Grind Boxes - here they come

Very soon - all over Ulverston - I'm hoping to here the sound of hammering as young people make these very simple and highly desirable portable platforms on which to practice their tricks.

Ulverston used to be famous for Pole Vaulting as the owner of The Town Mill in Mill Street practiced to become National Champion; vaulting across the now buried Town Beck in The Gill.

Now, inspired by, Tom Bowden of Working Class Heroes, youngsters will become National Champions of Skateboarding.

These boxes can be made out of scrap wood and are ideal to help beginners develop their skills.

If you don't know what a grind box is . . . .



you soon will!
