New Hastings Park Bullsh*t
A small group of local BMXers have been riding the new concrete park and causing permanent damage to the concrete which is not yet set. Concrete takes a few weeks to set hard and then lasts for decades so by jumping the fence and riding it now it is ruining things for everyone. So far several sections have had to be relaid which has put the opening back by a couple of weeks and cost thousands of pounds which will come out of the budget for the huge new phase 2 plaza which should be built next summer. Please be patient and stop ruining it for everyone.
To make matters worse, one of the key players in making this skatepark happen (and our own bowl when we built it) has been getting abuse from a small group of riders (who know you you are) which is almost too ridiculous to believe. A lot of people have put hundreds of hours of their own time in to finally getting a new park and they must be shown some respect. We can’t believe this is happening and it’s got to stop or else these people will be named and shamed and will made to look like idiots for wrecking the opportunity for Hastings to have the best skatepark in the UK when phase 2 is completed next year. If it continues, phase 2 will simply not happen.
Sorry for the rant but what’s happening is frustrating for everyone involved and it’s got to be sorted out.
