awww man im so jealous. if i had an indoor park i wouldnt be pulling my hair out right now. im gonna have to find some parking garages around here cuz i need to get on a board. how much snow have you been getting?
Sweet. Personally I don't like the weather here at all this time of year...it ranges from 92 to 12 degrese, and it happens fast. But I guess it is better than snow.
I am currently working on getting a $400,000 park built in my town....if you have time this is a good site for public skate parks across the world...I am not really a park nut just a old tranny skater from the 70's but I also have kids that skate so they sucked me back in after 27 years off a board....but with all the cool parks that are being built it is bringing
back lots of old dudes that have not skated in years....just 3 weeks ago too the kids with a frind and his kid to houstons new park and skated it booked a room and hit another park in galveston down the road.....it's really fun to skate with my kids as well as being the coolest dad in the group...hahahahaha......
Thanks for the comments....have not long boarded very much....grew up in a small flat texas town with no hills so we skated ditch's and ramps...then stopped in 1981....then my kids started skating and they also started to build skate parks in my area...so after a 27 year lay off I am back on a board.....I have a group that I skate with that range from 36 to 50 years of age and are all better than me.....but I am having a blast...my you tube page for more homemade videos...
