in realtion to susans stuf about me blog!hi guys susan is right that ramp was fucking amazing to say the least. The actual structure of the ramp was just short of perfect considering it was the guys first attempt at building a ramp(big ups jamie adam 'proxie'). Once again though i hate nto this but susan was right twice, the ramp had good vibes guys it helped alot people learn to skate properly for example check susan and sarah r go they were scared of a skateboard now love the buzz from dropping. That ramp was like a second home to me i was always there it was amazing. The main point im trying to get across is that elgin needs to do something quick even if a few of us build a ramp in sum 1's garage that will be sweet. I miss the ramp and im sure the feeling is mutual. By ging at 25/09/2006 - 18:58 | Skate | ging's blog | login or register to post comments | 266 reads

make it happen
ging,
nothing good happens without some good people to kick it off...
get a bunch of people together, get them to commit to something. get it done. ian and malcolm are asking for folk to form a club on their web site. speak to them. speak to jim and leeem and yer boiz.
get costings for rent and rates (80% discount on rates if you form a charity - i'll help you with forming a company limited by guarantee and getting charitable status if you like), for wood and whatever. insurance? how much?
think how it might fund itself - vending machines? crisps :) subscriptions? would people pay a tenner a month to be a member? or what would they pay? how many would use it? can you make it happen? think creatively. think outside the box.
would urbanology / esp / bikes & bowls sponsor it in some way? could you fund raise? sponsored x or y?
do you want it enough to do some work to make it happen?
if so, DO IT. otherwise just hang out, maybe someone, sometime in the future will.
keep up the blogging!
paul :)
