following developments of south parks skate develpments a jam was organised by maccskate and flowskate to get the park some exposure and celebrate its opening. Leo Oppenheim compared for the event but the rain doused the event early on.. However, a jam continued the session late in the afternoon and a great event was had by all. Check out http://macc-skate.blogspot.com/ fr details of upcoming skating events in the macclesfield area.
Leo Oppenheim gained his ICP level 2 on the weekend of the 8th of may scoring highly. This puts leo in the niche category of high level ICP certified instructors in the UK. Leo is looking forwards to doing his level 3 which is the highest qualification possible with the ICP and will assist him in becoming a better rollerblading instructor and put him in the position to qualify other rollerbladers up north and expand flowskates skate instructing abilities!
