Features: Sighthill Skatepark
Sighthill Skatepark!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I can finally announce that Sighthill Skatepark is built!!! Yey!!!

I went up there today to see them lifting a 6ft mini-ramp over the changing huts on a huge crane - what a sight!! If only i had a camera.

Anyhoo, there's a 6ft mini ramp, a driveway with a grind wall over it, a small but fun looking jump box, a selection of quarters, flat bank, rails and grind boxes.

For Edinburgh, this is a gift from God! Yes, it is metal, but the guy told me it was [made with] this new technology which isn't meant to be as slippery or make loads of noise - cool eh?

There are no flood lights, so afternoon and morning sessions will have to do for now, but the guy says there is likely to be some added soon.

[Finally, for] all the p****** - don't be scared of the neds as they're excited to see the park as well.

Hope to see ya there.

Forbes.
