On the 4th of April Route One will be covering the admission fee for seven world class skateparks so that you can skate free.

Not only will the parks be free, they will be sending riders from the R1 Skate Team to each spot. There will also be £12,000 worth of prizes & give-aways to hand out on the day.

Each session will be filmed and the edits will be posted on the R1 facebook page where you can then go and vote for your favourite park!

We hope if your a skateboarder and are from Scotland that you will be in attendance to support our park and if you cant make it we hope you will vote for us online.

***** PLEASE NOTE – These sessions will be SKATEBOARD ONLY!! *****

DO YOU THINK GLASGOW SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN INDOOR SKATEPARK?

Glasgow Life are thinking about building a new indoor Skatepark in the new Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in the East End of the city.

But before they can start work on this, they need to know if it’s a good idea in the first place and if anyone will come! So, to help us to find out, we need some volunteers who are able to give a couple of hours of their time on Saturday 21st February to talk to us about the idea.

If you are picked to take part, Chick is going to give you a free session on the day in exchange for your time.

Still Interested?

Come along to Unit 23 this Saturday (14th January) between 3pm and 6pm to register your interest. All we’ll ask you to do is fill in a short form with your details so we can contact you about the next session in February.

Futurescape Plus on Thursday 29th December and The Pulse on the 30th December are cancelled due to the holiday period.

Full holiday opening times can be found here
