Progression not Perfection

Progression not Perfection

Every year I keep track of all the new skateparks I hit, fun times with friends and new tricks I learn. I take the mini-ramp tricks that I learn on my ramp and try to do them all in a single session. Pivot Fakies are hard and required a second session. 
Here it is in all it's sloppiness.

Pickering Museum Expansion

Pickering Museum Expansion 
A new build with a public library, community rooms and archives is being planned for the Pickering Museum site. If you haven't been to the Pickering Museum I suggest you check it out. It's and old pioneer village and parts of the Anne of Green Gables and other movies were filmed there. There is an online survey asking Pickering residents what they want the new building used for. This includes activities for youth, art installations etc. 
There is an online survey and two public input sessions.
  • Come to the Open House at Greenwood Community Centre located at 3551 Greenwood Road on Monday, January 21 at 7:00 pm
  • Come to the Open House at George Ashe Community Centre located at 470 Kingston Road on Tuesday, January 22, at 7:00 pm
A Micro Skateboard Spot would be great for the Greenwood Communities Kids and Youth. 

Garden City Skate Spot in Richmond, BC.

This small spot would fit nicely with any landscaped area on the upper Museum grounds and would fill the need for skate terrain in the north east of Pickering.
