miniLSP The End

Published by Gary at 12:55 am under News

lsptheend.jpg

Saturday, 29 August 2009 will be the final day before we have to deconstruct the skateboarding areas at miniLSP due to legal issues.

We shall end it with a fun day of activities such as games of S.K.A.T.E, Best Tricks, Tic-Tac Races, Best Dressed, Quizes, and other random excuses to give prizes for.

Admission will be $10 for the whole day 1pm to 8pm, be there or be square!

In case you are wondering, the store will remain open for some weeks or months due to rental obligations, but the skateboarding facilities will be gone for good:(

  19. wantashoeon 25 Aug 2009 at 9:48 pm

    hey. is the price include shoe?? cause i really need a shoe either size 6 or 6.5. im gonna sacrifice myself for fasting to go there

  20. Garyon 25 Aug 2009 at 11:48 pm

    the activities will probably start at like 3pm or something, sign ups will start when we open at 1pm. if the place is packed and we have filled up all the slots we may start the activities earlier.

    the game of skate will be flat ground, and we plan to do best tricks on the miniramps and other obstacles if time permits.

    because we cant just terminate our lease in such short notice, we will have to stay for like 2 months more or so. In that time, the plan is to keep the shop there. And have the unstairs area just a free space for people to chill.

    the online store will of course remain and we will probably have more time to do deliveries.

    as far as new locations for a skatepark, we have a few options but all of them carry huge risks in terms of the rent and initial investment. The fact that miniLSP failed and lost us a lot of money is also very discouraging. We do now realise just how small the skateboarding market is in singapore and how fierce the competition is. We have always strived to keep our prices as low as possible, while being wary not to piss off other skateshops. But the truth is, the way rent is now it is absolutely impossible to survive the way we were doing things. We are gonna need a lot of time/luck to find a do-able location for the future.
