COPING FESTIVAL ROUND-UP

COPING 2021 was one for the books! 🎉 🛹 🎨

It's already been one month since @copinguk, our SKATE CREATE & WELLBEING 1 day festival hit Graystone!

The vibes were high, the skating was through the roof and we raised £3120 for our 2 charities (@thebenraemersfoundation & @thehorsfall_42ndstreet). Most importantly we raised lots of awareness around mental health and wellbeing.

A massive thanks to event sponsors @oakley and everyone involved, too many to name here, but needless to stay we're stoked to take our 2022 event to the next level! 🎥 @jakeowenpowell If you would like to get more involved in the event, please drop us a message.

If you are looking for any support or know anyone who might be, then both CALM & Ben Raemers foundation are always there to help.

WCMX and Adaptive Skate Jam hosted by former World Champion Lily Rice

On the 21st August the 2021 UK WCMX and Adaptive Skate Jam takes place at Graystone Action Sports in Salford, hosted by Women’s’ WCMX World Champion Lily Rice.

WCMX or Wheel Chair Moto Cross is a new para sport that involves taking your wheelchair to the Skatepark and doing tricks on it. This year we are also reaching out to the community to welcome Adaptive Skateboarders that would like to take part.

The aim of the Jam is to get like-minded people of any age together that want to experience skating whether in a chair or on a board at one of the UK’s finest skateparks. Participants will need to bring with them suitable safety equipment such as gloves, elbow and knee pads and a helmet and their own wheelchair/ Skateboard. Equipment will need to be mechanically sound.

There will be Spotters and Pushers to assist riders should they be required.

Book online via the Graystone website. Select the 21st August on the online checkout and the Jam appears under the “open session & events” tab.

We look forward to seeing you here!
