They refuse to give up and strive for a joint solution to advance the renovation and support the skateboarding community. Discussions are being held with the city and other potential partners to explore alternative financing options and get the project back on track.


Conclusion:

Together, they fight for an adequate renovation and a modern facility to sustain skateboarding in the region in the long run. It is hoped that the city reconsiders its decision and provides the necessary resources to meet the wishes and needs of the skaters.
