August 16th Event in Dudhope Park
Rick is away in Canada and will be (hopefully) posting up some shots of some of the amazing parks over there soon. As I'm sure most people around Dundee know; there is 'an event' taking place in the larger park area on the 16th.
As for the Council-run stuff:
From 12-4 pm will be the third year of the event called 'Park Life.'
Bands will be playing (including the very local team of multi-talented schraplers 'The Floor') and there will be lots of other stuff happening like the local heats for a city-wide sprinting competition.
Now...(clears throat) 'officially' there is no "organized" competition or whathaveyou in the skatepark (this is for reasons of legality / money / beurecratic evil) but during the day there will be a 'casual presence' by those who theoretically represent sponsors [ The List, Frontside, Ozzy's, Scottish Hobo, Enjoi, Spitfire, Independent, Blind, and doubtlessly many others including ourselves here at dundeeconcrete.com] who may wish to hand out gifts or "prizes" for excellence in demonstrating skateboarding skills. Thanks Andy and Craig for being so proactive. See here for more info and possible discussion. Later that evening the focus will swing from encouraging the under 18's, to encouraging the older guys (and girls) and the possible anointing of a new 'King 'o the Park.'
The skatepark is "open as usual" except for the 'hopeful but unexpected' visitation of many more non-local skaters.
If you are a BMXer or Blader we would kindly ask that you refrain from trying to ride that day... the place will probably be too crowded as it is. Please spread the word. (c'mon it's only one day)
thanks.
Here's a picture from last year of Kohler, to brighten your day and stoke your fires.
Sorry I cut yer arm off there dude.

What im trying to say is.. that poster up there is for a more general event in the park grounds.
our jam is our jam, just that.
bonus that the floor are playing across the way.
no one ever bothered about anything before. so LETS SKATE.
there is no set comp, just an all day jam with some wacky challenges.. biggest smiles win shiny stuff.
im pretty stoked that the council are being sound and doing some other stuff elsewhere in park grounds in the day time. Big D has been through the wars trying to make this all fit together nicely.
"Realskateboarder" - meet me at Dudhope at 6pm friday to get the skatepark cleaned up. cheerz
