Tiki Room’s Welcome to Winter Competition
On November 25th in Regina, SK, the 16th annual “Welcome to Winter” skate competition is taking place. It’s about a 7 hour drive, but is there really anything else going on, skateboarding-wise?
As a bonus, the Tiki Room will be premiering the new Girl/Chocolate video, Pretty Sweet.
Winter Skating Dos and Don’ts
There are a couple of ways to deal with not having an indoor skatepark in the winter.
The first one we don’t recommend:
The second one is much better, but unattainable for most.
A company who wishes to remain nameless has built their own private facility for staff. Their marketing manager says, “It’s a fully private facility and is on an invite-only basis. It was created for employees to embrace the new generation of active and healthy lifestyles.”
Where to Skate This Winter?
Winter is here and it’s terrible for skateboarding. Especially in Calgary. We have no indoor skatepark. If you want to skate this winter, here are a couple of options:
Skate Church at Dalhousie Community Church – 5511 Baroc Road NW
Every Tuesday night, the church opens up their gym to skateboarders. There are a bunch of small obstacles: flat bars, boxes, benches, manny pads, etc. Helmets required. Admission is $2.
Incline Industries – 4425 50 St in Sylvan Lake
Open 5 days a week. It’s a good park with all the obstacles you’d expect in a skatepark. Check out their Facebook page for photos, admission info, and hours.
