Danny Way etc will doutlessly berehearsing theirMega-Ramp sequined-leotard dance movesfor this NEW PARK IN WHITFIELD.
Yep… what a beauty.
I especially like the TARMAC. Bless’em.
Super-small-budget though and they just couldn’t afford a concrete slab, plus theyadmit thearea mostly full of BMXers, not skaters. (Sorry Kieren&co, you are from the area but just aren’t important to the the youth workers. You act like a real people, notnasty littleanimals, so they don’t need toworry about distracting you with a ‘facility.’ Does that not speak volumes about the cool people that skate at Dudhope??)
Still…. if this helps keeptheBMX-bandits-who-tuck-their-tracky-bottoms-into-their-socks, fromcoming to Dudhope, then I’m stoked.
Thanks to Dundee City Council for the picture.
EDIT: 23 Feb.
To be fair: this ground is under consideration for redevelopment, and the idea of ramps that CAN be dug up and moved in the future is probably a good idea to save the council money.
It was apparently a teeny-tiny budget and is only meant for the local kids wot don’t wanna pay to get into Super Mario’s World of Leather which is ten less than a ten minute cycle from here…
