Halfpipe Gets A Blue Plaque

Ryan also explained that the team have installed their own ‘blue plaque’ to commemorate the importance the ramp has for the community.

"The halfpipe could help young people flourish their skills and if you pardon the pun help them take their talents to a higher level of riding.

"Even if it keeps just one young person off the streets and getting in to crime and negativity then our job is done,” he said.

"The campaign for me was more than just the skatepark it was about fighting what is right and what is wrong and making a groundbreaking, positive change within my community." 

An official ceremony will be held on Sunday, October 2, at Norton skatepark from 10am to 4pm to mark the opening of the ramp.
