WSA_: “Lets Talk About Feelings” Art Show/ Ipath shoes WSA Fundraiser
By: wsa


On the last day of the WSSF Bind Mute Productions and Crispin Lipscomb put together an art show in Function Junction. Blind Mute took care of the artists and Crispin decided it would be a good idea to get a bunch of white Ipath shoes that could be painted and then were auctioned which raised a total of $725 for the Whistler Skateboard Association. The event had a good vibe and a whole lot of sweet art from over 50 different artists. Thanks goes out to Pepe and Randy at Blind Mute Productions, Crispin Lipscomb and all the artists for making the event possible and thinking of the Whistler Skateboard Association.

WSA_: Creekside underground bowl resurfaced with Skatelite
By: wsa


THE WHISTLER
 SKATEBOAR ASSOCIATION

For Immediate release:

After an incredible amount of work on the part of everyone from organizers, fundraisers and especially our team of highly-skilled and highly-motivated builders, The Whistler Skateboard Association is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Creekside Underground Bowl, fixed-up and resurfaced with over $4,000 worth of Skatelite, a durable material that should last for years to come.

After the initial success of the ramp last summer, it was made awfully clear that standard ramp-building practices were not enough to withstand the incredible amount of use a ramp of this nature, in a town of this nature, would be receiving. The decision to resurface the ramp in Skatelite was an easy one, securing the funds to pay for the new materials has proven to be a lot more challenging. But with hard work and perseverance, goals can be achieved and with the use of funds raised through past fundraisers, as well as several key “donations/loans”, we were able to complete this long overdue task.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in The Whistler Skateboard Association as well as this past weeks build. Thanks go to Whistler/Blackcomb, especially Brian Finestone, The Resort Municipality of Whistler, The Rotary Club, Lawrie at Rona, Kyle and Rick at Snowboard.com & SkateboardVillage.com, Mike at Garf’s, Phsea at Daily Slice, Kyle at New Line Skateparks our lead builder Dean and all of our builders who put in a ton of time and effort this week.

On behalf of The Whistler Skateboard Association,

Lenny Rubenovitch      -President
Dave Murphy              -Vice-President
Brian Hockenstein       -Secretary/Treasurer
