SINGAPORE: The Alley-oop, Shuffle and Revert are just some of the extreme skateboarding tricks you can see at Singapore's first international-standard skate park near the East Coast beach.

Singapore's National Parks Board said it is the first of its kind in the region.

Future Tony Hawk wannabes can check out the three skating bowls which seamlessly join up to form a larger course.

The skate park caters to both beginners and professionals.

And of course no skate park would be complete without some features for extreme BMX bikers.

Kong Yit San, director of Parks, National Parks Board, said: "Frankly, everybody who has the guts can use this park. But we will advise people who come here to use the park to know their own levels and understand their own limits." - CNA/vm
