The Greenland street experience




Okay readers get yourself ready for an unreal skate experience!

The drum and basin project at Greenland street Liverpool is simply awesome! I visited for the first time last sunday with Neil Danns, Jake Roberts and Dave Arnold. There's a family sized kidney shaped bowl and a 40ft fullpipe. Its all set in the modern art gallery. When you walk in you are greeeted by a nice clean cafe (something unusual in skateparks) Then sign the waiver and pick yourself up off the floor as you see the fullpipe and the bowl which is suspended on stilts!!! You can walk underneath as people are skating and appreciate how this thing was put together.

Its free of charge!!! Yes free of charge. The only thing they ask is you dont skate around on the floor between the bowl and fullpipe. Its for insurance purposes. Theres a nice cafe which does good cheap healthy tucker. This bowl and pipe is going to be there till April 2008. So get moving

The project Greenland Street is open Weds - Sunday 12-6pm. Late night Thursday until 8pm.
