Its needed in town so much more than les quennevais, and it would be unfair on the people from the east, ideally we need two parks as one is not enough for the population size.

There is plenty of parking available on site using the existing car park, facilities such as cafe and toilets nearby and it would likely encourage further use of the existing facilities. The green space and cycle track allow plenty of room for ""overspill"" and would allow other activities to occur whilst the park is used 2 We have the opportunity to have a central location which will be easily accessible for all islanders, an opportunity to give those who have no access to facilities in town to make use of a great opportunity and excel in extreme sports. 3 Skateboarding is now an Olympic sport and so locating it at the sports centre will give the impression to young islanders that they are just as important as kids who take part in more traditional organised sports. (I did not get this feeling growing up and kids continue to be made to feel like criminals for skateboarding in Jersey). The south hill site is not overlooked by anyone and will be a magnet for antisocial behaviour in my opinion. Please explain your preference (not obligatory) (1514) 4 Access and parking. Not in a fuel risk area. 5 Provides main facility within easiest reach of the majority of users on foot - those who need to take transport don't need more than one bus 6 It’s more centralised for everyone on the island. 7 St Helier needs this, there is nothing for young people in Jerseys capital. 8 I think it makes most sense to have the main park in the most densely populated area. 9 It is where it is needed most. 10 Central location serves more of the islands populations. Shorts distance from plenty of amenities. 11 It seems unfair to take the park away from those who need it most 12 Town is easier to access and a better site for users 13 because it's not stuck in the wastelands of St Helier 14 It's so much more ideal for use in town close and access routes from bus and those who don't drive. 15 all the buses come into town and it is easy access to everybody. most people that come to the skatepark also live in town. if it were to be at les quennevais, not me but some people will have to take two busses just to go to the skatepark. 16 Don't let the rich take away from the poor as usual 17 Town is more central and easier to get to for a lot of people. It would be more fair for it to be in town. 18 If the park was built at Les Quennevais I would have troubles getting there and it wouldn’t be as easily accessible for me and my piers resulting in me not using the facility as often. 19 I was all for Les Quennevais at first but now if we can get a park in town at the same size. Then it should be in town as it's centrally accessible by more users. I think smaller satellite parks are a must - but the main one should be accessible by all. And Town is the 20 This is more convenient for everyone, those who live out west and east. Meets in the middle. And this was the original plan 21 More central convenient location, easier for people to get a bus to than possibly getting 2 buses up to the sports centre 22 What a fantastic addition to the area. A way to cheer up a wasted space that has so much potential. It’s central and accessible and makes a good deal of sense 23 Live in the area and theres already one in town 24 The Skate Park would have facilities nearby with first aid station 25 I think town location would be better but would be happy with either as long as something fit for purpose is built! 26 Being a local of town I live and work in town, currently working at fort regent it would be a great Hub to have Jersey's main urban facility in town.

  • WFTDI Skatepark Guidelines
    Skatepark Risk Management Guidelines September 2020 Acknowledgments This guide was developed with extensive collaboration and input from Samara Buscovick, of Community in Bowls, and Jennifer Pillow, WFTDI’s Compliance and Wellness Manager. WFTDI appreciates their effort, input, and unwavering passion for their sport and for participant well-being. Without them, this guide would not have been possible. © 2020 Women’s Flat Track Derby Inc. (WFTDI) 2 Contents 1. Purpose 2. Rules 3. Minimum Skills 4. Spectators 5. Skatepark Etiquette 6. Skating Surfaces 7. Protective Gear © 2020 Women’s Flat Track Derby Inc. (WFTDI) 3 WFTDI Skatepark Risk Management Guidelines for Quad Skates 1. Purpose The WFTDI Skatepark Risk Management Guidelines have been developed in order to increase awareness and help reduce the risks to individuals and organizations from damages and unexpected injuries for those who participate in the sport park skating on quad roller skates. A skatepark is defined as a purpose-built, recreational area having structures and surfaces made for roller-skating. A skatepark ​ may contain half-pipes, spine transfers, handrails, funboxes, vert ramps, pyramids, banked ramps, full pipes, pools, bowls, snake runs and stairsets. These guidelines include minimum standards and ​ recommendations for WFTDI insured members and may be considered best practices for all skatepark roller skaters. The following guidelines apply to all activities, expositions and tournaments when WFTDI Skatepark Insurance is in effect. Compliance with these guidelines is a condition of coverage of the WFTDI Skatepark Insurance General Liability and Personal Accident policies. Noncompliance with the WFTDI Skatepark Risk Management Guidelines is grounds for denial of insurance coverage.

  • Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest
    etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest Stephen Kelly, Editor Photo by Guy Nelson Lake Forest, Calif., pop. 78,000, packs 6,274 people per square mile into this most densely populated city in south Orange County. Incorporated in Dec. 1991, the city has expanded to encompass the communities of Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills. The “Lake” in the city name is really two artificial lakes around which are built custom homes and condos. The forest part is what is left over of 400 acres of eucalyptus trees planted in the 1900s by a landowner for a lumber operation. Historic photo—Sat. Dec. 13, 2003, grand opening of the free public etnies Skatepark, Lake Forest, Calif., south Orange County. The city spearheaded the park. SITE Design Group of Solana Beach, Calif. designed the skate surfaces, California Skateparks of Ontario, Calif. constructed it and the Rabben/Herman Design Office of Newport Beach provided the landscape architecture. The major financial sponsor of the skate park, etnies, manufactures skateboard shoes and clothing. Photo courtesy of Rabben/Herman Design Office The Birth of a Skate Park Based on citywide recreation surveys by Lake Forest, residents indicated a skate park was the top recreation priority. Just about everywhere you go in Southern California you’ll see kids on skateboards, often on the sidewalks, or at office parks or just about any hard surface. These spaces often prohibit skateboarding, and so it’s important they have a place to go, to practice their skills, have fun and just hang out. To design and construct the skate park, the city created a public-private partnership with etnies, a manufacturer of skateboard shoes and clothing that had recently relocated to Lake Forest.

  • 2017 SLS Nike SB World Tour and Only One Gets the Opportunity to Claim the Title ‘SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Champion’
    SLS NIKE SB WORLD TOUR: MUNICH SCHEDULE SLS 2016 1 JUNE 24, 2017 OLYMPIC PARK MUNICH ABOUT SLS Founded by pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in 2010, Street League Skateboarding (SLS) was created to foster growth, popularity, and acceptance of street skateboarding worldwide. Since then, SLS has evolved to become a platform that serves to excite the skateboarding community, educate both the avid and casual fans, and empower communities through its very own SLS Foundation. In support of SLS’ mission, Nike SB joined forces with SLS in 2013 to create SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2014, the SLS Super Crown World Championship became the official street skateboarding world championship series as sanctioned by the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF). In 2015, SLS announced a long-term partnership with Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) to create a premium global qualification system that spans from amateur events to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship. The SPoT partnership officially transitions Tampa Pro into becoming the SLS North American Qualifier that gives one non-SLS Pros the opportunity to qualify to the Barcelona Pro Open and one non-SLS Pro will become part of the 2017 World Tour SLS Pros. Tampa Pro will also serve as a way for current SLS Pros to gain extra championship qualification points to qualify to the Super Crown. SLS is now also the exclusive channel for live streaming of Tampa Pro and Tampa Am. This past March, SLS Picks 2017, Louie Lopez, took the win at Tampa Pro, gaining him the first Golden Ticket of the year straight to Super Crown.

  • Alles Über Das Skaten Mit Der Hand
    Martin Winkler Fingerboarding Alles über das Skaten mit der Hand Fingerboarding_2.Auflage.indd 3 13.01.2010 10:23:46 Uhr Vorwort Hier hältst du es in Händen: das erste Fingerboardbuch der ganzen Welt! Einerseits soll Vorwort es Einsteigern helfen, Tricks zu lernen und die grundlegenden Kenntnisse über das Fin- gerboard und Fingerboarding an sich vermitteln, zum anderen gibt es auch einen kurzen Überblick über die Entstehung und Geschichte dieses Miniatursports, von den ersten An- fängen Ende der 70er-Jahre, dem ersten großen Boom Mitte der 80er, bis hin zu der durch Tech-Deck in der zweiten Hälfte der 90er-Jahre ausgelösten »Massenhysterie«, die trotz einiger Schwankungen bis heute weiterhin anhält. Fingerboarding ist schon lange keine Randerscheinung mehr; Firmen wie +blackriver-ramps+ und Berlinwood haben es längst auf ein professionelles Level gebracht. Sei es als Publikumsmagnet auf zahlreichen Events und Messen, durch nationale und internationale Meisterschaften, etliche Berichte und Artikel in den Medien, Fernseh- sendungen und Werbespots – sowie einer wahren Flut von Youtube-Videos: Fingerboarding zieht Jung und Alt in seinen Bann und dieses Potenzial wird nach und nach auch von der Öffentlichkeit erkannt. Als Renaissance des »Holzspielzeugs«, eine pädagogisch wert- volle Alternative zu den zahlreichen Computerspielen, fördert es die Kreativität, die motorischen Fähigkeiten und bietet die Möglichkeit, sich in einer ständig wachsenden Szene mit Gleichgesinnten auszutauschen, sei es in Internetforen oder auch auf immer mehr Events wie Contests und Jams. Die Eigendynamik dieses von vielen noch immer als »Gimmick« belächelten Phänomens macht sich ebenso wie die des Skateboarding mehr und mehr bemerkbar und man darf gespannt sein, wohin es sich in Zukunft noch entwickelt.
