Bottle Drive

Skater Mike has set up a bottle drive at "Lou's Beverage Barn" to help raise funds for the new park. Lou's is located on Bangor Street right in front of Williams Park.
Here is all you have to do -

1. Bag up your empties and label the bags with the number 36. (36 is our account number at Lou's)
2. Drop off the bags at Lou's and your done.

You can also go in have them add your receipt to the account.

Remember - If you don't remember the account number just let the friendly folks at Lou's know that you would like the your recycle money go to the Augusta Skatepark Fund, and they will add it to our total. Once a month they will call me to come collect and I will update the blog on where we stand with donations from this drive.

You can go out and do bottle drives in your neighborhoods and towns and bring them to Lou's any time

Spread the word and lets get this park built.

Fall Skate Comp at "The Link"

The contest went off at "The Link" skatepark. A good time was had by all that showed up. We had skaters from Portland to Waterville and locations in between show up. Everyone that skated walked away with something. We even had 3 broken boards from the event. It may look tame, but "The Link" will eat up boards and skaters like nobody's business. I would like to thank our sponsors - Softrucks, Vox Footwear, Constance Clothing, Hoodlum Skateboards, and Cosmic Charlies for donating prizes for the event. A special thanks to "The Link " for opening the doors so we could have the event rain or shine. A special thanks goes out to Casandra who did allot of baking for the event and had a table set up with food and drinks. We even talked her into entering the contest. For a longboarder she did great.

Beginner - 1st Tyler Landowski , 2nd Davis Ballou , 3rd Justin Ridlon

Intermediate - 1st Garrick Ridlon , 2nd Mike Luber , 3rd Gregory Belz

Advanced - 1st Elias Simonetti, 2nd Chris Peterson , 3rd Elijah Ackerly

Best Trick - Josh Gallant for his Frontside Flip over the hand rail

We raised a couple hundred bucks for the new park and I thank everyone that came to the event and supported the cause.
