the redbull X fighters !

MCYS and NParks today unveiled the concept design for the brand new Skatepark at East Coast Park. Incorporating a beach front setting, this will be Singapore?s first international standard Skatepark to cater to extreme sports enthusiasts

[1] The Plaza Section contains a mix of real street obstacles, including various stairs, rails, ledges & hubbas. There is a real mix of heights to enable progression and cater for various abilities.

[2] The Park Section is designed to maximize flow and lines. With a mix of hips, extensions, jump boxes and pyramids, this section covers all the park requirements for both day to day and competition use.

[3] The Bowl area includes a number of linked feature bowls which create a major transition zone that will attract significant international interest.

As i was riding along ECP yesterday evening, we passed by this bunch of skaters and cyclists inside this sealed off development of the nparks! it was really what i thought it was! omg omg omg! it's a full scale skatepark with slopes ramps and bowls! it's has finally been built to the delite of most skates and bikers in singapore!

was awesome to see how the riders really have a platform to perform and train with each others. should really head there for some shots someday soon.

credits to sigg from clubsnap forums for the following photos :) it was the redbull X fighters that performed on saturday night at a spot just in behind the singapore flyer. the singapore flyers was the backdrop for the event as expected.

there were some insane stunts that we done over the small ramp which was designed by the riders themselves. they even did back2back backflips! it's a rare chance to catch such actions in singapore. actually it was the first haha.

some random shots from me and potato dear. singapore flyer photo :D

the usual sight of how singaporeans whipped out their cameras to take the photos hahaha.

some hoots of mine over the week. due to some unforeseen circumstances that happened to my stock brakes.

i had to purchase some parts which costs me about $220 in total :eek:

Shimano LX 9 gears cassette. Shimano LX chain. Shimano Deore Shifters. Renati Hairstyling Ahesive. Canon 5DmkII thumbdrive. Topeak Comp 130 Speedometer.

my cute cute canon 5dmkII 2gb thumbdrive. though it costs $28bucks, it's still quite a bang for all the details involved and its quite useful hahaha.

oh yeah, potato dear and me went for a short cycling trip to east coast park on sunday evening. just cycled about 30km in total including travelling there and back. my butt hurts quite alot but no idea what's the reasons. the ass just hurts! should really train up to cycle more or adjust my saddle properly.

distance stated by the speedometer.

some random stuffs bought by potato dear and left at my cupboard for quite some time. a pair of shaw movie tickets given by my older brother :D
