Two new Dunks are now in the shop. The “Hawaii” Dunk low has received lots of attention, and the “Todd” Dunk high (aka the “Send Helps”) is a no-brainer of a skate shoe.

Here is a glimmer of the new Tiki Room decks that are now available. There are three colors for the public right now, with two more to come this spring. Black and red have the same concave as before, while white/brown is the successor of the old blue boards. The gold decks are for Tiki team/alumni members only.

Here’s a site dedicated to getting Regina’s new skatepark into the North Les Sherman Park location: communities4sk8rs.blogspot.com

This seems to be true from what we gather. Damn. Rest in peace, Harold.

Be there to find out the latest word regarding the skatepark. The open house will be at the South Leisure Centre, on Sunset Drive in the south end (the same location as last Wednsday’s meeting). See you there!

EDIT: The hours for the open house are 5pm to 8pm…

… by Mario!

We’re finally getting TSM again, but directly from the source. They usually have two different covers, one for the newsstands, and one for the subscribers/skateshops. We carry the latter. They’re worth it for Clyde’s Corner alone….

Lots of new shoes from DVS have arrived. Check them out in the Shoe Assessment.

Kudos to the dedicated skateboarders that show there faces at the final skatepark consultation meeting. Our numbers were strong!

There will be an open house on Wednesday, February 15th, 2006 from 5pm to 8pm at the South Leisure Centre on Sunset Drive. The cumulation of all of the meetings will be presented there, and if we’re lucky, they’ll dish out a recommendation for a location.

If you were unable to attend any of these meetings, but would still like to give your two cents, you can visit the city’s website at regina.ca. There is a feedback form along with plenty of info for you to educate yourself with.
