Chai Wan Skateboard Park, Hong Kong Winter Session 

Now that the weather is cooling off here in southern China, a group of us teachers and students decided on a skate trip to Chai Wan in central Hong Kong near the public swimming pool side garden. This wasn't the first time we've been there, and this time was just as fun as the first visit. The park consists of a micro ramp, and a street section with a shallow mini pyramid, ledge, and mini spin. All the surfaces are covered in Masonite, and they are all in excellent condition even though the park is a few years old.

Our group consisted of people who new nothing about skating, to people who had competed in competitions. The weather was absolutely perfect and everyone had a great time. This is fun park to try new tricks and just kick-back. On the way out of the park, are some brick bankers on a downhill street. This is always a fun way to end a session. Afterwards we all headed to the Flying Pan for an old fashioned American breakfast. Shawn and Adrian had a contest to see who could finish their meal. I'd have to say Shawn was the winner pounding his kitchen sink meal.

Lost & Found Ramps and Launches Review 11/12/2002

One of the few companies out there making portable ramps is Lost & Found. I didn't get a sample ramp for review but I did do some research on their products. They have a wide variety of ramps ranging from a full 6' half pipe to portable mini launch ramps, rails and boxes. What makes Lost & Found different than other ramp companies? Besides the wide selection, they give a choice about what surface you want either Skatelite or RampX. Both of these surface materials are great for the outdoors especially in the wetter climates. Another cool feature is that the non-stationary ramps are easily movable due to the addition of rollers. Finally their products are modular so you can join them together to create cool obstacles. Unfortunately since I didn't get to personally check out any of the ramps I can't tell you anything about the craftsmanship, but from what I've read they thought of everything including tempered steel street edges and rust proof screws. If you want to find out more about what Lost & Found has to offer check out their site at Skateboardramps.com.
