Planning permission granted
Crack open that champagne, planning permission for the Derby Skatepark has been granted! We're so psyched, 3 years of work has finally come to fruition, and we can wait to get all the build shots on here as it happens.
By Summer we'll be riding it feeling the warm sun on our faces... just got to get through this winter! Stoked with the design too, thanks to Freestyle.
You can visit the Council's official report of the meeting here (it's item number 4) and the outcome will also be posted on the Council's website here too.
Thanks for supporting, filling forms, posting on FB and just being part of it. Thanks to you rad dudes Derby is getting a wicked park.
Cheers
Dave

Vote YES to the Derby skatepark
It's here.
The skatepark feedback has been fed back, and we have a new amazing park design. Have a look, it's going to be amazing. It's got everything, and more. Start fantasising about those infinite lines and bangers now, and by the time this thing opens in April 2011, we'll be ready.
NOW THE IMPORTANT PART:
It's going to planning, and it needs a lot of support - via this council form you fill in ONLINE.
This is what it looks like
You need to fill it in, your friends need to fill it in, your parents, brothers & sisters, girlfriends & boyfriends and even your cat. Fill it in online. Do it now.
You can also view the full spec page of the project on the Council's website here, very interesting read.
There may be opposition to this and we need to make sure we have a load of support to counteract any criticism.
Woot the skatepark is coming, thanks for all the help everyone, pat on the back for every single person who has helped make this happen.
Spread the word!

Feeding back the feedback
So, we had a meeting tonight to discuss the findings of the feedback from the consultation. We prepared a document to present our thoughts on what definitely needs changing, what could be changed and what should definitely stay.
With a group of BMXers, Daz and Rob from Rollersnakes, the Council and us Hooked reps, we briefed John from Freestyle as to what needs to be done.
Got our heads around it
Marked it up
It will be reformed into a new park
Keeping some, and changing some
Freestyle will come back to us with a new layout from what we've all said, hoped for, wanted and hated. The good bits are in, with new good bits, and the bad bits are out.
It's going to be sick...
We'll keep you posted.
