Anyone fancy giving me a hand moving the Halfpipe from my garage to the back yard? Its currently sitting in 2 pieces in one half of the garage as the Exige is now occupying the other half!

Free session for anyone whos interested!

Same here, I haven't skated for years, but I still got a full set of teeth so can spare a few!

I'll give you a hand Scott

Used to skate (the inline variety) and do all that stuff about 10 years ago. Bought myself a new pair last summer and only used them twice so I'll dig them outta the garage.

Should've said, when were you thinking? I'm free all this weekend if that's any good.

Its just a micro ramp as I was restricted with headroom in the garage, so perfect for folk having mid life crisis (me) and those who havent skated in a while!

Im going to order some wood to build a sub-frame this week and hopefully have it in place before next wknd, ready for the transitions and flat bottom to be bolted on.

Ill keep everyone posted. If the weathers good ill get the BBQ going.

Just placed an order for 94 metres of timber

Ill try and get the sub-frame built at nights this week, so it should be just a case of trying to get the frame level, fitting the transitions, putting in a few cross members and screwing down the surface!!!

Everyone still up for it then!

In return for any help Ill slap on a BBQ - Any budding Joiners are welcome to join the fun!!!

Hows everyone placed for Sun 13th? (Scott watches as everyone back tracks...)

Sounds good to me, although I don't think I'll still have my car by then so I'll have to see if I can blag a lift, if anyone's going from/via scummers. Brewskis/cake/pastry goods in return of course!

Don't think I can do Sunday

Could do Saturday for a while though until about 4:30.

And does that mean you've sold your car Ben? If so, hope you direct the buyer to here

Geezer's coming to Scummers tomorrow to sort out the moolah, so providing that goes smoothly then no more car.

'Course I'll direct anyone interested in Elises here, tis a great community!

Looks like the session will have to wait as my wood still hasnt turned up (ooerr

). I did however manage to get the ruddy transitions out of the garage with a lot of sweat and tears, however I didnt manage to slap wood preservative on them before the ruddy rain came down

will let peeps know when this is a goer.

I am just a couple of miles away and can cope with general labour duties pretty well.

Dont really work at the weekends or in the mornings, or on mondays, and tend to be finished by 4pm all the rest of the time so can probably be flexible

Balls, got nae car now. If anyone's going from/via Scummers and wouldn't mind giving me a lift then I'd still be glad to help though!
