Right, more good news on the Gallery. 3 minor updates to the navigation:

First – I’ve moved the [NEW] tag and toned down the colour slightly.

Second – I’ve added a number to each link showing how many images are in each section

Third – I’ve identified and fixed a bug that was not allowing access to a couple of the sections. These were specifically

– The 2005 ASA/LG Finals at the MEN Arena in Manchester and

– The USD/Deshi clinic event from 2005 held at Rampworx Skatepark

I am still working on recovering the data from my archives to try and fill in any blanks.

It’s time to get myself sorted and work on the website again. I’ve fixed the user creation process so anyone waning to register on the site should now be able to. Also I’m working through my old photo archives.

They may be new, they may not be I don’t know but I’ve only just heard of them. I was out at the UKSkate Free Christmas Jam event and as always on the lookout for good pads.

As most people heard, the original skatepark venue for this year’s Winterclash burned down the day before the event was due to take place. With dozens of competitors and hundreds of spectators coming from all over Europe (and further) Something needed to be done, and the guys really made it happen. I have no idea how they managed it, but the whole event was relocated to the Area 51 skatepark in Eindhoven.

Many of you may not know but there was a meeting on Tuesday 22/05 where the people who run Clitheroe Skatepark asked the council for permission to start charging kids to get in.

The council will discuss this at their meeting in 8 weeks time.

The park was set up as a community park and we are campaigning to KEEP CLITHEROE SKATEPARK FREE.

please add your thoughts on the UKSkate forums, or on the article above. Please also pass the banner around to make people aware of whats going on.

Basically, there is a session at the Boneyard tonight (Friday 30th March) for inline only. Special late opening 7pm – midnight. Get over there!

Slightly more info.

We had a full-on mission to get to Winterclash 2007. It started for me on Thursday, when I went straight from work to pick up Laura Huntley, and head over for a preparatory evening at Rampworx skatepark in Liverpool. It didn’t end until I late Sunday when I finally got home having had little sleep and even less nourishment in the intervening days.
