Trickstation Grand Opening

After years of saving and planning, and discussing, and searching, and searching, and searching, I've finally found the right place. And after months of drilling and hammering, and buying and installing, Hong Kong has finally got a place dedicated for tricking, and practicing flips and acrobatics. We call it Trickstation.

When I first returned to Hong Kong in 2004, I could not find a single place to practice my gymnastics and train new tricks. I recall calling up the Hong Kong Gymnastics Association, asking if I could pay to train at their gymnasium, but with no luck. A few years later I finally found a few places for training, but it was either expensive, or the equipment was somewhat lacking. So... the decision was made to make a studio that could cater for my training needs.

It wasn't an easy task at all putting a tricking studio together, especially in a place like Hong Kong. Cos for a sport like this, first, you need a lot of space. (This is already a challenge for a place like HK) You'll also need a high ceiling, padded flooring, crash mats and other training equipment.

I was lucky enough to find a suitable place in the Kwun Tong area, end of 2009. This is what it looked like - >< it's pretty scary actually...

After some designing, we began transforming the place

Carpet, mirrors and new windows were installed.

Then came the equipment

We haven't got everything we planned for yet... but it's a start!

The Trickstation team... Construction worker style!.. haha..

After the flooring and lights were installed, we can finally do some training.

We'll be having our opening party this coming Sunday (April 18th 2010) 2-5pm. If you're free, feel free to pop by and check us out.
