My wife and I are coming up with a plan to have an indoor skatepark built in our local community. There would be an opportunity to include a skate shop as well. Although the main focuse would be to incorporate all aspects of skating inside the park ,some suggestions would be a bonus. I Have two mini ramps(5 ft. by 16 ft. and another 6 ft. by 20ft. with an extension on one side) that would be sick to include,but I’ve been skating street for nearly 20 years,so of course i’m going to have a nice hubba ledge and some stair sets/handrails etc. I want this to be on the cutting edge of skating today and for years to come! So, for any major company to help with this project or anyone that’s passionate about skating…….contact me!

I feel your pain seth, but in the opposite way – in denver it seems like all we have are skate parks with massive bowls and crap. Really, it is not 1970 anymore…we need a skate plaza. The only people riding the bowls are the skate dinosaurs that wouldn’t be on the streets pissing people off anyways. Then you get like 50 kids trying to skate one ledge , with no one in the bowls. And, in the end, I am yet to find a well made public bowl or halfpipe. People just don’t get transitions…

Maybe SLC and Miami should trade a few city councils. Here in Utah they build tons of tranny parks (there are about 10 within a half hour of where I live), not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it would be nice to have some bonafied street stuff, like maybe a single decent flat bar somewhere.

Good article, but I would hate for anyone in the miami city council or whatever to read it, it would be a shame if they built yet another street only park down here, leaving us still two hours away from roundwall.
