R.I.P. miniLSP
LAST DAY: SATURDAY, 29 AUGUST 2009
1) We just got the official letter from URA, and we will have to get rid of the skatepark by 29 AUGUST2009.
2) We have lost a huge amount of money so we will be raising the skatepass to $5 per hour (It used to be $3 per hour after the first hour)
3) If you are using an Alien Workshop or Habitat deck, your skatepass will remain unchanged, which is $5 for the first hour and $3 per hour after that. Thank you for your support!
4) We have no idea where or when we will re-open as it is extremely difficult to get a location.R.I.P. miniLSP
If you want to book private sessions at miniLSP, just email or call us a few days in advance to make an appointment. The booking must be between 10am to 1pm Mondays to Saturdays, before we open for business. The rate is $50 per hour for up to 5 persons, and $10 per hour for each additional person.

DON”T GOOOOOOOO!!!!!
damn it!!! argh man…i was about to skate there soon….
wtf man? i havent even seen the place.god save the park.we should all should sign on paper to say that its best that we have it there..im sure signatures wldnt be too hard yo.
damn aunties at the neighboring shops are wack!
hahaha stupid lsp
Damn lsp was 1 of the best things that happened to me :,(
Well in that case I’m gonna buy loads of stuff and give as much money as possible
We should try I know you ’s idea :D
what are you guys ganna do with all the ramps and wood and stuff…???
I think they’re selling them
Its you again… #…. . Watch you words. What the fuck you mean by STUPID LSP. Watch it there.
There be a best trick contest this sunday at the Extreme Park East Coast. You guys are invited to take parts in several categories. Events start at 2 till 6pm. All are invited after 6 there be small party and bbq. Lots of food prize n lucky draw to be given away. And guys sorry to inform everyone we do not believe in charging any amount of cost for the above mention event. It is FREE! So guys be there for the fun of Skateboarding gathering.
Feel truly sorry for u guys.. I’ll give much support as i can..peace
who is organizing the comp????
k who wants to go pwn the other shops?
is there anyway we can help? like get a petition or something like that?
reading that post just ruined my day.
will the shop and chill area still be open? or are you guys gonna have to tear down and move out?
whoops i fainted after i read that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *faints*
Omg..
what time do u open in the morning? i want to go down there to skate at least once before it closes :(!
We open from 1pm to 8pm mondays to saturdays but you can book private sessions from 10am to 1pm at minimum $50 per hour for up to 5 persons, and $10 per hour for additional persons.
We will move out completely because there is no way the shop alone can survive and anyway our purpose is to make a skatepark, we only have a shop because it is impossible to survive on just admission fees.
There is no way we can get out of this via petitions or anything like that, we have clearly broken the law by building a skatepark inside a shophouse. If we do not get rid of the skatepark in 25 days i could be fined up to $200,000 and jailed for a year lol.
How much for the qp?
I’m seriously gonna miss LSP LOADS.
hey would you guys set up your shop somewhere else first ( like w/o the skatepark ) so we can still get aws stuff :D?
can you give some more detail on the contest this sunday
east coast skate park according to him.
it probably will not be hard to find….
such bad news…
Thank to everyone we shall see you at Ecp on national day
Hi barry/garry
Since the place has to be shut down why not do a good contest.
Didn’t you guys know more about this “buliding a skatepark inside a shophouse” thingy before you even started on minilsp? I mean you know this is bound to happened right, its singapore!
Respect the sprits of you guys but you must have loss a huge load here.
Good luck for future ventures, looking forward to them.
yes we will have some special event before we close but it probably will not be limited to a traditional competition. we will try to think of little games and contests so that everyone has a chance of winning regardless of skill level.
pop&drag: it was a risk that we took, and it would have been fine if not for the complaints from our neighbors and them reporting us to the authorities. there are tons of people who do not comply with all the regulations, but the authorities will rarely take action unless someone makes a complaint.
our downfall was underestimating the structure-borne transmission of the skateboarding noise and how difficult and prohibitively expensive it would be to solve.
hey guys i feel so sorry and i really liked the small park at the back.
anyways dont worry im sure if theres a will theres a way and when you succeed please tell me where you guys are so i can skate with you!
man i am going to miss lsp
man i learned my drop in’s when i skated at lsp…it was like my second home…gonna miss it..
gonna miss miniLSP. i haven’t even tried the new rail yet :(
oh man! this couldnt be happening right…. :\
it’s sad that such a great idea and effort has been brought down. i’m glad i had a chance to skate it a few times.
best of luck with the remaining time and future plans. barry and gary had my support the whole way.
only one question:
will you guys still be running the store, or will that be gone too?
I learned my first drop in there!!! I’m so gonna miss it!
make a battle at the lsp! like battle at the berrics so we can enjoy our last days
get a warehouse , its way cheaper than a shophouse [: make it ard toa payoh ind or something
That really sucks its really too bad gonna miss mini lsp tones hope ill get to skate it one last time. im back from france the 14th
Find a new place near OFS!!! and i only get to skate it one more time till school starts…..
Anyways what are u gonna do if u dont find a place?
oh and i bags the quarter pipe downstairs lol.
whens the contest thingy dingy?
I’ll miss the place… :(
hey is the shop moving everything out on the 1st septemeber or will have to close few days before the 1st?
ppl i think there keeping the ramps and stuff just incase they can reopen
hmm i thought they said they would have to remove the skatepark totally?
are u guys gonna sell the parts away or store it somewhere?
please at least have the shop! if the bike shop next door can do it so can you!
the bike market is huge, thats why there are like 200 bike shops in sg, compared to like 5 skateshops. And anyway we are only a skateshop out of neccesity (we need the money to survive) and our only goal is to make the best indoor skatepark in sg. We are not interested in being just another skateshop.
we will have one final goodbye event day thingy on the last day which is on Saturday 29th August.
everything in the store like ramps and stock we will most probably keep it in storage somewhere and use them again when we get a new location. The online store will still be operational tho.
Damn, wanted to buy the qp.
im so happy you guys are still having the online shop… its lk the cheapst skateshop in sg
How much is the narrow miniramp? My mum said I can have a miniramp when we shift houses.
so sad..
We do make custom skateboard obstacles and you can email us for prices
wtf………. i really liked that place
i really hope u guys find a new spot to re-open
for what its worth youre not just another skateshop, you guys are the cheapest and best value for money skateshop and are actually good skaters too. it was nice to know you guys tried to do something great for the skate community.
its sad that we will lose such a great store, i loved buying stuff from lsp cause i knew you guys always did ur best to sell stuff as cheap as possible.
best of luck in the future
on the 29th is the ecp skatepark x games thingy so the last day of lsp and that are the same day
LSP is more important than ecp. Gary, do you mean that you guys will make the ramps and stuff for us when we pay?
yea its too bad the dates clash :(
matthew I mean we sell custom made ramps, grindboxes, rails etc.
complaints complaints complaints.. thats 99.9% singaporean know how to do.
