According to the organisers, scooters are a great way to get started and build confidence in a skate park environment and great fun for birthday parties and youth groups; and on Saturday skate, scooter and BMX taster sessions and lessons are led by experienced facilitators to suit individuals and groups whose members are beginners or who are wishing to prefect their tricks.
“Rosy Skate Park, Rosy Surf School, Urban Vizualz, Urban Vizual Arts (Community Interest Company) and Movin’ Music Academy have combined efforts to offer a unique urban arts and sports experience,” owner Ronan Harkin said.
“Groups and individuals can customise an event or programme to suit their needs, featuring skating, scooters, BMX, surfing, graffiti workshops, street art, DJ and music production workshops.
