Catching up on the updates

Back again during my well-deserved 3-day vacation from work to keep my word and add a skatepark a day – I just put in two more so I have to add in 8 more still today to be right on time *laugh*. Let’s see how far I get today! Here’s some quick news for you guys:
- the Playground skatepark in Aurich, Germany looks like it could be closed in the near future. The new city mayor has decided that there aren’t enough events happening there to support investing money for getting kids off the streets and into a cool sport. Hope the skaters down there can get something moving and save the park. If you want to support them, you can write to city politicians and tell them to support skateboarding (might help if you speak German 
ask me if you need something translated! I’ll help out!)
- Since I am adding in skate spots around Europe, I won’t start concentrating on single cities yet (this is a feature for the future so that you can road-trip it to a city, like Paris for example, and find all the spots for that specific city instead of just one spot…this will take time though so bear with me!) Anyway, here’s a link in German with a lot of spots in Potsdam, Germany:
So I’ll get back to it, I have a few spots to include still…

Expanding the possibilities
December 12th, 2006 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Slowly but surely I am getting the needed features added in here and I’ll be adding at least one park/spot every day now to make sure this keeps growing. That won’t be too hard as I already have a list of spots, but I will be scouting out the Net to include as much information as possible for each spot. So if you are offended or if you don’t want a picture to be seen here, then just give me a shout..I’m not trying to prove what a nice site this is: it’s supposed to show where you can skateboard in Europe and how to get there, period.
So, instead of explaining why I am doing what, I#ll just continue adding stuff in here.
Later people, Jonathan

And yet again Europeskate has another look and feel to it, a bit too clean at the moment and little graphical work, but the most important thing for my was to get a system together which can grow in the future, include the visitors opinions and feddback, allow for community growth and most of all, keep it simple for me to keep including new skate spots.
And this has finally come together as I have been able to figure out how to implement Google Maps with the posting feature in Wordpress. This is just the solution I have been searching for. So now I have to go back and take the 27 parks I had, integrate them here and start letting everything else grow.
During thistime I will try and develop the best possible solution for extending the information about specific cities in Europe and hopefully offer the users of this site an easy-to-use search system for finding articles.
But I’m off for today to the final game of St. Pauli’s football team before the winter break…it’s getting cold, it’s raining, it’s Friday night…perfect way to start the weekend!
