As you guys noticed, I’ve been posting content that has nothing to do with food in recent times- because there is some BIG & IMPORTANT stuff happening on this island!
The DIY skate gully is progressing bit by bit. And pls take the DIY part literally- because it’s really a group of friends, 1 mason & money pitched in that’s driving this project. Recently we’ve received few contributions too and we also got some exciting news today- but you’ll find out later 😄 The project was also featured on TVJ Smile Jamaica yesterday morning! .
However to build the “complex” type obstacles, a little more funding will be needed. There’s a crowdfund that’s now set up - with a modest goal- that can help take this project to the next level. The link is in my profile.
While I’m a huge supporter of street & urban culture, this is really about the IDEA of transforming spaces. Of transforming a non functional abandoned gully that could had become a sewage treatment plant (with the sewage water feeding straight into the sea?!!?!) to now a DIY skate park- that will also happen to be the first skate park in JA. It’s about supporting these young people who blow me away with their determination to not wait- and just get things done. It’s about trying to create a culture- even if skate boarding is not a “big thing” in this country. Most of all- it’s about doing things for the right reasons 🙂 , Gio, and those showing up to get the work done .beckford.art you guys are just awesome. .
If you’d like to help us make this happen- please see link in profile. Also be sure to check out updates on stories. Thank you!! 📸via
