It’s official: our new Avignon skatepark is open, just in time for the Christmas holidays! A look back at the opening day on Sunday, December 20.
We’d been eagerly waiting for it: Constructo architecture handed over Avignon skatepark at the end of December, and it opened straight afterwards!
Thanks to everyone who came despite the bad weather. The rain changed the original program a little, but it didn’t stop the riders enjoying the park between showers!
Umbrellas, soaked boards, squeegees at the ready, muddy griptape… Despite it all, the party was on!
After the official opening with the mayor at around 11 am, we did everything we could to dry the park, but the demo was postponed because of the rain. Present were Eric D’Argent, Robin Fournier, JP Villa, Seb Matheron, Nathan Matheron, Antoine Laurent, Ju Benoliel, Max Cherarak, Victor Naves, Benjamin Friburgo, Noah Toro, Francois Giraudel, Nico Fernandez, Leslie Pigeot, Caro Colin & Roselyne Chan.
With very unsettled—if not downright rainy—weather, the opening quickly turned into a huge free session, despite the skatepark surface glistening with puddles!
That day, the park had been so eagerly awaited that nobody could resist skating it, despite the poor conditions. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the riders and everyone who came, the opening was a success!
Thanks to the DJs and Electro Roots for providing sound for the event right through to the end of the evening! And let's not forget Circle, Avignon City Council and Constructo!
The whole Old Skullz Skateboard team hopes you had a great day and wishes you a wonderful Christmas holiday!
We'll update you very soon on new club session times and upcoming events!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
