Transgression Park moving to Ozone Action Sports in Dalkeith They wanted to give people who preferred solo-sports the chance to soar. It was this desire which Transgression Park was born out of. Scott Fairgrieve is one of the directors of the community interest company Transgression Foundation CIC, which was founded on the basis that any money made through the not-for-profit skatepark gets put back into the development of facilities. His love for extreme sports was reignited when he watched his son enjoy his first ride on his new BMX at Livingston Skatepark 13 years ago. Memories of how much he had enjoyed the thrill of the sport came flooding back. He fell back in love with it, bought a new bike and has been riding ever since. On January 6, Transgression Park will open in their new home at Ozone Action Sports in Dalkeith. This will be the third move for the company, which launched in Ocean Terminal in 2008 before moving to 10b Kings Haugh in 2011. With each move, the park has increased in size. Phase one of the Dalkeith move The new skatepark includes a beginners area and a resi ramp for riders or skaters, who want to progress onto bigger tricks. It has been designed for all wheeled sports including, BMX, mountain biking, skateboarding, freestyle scooting and inline skating. It is part of a wider launch of the centre which will also house Ryze Edinburgh's Ultimate Indoor Trampoline Park, East Coast Riders - who supply and repair service of road, mountain and BMX bikes - a hall for hire and a cafe. "We really like the site we have just now, but unfortunately it is just not big enough to put all the training facilities in that we need," Scott said. To take your extreme sports to the next level, you have to have air bags and things like resi ramps. We looked to try and redevelop our park to make that happen but it was just not feasible, it's not big enough. The new places will have better facilities so it is all for the best to move. We've got this massive new indoor skatepark with cutting-edge ramps and all different things that are new and fresh. It has been designed so you can be a beginner or advanced, young or old, on a scooter, skater, inliner, BMXer, mountain biker. It has been designed to accommodate everybody. Phase two of the Dalkeith move The new skatepark, which has been built by O Zone Action Sport, will have more than 50% extra space to their current location and a lower rent than it currently pays, a combination Scott is hopeful the not-for-profit company can use to expand their extreme sport dreams. "For phase two, we still need to do a bit more work on, but we are basically hoping to put in a mini-velodrome," he said. A velodrome at Olympic levels is a 250m track - we are wanting to put one in that is 125m and is slightly less steep, more mellow, so more people can use it. If you want to go along and race a bike around Manchester and Glasgow, you really have to be skilled. He also hopes that in the middle of the velodrome, they can build a roller derby rink and a pump tack, which is like a BMX track but is more suitable to people of all ages. "It lets everybody of all ages get used to riding a bike up and down curves and hills so that you can take those skills to the skatepark," Scott said. The velodrome, pump track, dirt jumps and all the external stuff could be a couple of years until we get proper designs done and find the funding for that. We have quite a lot of plans for this to become the cycle destination in Scotland. But like anything, we just have to do it one step at a time. New Transgression Park from Transgression on Vimeo. Transgression Park will remain open at the current Craigmillar site throughout the Christmas holidays and will close on January 5. The new Transgression Park is expected to open the following day. Meanwhile, planning permission and funding has been secured for a £250,000 skatepark in Easter Drylaw Park. "There are a lot of kids who don't like team sports," Scott said. If you don't get picked, it is horrible. With extreme sports, it doesn't matter how good you are, you can all have the chance to do it at your own pace and own speed. There are a lot of free skateparks out there, but you can only ride them half the year. When it is damp and cold and dark they can be dangerous. We also run a zero-tolerance on drinks and drugs so we have safe and secure facilities where kids can come and express themselves. You can have a five year old and a 50 year old both taking part. I have been that kid who never had any money to ride my bike somewhere. It is all about trying to bring extreme sports to everybody.
