Extreme Urban Sports Day for Stamford

Sunday, June 27, 2010

We're planning a big urban sports event this summer. Kinda like Stamford's very own X-Games but open to EVERYONE and COMPLETELY FREE!

This event would not be possible if it wasn't for the extremely generous support of the following local businesses:

J&L Ball Interiors

Dawson of Stamford

Voujon

Mama Liz's Soul Food Shack

Cummins Generator Technologies

 Paul Johnson Property Consultants

Watson Mitchell Blackburn Property Management

UK Printwear

Rutland Cycles

Stamford Living

Professional extreme events team, Team Extreme, will be bringing their own portable (but big!) skatepark to do their own demos on plus allow you all to use it in between They will also offer coaching to the newbies and those looking to improve (aren't we all?).

I guess we just want to give you somewhere decent locally to skate/ride for a day to help you remember how good the old skatepark used to be and to make you realise how good a new permanent skatepark will be. Plus we want you all to know that we haven't forgotten about you. Ahhhh, int that nice of us?

See the link below for the kind of thing we're talking about and let us know what you think via the forum:
