Concreteskateparks apparently have two crews in town working on 2 minor (?) facilities at Holmesville and Bolton Point. Swansea is also on the hit list before com ing into town to do Mayfield with completion of all in time for Xmas. Anyone know anything more?
i know that thats quite surprising, i thought the swansea idea was abandoned
I'm not sure about Swansea.(I'm dying to see some fresh round wall in this town. This old dogs days are numbered!) Bolton Pt and Holmesville are definitely started. I and I saw them this mornin'. Not enough crete poured to suss the overall layout at H'ville and Bolton is only dirtwork stage.
This is a huge surprise to me too Russ. Who did Lake Macq CC consult on these? I know one thing: Holmesville looks like BMX and moto bike central. Better take a broom, a mighty big broom.
damb those bmx bandits. you should post up some images of the 'Jennifer Hawkins Memorial Skateboarding Facility" in progress. i am keen for some different un pre-fag-ricated parks. TE (SLAYTANIC) and I drove past Mayfield yesterday, few peoples on the site clearing the pipes.
p.s. does anyone have any plans for all these new parks?
Brennan you fiend,thanks for the mad removilist skills that you represented yesterday,much love.My new couches are quite pimping,we are deffo skating this Sunday.
Jen Hawkin's wardrobe malfunctioning at the park opening. Now that would be worth a photo!
i remember reading some money spender thing from nsw sport and rec and it said the cost and wat was gunna be there
it said bolton ppoint 10 or 15 G's, mini ramp
thats all i know
Holmesville= 10 or 15 g's well spent!!!!!! Gravel Burns and I went to check progress yesterday. This is going to be a fun park even though it will certainly be dominated by two wheelers. We sussed our lines and smiled at the 20'-24' wide tranny wall with big coping and even all the ollie hoppin', rail ridin' shit because this park is gonna be fast, smooth and functional and you know olde guys hate to push. Well fuck South Newcastle Beach, I'll pitch my tent under a tree and have several early ones out here. (After sweepin' up of course) Looks good! Must take camera next time.
2-3 weeks should have it skateable. Platforms poured on both sides with coping cast in on southern tranny wall. Tranny wall shaped but not yet poured. Hump/funbox/tabletop bits and some ledges poured in middle. Flats will be last no doubt. It looks really good so far. When done it will surely be the best we have locally. (Big call!) On main road heading out of H'ville to Barnsley on right in front of soccer ground. Go for a drive or wait till I post some photos.
thanks Cozmick Avenger - can't wait to see these flicks and to skate this park in a few weeks. gtg storm
