On March 5th and 6th 2011 from 11am to 4pm, the Skate Park at dlr Leisure Services Monkstown will be home to boards, bikes, blades and beats for Gravitation 2011. 

Watch the power and skill of skateboarding and BMX displays and marvel at the speed and agility of expert bladers with cool hip hop beats. 

Internationally recognised names representing Indy, Unabomber and Boarderco, including Al Hooi, Conor Manweiler, Mark Dolan, John Kelly and Mark (Snowy) Brew will test their skills.  The MC for the day will be Dyl.

Gravitation 2011, hosted by DLR Events, is an initiative by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and will feature demonstrations by experts over the 2 days at the state of the art Skate Park at dlr Leisure Services Monkstown.

The skate park will be FREE to the public to test their skills and experts will be on hand to provide tips throughout the event. 

The aim of the event is to embrace the wide selection of alternative sports and urban culture in Ireland and provide a platform to showcase boards, bikes, blades and beats at their best. Please bring safety helmets & safety gear.

There is much more to follow on the 2011 calendar from DLR Events. Join us for some wacky Easter fun at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in Deer Park on April 24th. Outdoor Movies in the Park will return to The People’s Park in Dun Laoghaire on the June Bank Holiday weekend.
