Some good news from the credit crunch

Only one example I'm afraid, sadly not enough to turn around the global recession. Apologies for the boring topic guys, but it is very tenuously BMX-related.

This example being Harrow Skatepark - I went there at the weekend, it is still there and it is still fun to ride. No one has any money to buy and develop the land so the park has been given 3 years grace, or until finance starts flowing freely again. In the meantime the park will stay, they have a new ghetto wood quarter in the corner, and with sponsor money they're hoping for a spine to be added (potentially concrete).

In other news the trails are still there and will require minimal work to get the 10-pack running. Bit sketchy, but a 15 minute train ride from my new place so I'm gonna try and find whoever builds there and hopefully fix them up. No need to wait til Summer for a trails session Perry!

Also, Mega is a pilot for Easyjet! He is married and settled, but according to the guy I spoke to he is still a dirty b*stard and occasionally calls his mates whilst on the crapper. Legend.

No photos because I was riding solo and didn't fancy having my camera stolen by any ASBO kids.
