Of course it's disappointing that vandals have damaged Ventnor's skatepark (BTW - Can you help fix it up?) - but let's not be disheartened - There's some good news on the horizon for a much more secure future.
Theo Bridgeman filmed the stunt at Ventnor Skatepark to get a challenge going with Californian skater, Jeromy Green. He's managed to raise even more awareness for the Ventnor Skatepark project in the process.
