yeah haha, dont say no prizes to other companies, cause the more prizes, the better chance of everyone taking something home with them

I agree, at ukr1 everyone went home with a pack of rip and it was sick! the more stuff the better Especially as everyone is of different ability and some might not be able to win comps etc.

this is what i was thinking.....cos you know if its all about skill and winning comps/trick lists, Eddie is gonna take the lot :lol:

yep^
ask alot of uk companies haha

zone tape,
blosom decks
maybe harvey? he has loads of g2 haha
Jw, but kerry already mentioned him
fusion possibly?
i might have missed some haha

then the ones such as close up, mitt, brr, cuatro? that'd be sick, airflo?, hard knox etc

Well i asked flatface and I highly doubt that i will get a reply, but its worth a try

Skaters:

There's a shitty little skatepark right around the corner, but you could go into Davyhulme or Urmston, where there's bigger (but still shit) ones.

Full of chavs probably, danny can just take his board and snap it over their heads tbh.

I really want everyone to go home with something, I'll see what I can do

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I doubt flatface will sponsor but its nice to hope tho, Maybe there might be a chance Maybe ask Creekwood
shitty skatepark sounds cool lol, chavs are gay

I say if Eddie enters any of the competitions he has to use his other hand.

As for Flatface... I think Mike will sponsor it. He's legit and he has plenty of money haha, he's always handing out free stuff to people. It's too bad this thing is called Cyclone Syndrome 3 though, it doesn't sound as legit as UK Rendezvous. Whoever's asking companies to sponsor needs to make it clear that this is the main English meetup.

lmfao, last time we went to the shitty skatepark round the corner.

full of little 'chavs'

I will spam your pages with another thread soon, when the event is absolutely confirmed.

It's being held at the school that my Mum works at, and the head teacher has confirmed the school is available on that day. But, we just need to check with the caretakers that they will not be taking a break on that day (most likely not) and if they are, we're very persuasive... :twisted:

Always wanted to make a few points to Kerry if he is totally confirmed on this, I hope you do realize this is just a school hall with a bunch of tables full of obstacles and a big mini?

Also, I have a surprise for you guys... I've come to the conclusion that everyone on FBHQ for being so supportive, will get free entry to the event, I'll pay all costs

And free Haribos and shiz ofc. (As people that went to CS2 will already know... - When Danny went out to the shop and bought his own haribos, ignoring mine. Haha)

This thing's happening lads, hope you're prepared.

And also Kerry, my mother was actually going to offer you a bed at our place, but we're afraid we have no vacancy :< bless...

Sponsors:
Big thanks to Eddie for contacting Redemption and No Comply! This means I'll begin the contests. I was deffo planning on a game of S.K.A.T.E one like last year, and I was also thinking a Big Mini run contest, and a street contest!
Also, thanks Kerry for hoping to get in contact with all the others! Please inform them that prizes won't be necessary, just promoting will do!

Thanks for the support,
Harry.

You make it sound like its a small event? At the end of the day, its meeting all you guys, aka some of my best friends, and getting to do what I love, fingerboarding. Who cares if its tables with ramps? sounds fucking awesome to me. And a big mini? <3 Its as small as we make it with the atmosphere and fun we have, not the place. If we all have a great time, it'll show, and seem as great as going to rendevous or something!

Thank your mum from me, thats awesome of them to even offer I'ma get a travelodge though, should be good Hopefully people will be up for meeting the day before and such? I get to manchester like early/mid afternoon or something. FB sesh/chillout/skate? I'll bring my board, so I'm deffs up for skating.

Not to be rude, but, can you confirm 100% that it will be happening asap? I'll get onto sponsors tomorrow or something, but yea, I don't want to book a travelodge, which is nonrefundable if you get their cheap rooms, and then find out its not happening. Thats 65 quid gone bye bye if that'd happen.

So, yea, I'll send out sponsor emails tomorrow. Obviously will be very polite, and say that any support they can offer, be it a mention, a few stickers as prizes, or even something more, would be greatly appreciated, and will help the UK a lot, as this is our only big event, and we hope to get it more and more popular

This is gonna be awesome, but, at the end of the day, as awesome as WE make it. So lets hang out lots, have lots of fun, fingerboard, skate if we want to, and just have an awesome time. Film lots too, so we can showcase how great an event is was to the rest of the world, to help put the UK on the map.

Thom, any chance you could make up flyer without the date on it just so I can have something to show companies when I email them?

kerry should be awesome to skate with you

@Kerry - We're asking tomorrow, so I guess it'll be confirmed tomorrow!

Thanks for all your support Kerry, it's appreciated

Thanks for the encouraging words too!

Circles are examples of where sponsors shall be placed!

thom, you need more circles

thom, to be blunt, thats sick!

THAT'S EPIC THOM.

+ Danny is right haha

Kerry is contacting every single company in the world. o.o

jk

BUT SRSLY

Harry, make a time table of the contests and such, at UKR2 it was sooo fucked up, nobody was whatching / knew there even was a contest happening!

Also make a list of people who are up for judgeing, Its better to organize it all now than on the day.

Kerry, maybe a UNITE shirt would be a good prize? also get at me if you need picking up from the manchester train station, send me a PM or something

And lastly, whoever films, when it is put up on youtube, maybe make sure the descrpition has the sponsors site links, If there helping us out then the least we can do is show support by giving them a mention!

I'm pretty shit at the actual fingerboarding stuff, so I could just watch/judge.

I'm gonna be getting the train, then someone better come meet me and show me the way <3

should be able to come, if my new deck makes it on time :@

da fuck!? 3 pages in a day? this an fbhq record?

It's pissing me off ha xD

I posted one update, 20 mins later, 2 new pages :O

also, for s.k.a.t.e, dont just do 1v1 matches, cause that took ages ar urk2 and CS2
divide everyone into 4 groups, then have 4 big games of skate, then the winners from each group go ahead, then its 1v1, then the winners of those play eachother in the final if that makes sense?

Great! And no worries, I'm glad to help out UK fingerboarding + whats gonna be a sick event + a chance to finally meet some of you awesome people. Really cant wait <3

Thanks for the flyer thing thom, I'll send that out with emails when I send them tomorrow. Airflo is an idea! David and me have talked before so he might be up for that actually.
I know, lets also ask frost! We'll get sponsor decks for cyclone 7, haha XD

Man you guys are making me want to go so badly! Its a shame i cant come
