EXCITING NEWS!
CJ Skateboard Park has decided to expand its mini ramp section! We felt the need to add something different. We are almost ready to open our new 6ft mini ramp with concrete pool coping! The ramp should be completed in a matter of 8 days! (We will also have a 2ft portable extension on part of it as well)
C.J. Skateboard Park & school would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge our new Team Manager, Josh Fine and helping him will be Richie Kuhn, who will now be running our CJ Demo Team, and Competition Teams.
There have been many changes in our Pro Shop lately; we have recently received an order of new Helmets. We now have many new colours and styles of helmets, and have more sizes of the previous ones as well! One helmet in particular, which has been selling fast, is the New Spitfire Helmet! Come in and have a helmet properly fitted by our staff. While there you can check out all of our new products, including branded stickers, and a larger wheel, bushing, truck and hardware selection. Now running our Pro shop and looking at bringing new items in will be Tanner Chrishop.
We have also been making changes to our parent lounge! We now have a new big screen TV, Blueray player, and entertainment centre. We have installed a wireless extender, so now you can receive wireless internet throughout the park and Surgically Clean Air, has donated a shuffle board table to the parent lounge as well!
