One Movement Contest in Barbados
8/24/2018
The 9th Annual One Movement Skate Invitational contest went down this past weekend on the beautiful island of Barbados. Chris Haslam was invited down this year to help out with skate clinics, a mini ramp demo and, of course, spend a few extra days to relax and enjoy the Island. After about ten years of pushing to get a public skatepark on Barbados, it’s finally happening. The construction of the first skatepark on the island started last month and the concrete crew from Artisan Skateparks are expecting to have it finished at the end of the year. The skateboard scene in Barbados is looking bright, and hopefully some of the neighboring Islands will follow suit. “Ting it up” and see you next year! —Rhino
