The very first time I started skating in Kuching City I was attracted to this area somewhere near Maong Village. It’s a large and nice commercial area packed with 4 stories buildings, a very nice and strategic place to skate and gather around for skateboarders around Kuching City. Maong Village is where my brother live in with his adopted family and I used to live there myself with my family when I was 8- 10 years young.
One day my nephew and I went to the area with our skateboards and give ourselves a try with that place. It’s indeed a nice place to skate along since it has large and smooth spaces and surface, wheels friendly I must say no matter if you’re skating with small or wider wheels.
After a while, I invited some of my friends to skate at that place and we begin to love the place day by day. So, we decided to build a flow skate park on that place as our members are getting bigger in amount. Well, my brother has joined the club to become one of the flows. The park started with a simple bank with two big cylinder oil tanks as the main base. It was immovable but since there are no other passing cars, we had no problem of letting the bank stay beside the street the whole time.
After sometime, most of the skaters all around Kuching City started flowing in that place and all I can say is that was our golden era back in the year of 1999 till 2001 and that very time was the most memorable and exciting time in my skateboarding life, ever. Most of the time we skate with regular stance or fakie and had no ideas about switch or nollies. All we know is how to enjoy ourselves skating no matter what tricks we can do.
