Adam Cassel Needs a New Skatepark

 

Cassel is no stranger to the Western Newfoundland skate scene. He’s been holding down for the P-dot for a long time now. Driving Peterbilt’s full-time, Adam is still in the streets holding his title as one of the best to come out of our region.

That bank is waaaaaaay steeper than it looks. Give it a try if you’ve got it in ya. Tight edit Dru.

“The second in a series of Skateboarding Videos featuring local skateboarders, filmed in Corner Brook to raise awareness that a new skateboard park is needed. Sideways Boardshop and J.Osmond Design partnered up to bring a series of ads and videos featuring local skaters showing their support for the cause. Adam Cassel throwing down on a steep bank.

The judges did not have an easy time.

It’s always amazing when to see things never done at the park before  get busted out at the contest.  The best part is watching new younger guys come out of no where while the older guys I’ve skated with and watch grow up, kill it. The contests get better and better every year. Now just imagine if we had a concrete/plaza style park………

Corner Brook definitely needs a new skatepark.

Huge thanks to all the companies/people who helped out like Supra Distribution, Mehrathon, S&J Sales, Fist Fulla Fives, J.Osmond Design, Rips Chips, Life in Color, Geoff Park, Geoff Byrne, RoNiN Photo, Jordan Bennett, Dean Christopher, Dru Kennedy, Karl Windle for the flatbar, Josh Keough for the box, and anyone else I may have forgotten.

Thanks to all the parents/spectators/competitors. It’s great to see everyone come out and support events like these.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to support the local skateboard scene. It was a lot of fun for everyone involved. Full results, pictures, and details to come later today. Big thanks to all the sponsors, judges, and helpers.

The park will be in the best possible shape thanks to Marble and the Terrain Park Staff. So far this year they have kept the park and it’s features in amazing shape even with the difficult weather we’ve been having.

Get up there and get some runs dialed, the competition is going to be FIERCE.
