COPING FESTIVAL ROUND-UP

COPING 2021 was one for the books! πŸŽ‰ πŸ›Ή 🎨

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 Β£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! πŸŽ₯ @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.

PARK RUNS

460e64cd-99e6-4789-92d5-3c4421bf55b5.jpg

PARK RUNS pits 16 local heavy hitters against each other in a completely empty park to skate in a comp format that challenges them both mentally and physically πŸ’ͺ All PARK RUNS competitors had just 1 hour to learn a line, lock it down and then film 1 complete run. The skaters had no idea who they were skating against, or even what terrain they’d be skating. Word from the wise ... skating for 1 hour solid, under this type of pressure is T O U G H !
