  • It's great to see footage from all around the city. I think one of the obstacles in uniting for this cause may be that there are a lot of young skater don't have a ride. They depend on someone else to get them from where they stay to wherever the potential park is located.

  • @VAskater10 The ymca isn't that bad. it's a local park. it's probabley the best one in a 25 mile radius. Just live witha few cracks.

  • aman

  • There were demos held at Laurel around 2000, the park attendant kicked the team out in the first 5 minutes of the demo. Every county around Richmond has disregarded the opinions and input of the skateboarders at critical points. They are more interested in showing they are doing something than actually filling a need. This trend goes back to the building of the bowl at laurel 1989. The counties don't care if the facilities are ever used.

  • @takepills is holly still skateable?

  • why were no demos ever held at laurel skatepark? or were there ever any?

    also is the Bowl in a grauge or something, and who is actually in charge of designing chimbo? his/their name(s)

  • Do you have a facebook page for this? I can suggest it to over 2000 people if you do, alot of them are pros.

  • Hippoland is still good but kind of sketchy now buuuutt... Now you can Go to HOLLY STREET PARK off Holly Street in OREGON HILL!! it's new and awesome :) BRING YOUR FUN!! also bring your ramps, rails, or whatever else you can find too. If it's built crappy it will be recycled tho.

  • the y is absolutely horrible. they still make you pay, and on hot days like theses, the stuff they use to "fix" the cracks melts, and my wheels get stuck in it. x-zone, horrible. the roc, is okay for being free. we need something to skate.

  • my uncle told me about the bowl at 3:00
