To continue, Southstar.... a skatepark is more than just the sum of its geometric transitions - it's what the skaters make it - if you're a true skater you'll know what I mean - the shear excitement of the annual Pure Fun Skate Parties - something like 72 hours of free skating and music (until Health and Safety cast its deathly spell over it) - I'm trying to find time between grandchildren to write the book about Livi and the utter madness of the early days of skateboarding - watch this space
-
You're missing the point southstar - the Livi park will be 30 years old this year - it was state of the art when it opened in 1980 - it gave world skateboarding a huge kick up the pants when everyone was saying skateboarding was dead in the water and should be junked along with the hula hoop - that first year saw Caballero & McGill visit the park - skaters came from France, Italy, Germany, Spain, all over the UK and hung out there for weeks in a little United Nations tented village.
I live in Livi, literally just across the other side of the river from the park and it's what made me n my friends skate. Granted we were rollerblading but that's besides the point. The only reason I dont like the park is cos when you skate the same thing every day it eventualy gets boring. You get used to where the cracks are n work around them.
The only reason the park has gone downhill now is cos of the NEDS. But they aint a match for the skaters as we've proven before!
