House comp 2008 September 13, 2008

To those of you who didn’t manage to make it to a rather messy night in May: It may, just may, have escaped your notice that it’s the House Skatepark’s tenth anniversary this year. That’s ten years of dishing out good skating, verbal abuse and fizzy pop to our beloved skate community. And the festivities continue at the House’s annual comp on Saturday13th September. The House is celebrating this landmark with the unusual one-off prize of a TEN YEAR PASS for those scooping first place in our 12 and under, under 16 and 16 and over competitions. This means a decade of skating absolutely free to the fortunate few who prove worthy. Yes, we’re that confident we’ll still be here in 2018. As for the pros, you’d think they get enough already, but just to be fair we’ve upped the pro cash prizes to £400 for the winner, £200 for second place and £100 for third.

All this excitement aside, it’ll be business as usual. The park will be open from 10am- 9pm and it’s £5 to enter, skate or spectate. Connoisseurs of fine food will be delighted that Masterchef will be serving up their usual ‘curry in the carpark.’ And there’ll be a chance to find the answers to those questions which have baffled mankind: Will Calow get pissed and insult everyone over the mic, will Oli be out of plaster in time to wreck himself all over again, will Smedley finally crush the opposition after years of trying? This year’s comp is being supported by Shit Skateboards, Death, Blueprint, Unabomber, The Harmony, Karma Skateboards, Stereo, South Star, A Third Foot, The Story Store, Avit Skatestore, Plan B and Jones Soda.

Be there to find out, or look back in your dotage on a life lived badly.
