Skatepark De Douai - Le reportage - Tl films

Hello, my name is Martial Loué My name is Florentin Marfaing I introduce to you Pascal Battistion I introduce to you Julien Bouvier Then Jacques Venier, mayor of Douai Hi, this is Sylvain from ABC Skatepark, I'm 40, I ride for 25 years There is an area of grass, it was the perfect place. The architecture which blends with the surroundings. The budget has been voted in 2011. The Council has given its consent. The Commission may adopt it. There was funding of 15.000 euros from the General Council We have worked on it last years A first one in wood a long time ago, the problems only progressed and became worse as he aged. A second one, a little concrete plaza in the suburbs. And now, a big one located in downtown Douai. Today, it's the youth festival with extreme sports, this is a cultural and musical event. There are a lot of skateparks created without skateboarders, it's seems disproportionate I see a lot of kids seems to be motivated. Anyone can play and enjoy the game, you know what I mean. The park continuously creates new generations of skateboarders. It is special, the tricks must be adapted, there are some curbs, citybanks, ... The most important thing today, to ensure the continuation of the park, concrete is simply the best way to protect soil. So, how to design a skatepark? Listen to what the skaters have to say because it concerns and affects them. The architects must be aware of the needs of skateboarders. It's my first skatepark, I have been struck by the high-tech construction. The first step is to dig hole in the ground, marking out the division plan and earthworks. and finally the formwork. We need high quality corporate bonds for pouring concrete. I feel the outcome has been very satisfactory. There is a floating separation between the two concrete blocs of the skatepark. Amazing bro' We try to help city councils with our association and life experience. We travelled around the Europe and saw the various skateparks. We help to choose the good solution for the city. And it is totally free. I'm proud to be there, because I was involved with developing a plan. Initial expectations relate to use "quarter pipes" or a "bowl" because there was none in the north of France. Le first project was too big for the city (600.000euros) Today, the bowl is so rad, with a nice "coping". it works great. The coping seems like american pools. The park is easily accessible for all levels.
