SOME PICTURES OF PROJEKTS RENOVATION
A bit of a turn up for the lads at Projekts, with the bridge officials saying a big no to any wooden ramps next to pillars and insisting that anything near the pillars should be at least 3 meters away means the park is in for a redesign. Can you see the quarter pipe/flat bank/higher quarter above, and not one but two hubba block setups, smart!
It's nice that Projekts is still running, can't wait to see the finished timber its bound to be good, just a matter of time now, im thinking hip hubba radness.

Its a fact, skateboarding is fun and does not pay the bills, working all day everyday pays my bills, still I found this frontside Gez in the archive an found the time to post it too, now lets find the time for a shred, its good for the mind you know.
17.09.09
Maybe soon a good edit from central skates manchester might appear here, but for now i've made this Damo Coffin slam vs Ed Arrgh comic art pettia, or maybe I will just post little bits of stupidity as I find it, who knows?
13.09.09
The old photo of Chris Barret's smith tail is in celebration of Projekts opening again, only minus the vert wall. At least it's up an running at the normal times. Meanwhile getting background props in a photograph can be better then the main focus, well done D..
Whats going to happen with the park? the set up or future extension? I guess thats up to the council, you know how much bureaucracy can be involved, especially during a recession. Maybe it's time to speak to the non bearded John again, he seems to find answers and stay focused on the future. The picture is a pretty small Oliver Whitehead bluntslide to tailslide chin up .

A Car park, a vast empty white lined wilderness can keep you amused for hours, escape an destroy, escape the barren chains of home life boredom an destroy the fresh waxed curbs of consumerism paradise. Car parks are the birth of street skating and should never be under estimated, we’ve skate parks everywhere but all hail the smooth tarmac of a well groomed car park an its never ending lines and street tech training possibilities, now graze your knee on an otherwise useless piece of modern life, doggers.

Mike Wright was there, an he ripped.
This fella had some one foot landing shuv it madness, not sure if it counts still a well good effort.
Lloyd McLeggon was gutted he bailed on a kickflip, hey, you win some you lose some right? No sweat you got it.
Mike faces the MCR crowd cans at the ready
the nollie front foot flip (tongue twister) was rad, shame on my shooting
When you just got to roll it don't matter how high the fence is.
The mandatory product toss, no fisty cuffs, whats up with people these days? Where's the blood an tears.

Ed kills it again with this half cab frntside flip into the steep bank at Central skatepark, Manchester. He made it twice because the first picture was a bit out of focus, cheers Mr Belvedere, this is a sick picture.
st
I sense a Central based skate flick happening, or maybe just a giant sumo costume fight like last time.
This wallride is treacherous, kiddo said he nearly broke his ribs on the gap next to it, 'do not bail' might be the best approach. Ed has it for breakfast, vegetarian of course.
Olly Whitehead feebles through the kink and off to Town Bar for a pint, with the ease of a man with a plan, a good plan.
