Sorry about the delay with getting some up to date pics on the site, click on the ones below to see how its all going!
The huge far end flat bank / quarters have appiered recently so go have a look. There is no surface on it yet but but it gives a good idea of the shape of it.

The mini ramp is fully put together and bolted down, would not advise skating it but if you must watch out as there are sharp welds everywhere on the riding surface. Will go down there when ive got time and file them off, also some small gaps left between the riding surface peaces, will maybe fill these in with chemical metal???!!! any ideas? On the whole it's all shaping up really well! Rich.

The tavi mini ramp is back! and so will its little friends the box, bench and rail very soon (by the end of this week). Should be able to skate the ramp with super extentions (roll-in and flatbank) by tomorrow or next day although the run out will be rough as, (final layer of tarmac yet to be added). Had a look at the roll-in down at steel tech yesterday, looks rad, going to be maximum warp speed of the bottom of this baby! We have now secured all the money to build the entire park in one go. Thank you Barclays Bank!
Just have to wait a little longer for the rest to be built.

All the under tarmac and concrete foundations are now done, the fencing is being installed at the moment about half of it is done now. Still waiting for the mini with extentions, box, bench and rail. this should be started to be installed next week but steel tech are soo slack, it could be longer and probably will be!

Should be able to skate it in 2 – 4 weeks, that’s only phase 1 (tarmac base, bench, manual box, rail, 4’ mini with flat bank / roll-in welded onto the sides of the platforms). Phase 2, Stand alone 4’ quarter, driveway with flat top spine at one end + ledge in middle + hip at far end, 6’ and 5’ quarter pipes with flat bank in middle, little quarter set into flat bank with box on top. If we receive the Barclays bank grant (will know in few weeks) then in two – three months-ish it will be completely finished. Really depends on how long Steeltech take to manufacture the equipment. Bare steel riding surface.
