Building on the success of last year’s event, The War Of The Thistles returns in 2007 on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd April.

Details are still being finalized but the first day of this weekend of carnage is going to be held Scotland’s newest indoor park in Aberdeen (so new it’s not even finished yet) on the Saturday and Dumbarton’s Unit 23 on the Sunday.

Go to either of the two parks’ websites for more: Aberdeen park – www.transition-extreme.com

Dumbarton – www.unit23skatepark.co.uk

Keep your eyes focused on the forums at either skateboardscotland.com or the venerable sidewalkmag.com for updates as they happen.

This is the Scottish equivalent of the War of the Roses event so get off your arses and get up there. The Scots turn up at every event in England so let’s see a similar level of commitment from all you Sassenachs.

See you there!
