Here’s a little preview of what the Langdon Youth Council and Spectrum have planned for us this summer. Langdon is set to host a skate comp/ribbon cutting ceremony on July 17th. Stay tuned for details on the days events.
If you’ve been following any kind of skateboarding-related media, you’ve probably seen Jeff Thorburn’s photos. He’s been posting a lot of good stuff on calgaryisawesome.com too. Check this gem out:
Element Skateboards will again be rewarding the people who pitch in and clean up their skatepark, this time in Cochrane. It’s on Wednesday, April 22 from 5-7PM.

This might not seem like a big deal, but a board that has a lot of sentimental value was stolen from Millennium Park during the clean up.
It’s a Real Peter Ramondetta Train model. It has a very unique shape — it looks like a coffin. The deck itself is all black, with some scrapes. It’s got Indys, and larger Spitfire wheels. I’m willing to bet there is only one in Calgary because this one has Ramondetta’s autograph on it. There is a reward being offered for its return, no questions asked.
More thank-yous are in order for the Millennium Park clean up. Visionary Skateboards and Royal Boardshop gave out some gear and pitched in their time. Donovan Watson took these photos:
A good crew came out to Millennium Park on Saturday to clean out the park from the beating it took from a harsh winter. We were lucky that the City workers helped us out and took care of most of the hard work beforehand. Thanks to The Source, C1RCA, and Element for hooking up loads of prizes. Here are some photos from the day:
