Demo Day Photos

We had a great turn out of about 30 plus skaters, bladers, BMXers and families to the Skatewave ramp demo this week. It's just amazing what a quarterpipe and a bank can do for the park. So amazing in fact that we'll be having a build day in August to build our own for the temporary park. In the future we'll be raising money to purchase some equipment from Skatewave. Thanks to everyone for coming out to support the demo. Thanks Skatewave for letting us skate your awesome ramps...one day we'll have our own Skatewave ramps!

Steve Hill, the director of Crossville Parks and Rec came out to see the last half hour of skating and was impressed. We're working with Councilman Loggins and the City architects to see if we can get a park included in the new $2million soccer complex going up this year.

PLEASE CALL YOUR CITY COUNCIL REP OR MAYOR GRAHAM AND LET HIM KNOW YOU WANT A SKATEPARK. This will really help our efforts. We have a small window of opportunity to make this happen. So pick up that phone.

Keep checking back for details on the build day and keep the dream alive.
