this leads to a volcano/bank and on to a large wall ride leading into the bowled mini. Hopefully next week will see all the ramps finished, its gonna be the best layout yet with lots of flow and ramps from abot 3 foot to the big wall ride maybe 10 foot.Check the pics or check on http://www.bogginzine.com/ for a virtual tour.Also some more good news - the concept bowl in the city centre is open again.

Well I got to skate the new setup at unit13 in Belfast and I must say it has a few new lines, there is a new line between two big 8 foot quarters with a volcano to bank inbetween, kinda reminded me on the old ramp city in dublin a bit except this is a lot faster. There may be more changes on the way too. I even managed to break a kingpin today so it brought my session to an early end, can't wait to try again. Next weekend should be a big weekend at the park as the meltdown fundraiser is happening for details click on the poster on an earlier post.

Well the weather report for Sunday looks mixed cloudy with rain and sunny spells. So god know how it will turn out but what choice do we have. So 11 am this Sunday at Bushy weather permitting.Check out yesterdays Mike V mini ramp session, He has to be one of our favorite skaters with a great mix of old school,new school and his own flare.

Tuesday is almost over and we've been searching the web for some cool vids on YouTube and we came up with a few.Check out the how to do inverts that follows this posting but we also found a cool Mike V. how to skate transition. try

Good new Edd will live to shred another day. The nice men and women in white coats kept him in for a few days but they finally send him home with a clean bill of health. oh and one hell of a black eye and a nice scar over his left eye to remind him of his short and violent visit to "Fight Club".I must say thank to JahEerie i had forgotten they called Graystones that.Its a mean place we've love the "bad fengshui" both very appropriate.Our buddy Eamon sent us this link to Santa Monica Airlines a very cool old school deck shop at $60 a deck we're in love check it out

Well yesterday we had Jake Brown in what must of been one of the worst slams in history so its only fair that we show him at his best and man can this dude go TEC. and he 's not bad with at basketball as well.
Don't forget Sunday Skate at Bushy

Well today was a blast!! We had a great morning at Bushy. There where only a hand fool of kids there so lots of runs for us.We even met another old dude from Venezuela called Gutar who's only just getting back on is deck after about a 10 year break, he's only back skating a month but he's still got some moves, and Neil is starting to get some lines going which is great to see him doing so well after a 6 month break.We missed Eamon today but with that long drive down from the north we cant except to see him every second Sunday. I think we are going to have to plan a road trip up the north to skate the indoor park with him soon.Also today we skated with some little grom who's only 6 but could drop in no problem scary to watch man our hearts stop for a few second the first time he rolled up and dropped in.

Saturday the 31st & Sunday 1st of June

Well it's time for another stab at it. The last turn out was great, so it's time to hit Bushy again. With any luck we'll get the weather and a few more faces,cant wait to have a good old session.

This time we hope to hit the park first thing on Saturday morning about 11am and around 2pm on the Sunday so come on down and say hi! You don't even have to bring your deck, or even have one yet to get the wheels rolling towards getting back into it.
