 National art is very important to projects like this because without the backing and support facilities like this one exists. I started skateboarding when I was six years old. Within the last year or so it's gotten a lot more serious more than I would have imagined but I'm loving it. I think it's really important that these skate parks exist because it's like another community for everyone else. Like most people just see it as a skate park but for us it's like a whole community of friends you don't see every day at school but you can come ride together and it's like a judge-free zone so it's really cool. For me this just helped me progress as a rider, as a person. I actually seen the designs for this before it was opened and so the day that it opened I was here religiously. I got into extreme sports when I was very young age. I started off BMXing, was going to every skate park over East London, ended up getting injured a multiple times and now I've ended up on a mountain bike and I start wheeling everywhere and that's my new passion and my new love for sport is. So the National Lottery is absolutely fundamental to what we're trying to achieve through sport. We fund projects across the nation that the young people want to see and it's important we listen to what they want and we're able to provide those kind of facilities and resources and support because of the help of the National Lottery. The thing is there's a lot of trouble on the streets these days as we know. There's a lot of youths getting in trouble all throughout the UK and facilities like this give them a place to go and blow off their energy, their steam. We're more than just a business, we're a family and you know we all work together to help people progress to be the best person they are, whether that's the best person inside the skate park or outside the skate park. So I think the work that the National Lottery has done in the UK is very important because it's created opportunity and spaces for the youth to feel safe and enjoy sport around their friends. The fact that they've invested £22.5 million into over 700 different BMX and skateboard activities is something that means a lot to me as I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that.
