Projekts MCR is hosting a fundraising skateboarding competition at the City Centre Skate Park (Manchester) to raise money towards a £200,000 extension underneath the Mancunian Way on 26th November 2005.
The competition is slightly different to normal skate comps. Competitors must enter as a team of 3 skaters. Each team will be given a five minute section to show their skills to a panel of 3 UKSA judges.
Sections include Sponsored, Over 16's, under 16's, and Girls.
Teams can be mixed in any way at all but a team with sponsored skaters can only enter in the sponsored section of the event, a team with an over 16 must enter as an over 16 team whether or not all the team is over 16.

Prizes (inc. cash prizes for sponsored skaters) will be awarded for Best Trick, Best Skater, Best Female Skater, Best Team and Best Slam (AKA the Spoon Prize).

Sponsors include Crème, Heroin, Unabomber, Death, Distance, Projekts Skate Shop, Bench and Manchester City Council.

Entrance to the event is £2 which goes to the cause.

That's a really original concept for a skate competition. If I was any good and had some friends, preferably whom were good too, I would seriously consider entering

Sounds cool, if I had any skill I would've entered.

Is noone putting together a sk8uk team?

Depends.... Anyone want to represent Sk8uk?

That would be bloody brilliant, actually I'll see if i can somehow get there...

If I wasn't completely wack at skateboarding I'd suggest that you me & Loz enter a sk8uk girls team

Shush, you're better than me
And aye, sounds like an alright idea, however i'd completly embarrass the hell out of myself.
Loz and you are pretty much legend at skating, i can't skate at the best of times let alone in a competition

What're you talking about, you three are well good! You'd make an ace team

I think Thom, Neil and Dignam are putting together a team of three, but theyll have to enter over 16s (since thoms 17)

Im all left out

i cant get the day off work - which sucks coz i reckon i can put a badass team together!! id drag "the youth" (Alex.B from St albans) dirty Darren (sk8uk) and me! but meh - damn work!

we should have a sk8uk comp in summer!!!

OR

GET THIS!

offer out a couple of the other websites for a jam!!!!

Becky if we need a team of 3 can you rope your mate Kerry in?? I'd go if you're up for it.. I fucking 'ate parks but it'd be a larf.

Do that, that'd be an ace team!

Sk8uk comp sounds good, didn't understand the second part though...

He means SK8UK vs Streetskater for example. That could get messy...all that testosterone...eesh.

"streetskater" thats a gay sounding website? is it aggressive or recreational?

You decide - it's in Manchester...

I don't much care for Manchester skaters, they're all street or die types

went to the last comp was pretty good.....might pop along to this one

me and my mate neil are entering this comp, we cant wait, should be a blast

we just need to find our third skater then we are sorted..

Its so obviously me!
