Shaun Scarfe at Four 1 Four Ltd has been working hard to get the Resi here on time and he has done well, it arrives on Monday! (don't even ask him about the customs/taxes/VAT crap nightmare bullshit that he has had to wade through to get it in to the UK, but it's done now so good job Shaun). The Resi Frames are up and virtually ready for a surface to go on. The Main Vert ramp is now taking its last surface which as you can see from the pictures is going on diagonally and we are taking our time to get the sheets fitting perfectly so that the ramp feels reallly smooth and fast.

the surface is 6 mm high grade Birch (sounds like a perfect drug!) so it's going on well.

I just want to say a big thanks to Mandy at Corby for making this happen and a big thanks to Rew and Trev who have been working non stop to get the ramp finished and looking amazing!.....even if I have been giving Trev some stick for some slightly wonky cuts....only kidding Trev!

I will be testing the Vert as soon as we finish the last surface to make sure there are no bumps or odd spots, there shouldnt be as we have checked and re-checked the ramp all the way through the build to make extra sure the Vert is spot on.

The news is that the ramp will be open on December the 8th, there is going to be live bands and an official opening. BMX day is Saturday and skate day is Sunday. I will send more pics when we are putting the resi together. Any Vert riders that want to come and session e-mail me asap.

Tickets are available at the park and online through E-bay very soon.
