    voted. hopefully if this thing gets built well take a road trip up there. it looks HUMONGOUS in the plans! also, if you dont get the funding, i wouldnt give up. i helped build a park here in Philly with all donated labor which saved alot of money. You should talk to businesses near where the park is gonna be built to get funding, as it will bring more people to their area, especially food stores and mini mart/gas station type places. The pizza place across the street from our project was smart to donate money, because once it was finished their business doubled. they could probably sell nothing but gatorade and water in the summer and still pay their bills.

     

    I'm guessing your talking about popps? we swung through there saturday night...super fun park.

    yeah thanks for the support folks. Phase one is being built regardless and will be done in july. if you looked at the rendering phase 1 deals with the street section up to the "stage", or the stair set with a roof. Hopefully we get some backing and the construction of phase 2 & 3 continues, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting the pepsi grant.

     

    and a small contribution to the thread. heres a little clip i made of mostly digi cam footage from last year.

    Thanks for the votes and thanks for pointing that out sneekatoke. We started this thing off in third and held it for two weeks...then just watched it drop and have been stuck in eleventh for a while now. part two of the field ops is up on the berrics and explains a little more about the park.

    I haven't been to this site in years and hate to leave spam as a return post but...

    My city and local shop are currently building a skateplaza. We have funding for the first phase and are diligently trying to get support/funding for the second and third phase. Right now we are trying to win the pepsi refresh grant that would make it possible to finish phase two and are in need of votes to do so. the plaza is an hour from philly and an hour and a half from ny. you can check out the project at www.homebase610.com or check out the field ops on www.theberrics.com. if you have a second to lend a vote you can do it at http://www.refresheverything.com/bethlehemskateplaza. Thanks for your time and any and all help is appreciated.

    Well... i learned axel stalls and 50 50's. I learned rock to fakie and rock and roll. I learned nollie pops and fakie pops. What should I go for? preferably not 5-0. thats giving me a hard time.

     

    frontside rock and rolls, frontside 50-50's, basically frontside tricks in general. Thats always my hang up on transition anyways, i learn all the backside tricks because they are more natural then it's hard to learn things frontside.

    Just got back from the local skatepark and the grumpy old man in me finally surfaced. Nothing worse than eating shit on what is usually an every try make just because johnny scooter champ likes to mosey around the flat bar...not doing "tricks" mind you, just cruising about and gawking at the "big dog" scooter scoots trying front flips over the fun box. And while a front flip on a scooter is, i'll admit, a fucking amazing feat. It's still nothing one should aspire to, let alone gawk at while other people are trying to skate. I'm talking grown men on razor scooters. That said, heres a little article on skatepark etiquette that should be printed out and posted at every janky skatelite (sp) park in your area.

    and in line with the above posts. It's all about cotton dockers regular fit...in with the out. jeans no matter what size are uncomfortable.
