Pools & Parks (4228 Posts) Topic Message Forgot to mention... On 9/8/2004 knucklehead wrote in from United States  (68.232.nnn.nnn) The San Francisco skatepark is kinda wierd and funky... but fun! On Tuesday nights, starting around 6pm the older skaters show up for a session. They string up lights and session into the night. The park is on Geneva, near the Cow Palace. Here are the directions: From San Francisco take Highway 101 to the Bayshore Blvd. Exit, and head south. Make a right on Geneva [west], and a little more than a mile down Geneva on the right is the Crocker-Amazon Playground. The Skatepark is in the northeast corner of Crocker-Amazon Playground.     Rate post 180990 !

Oh, bring your helmet. www.concretedisciples.com has an extensive park list. While in Santa Cruz, check out Derby Skatepark and be sure to go to the new Marina skatepark. Less than 1/2 an hour from Santa Cruz. Also check out Redwood City, Sunnyvale, the skatepark near Cow Palace in San Fran, Berkley, Novato...     Rate post 180985 !

Are there any maps or lists of parks on the web? I'll have a car and will be travelling around SF,Berkeley, Palo Alto and Santa Cruz. I'm looking for places that have good flow for some old school carving. Also I'm looking to find some good skate shops to check out and buy some new equipt. including longboards. Thanks.     Rate post 180874 !

The Arlington park opened, we skated the Southeast pool for the first time AND we took him to our secret crazy hill and found out they just repaved it. I commented that the previously pot-holed hill was now a world class hill for DC and he replied "That's world class anywhere" His Cali presence blessed us indeed! Anytime Bro, anytime.     Rate post 180865 !

I was planning on hitting the Vans park Saturday and Sunday, unless Arlington is a go. Then I would split up the days accordingly. John, I'll call your cell #. I live in NorCal (Monterey area), and skate Marina, and Vans Milpitas. When I was in DC in June, the Plug skateboard crew was sessioning Vans. Good bunch to skate with!     Rate post 180010 !

On 8/30/2004 knucklehead wrote in from United States  (68.232.nnn.nnn) I will be in Pontiac, MI on Thursday Sep 2. Plan to skate the Novi Vans in that evening, but it is bike night. At my local Vans (Potomac) they will let you skate the pool during bike sessions. Is that true for the Novi Vans? Thanks!     Rate post 179624 !

I also included a nice little rant about keeping the park free to use, free of bikes and unsupervised! Maryland need to adopt the limitied liability law like Virginia has. Why does 98% of the Maryland town and cities that operate skateparks feel like they have to "make a profit" from the skaters?     Rate post 178987 !

On 8/20/2004 John Dillon,Team Fun wrote in from United States  (208.197.nnn.nnn) Yo folks! Just a couple more weeks left to fill out this survey and help plan the design of this new skate park(concrete,thank-you!) to be built just east of Washington,DC in the city of Bowie. Since they are making it harder to find the survey, here's what you do...and please do this so when you come to visit DC you can slip away from the tourist crowds and go skate nearby...vote for roundwall! Here's what you do: go to website www.cityofbowie.org on the left, click on CITY PARKS scroll down to Bowie Skate Park click on online survey then fill out the survey! It's OK if you live out of state or outside Prince George's County, they want your input...let's not allow another dumbed down skate park be built...go for big and bold...it'll be dumbed down to what we can all live with, but we cannot allow it to be dumbed down to something we cannot live with! Get my drift? Thanks! Peace!!     Rate post 178448 !

The park in the pic is a mile from my house - Gaps, Milford, CT. But by October we will have a public outdoor concrete park with a snake run into an 8' deep bowl....oh yeah and some street stuff, too...I think. That will make our town Connecticut's skate-mecca.     Rate post 178445 !

Looks like a nice ride, I am kind of flush on 36'' to 40'' decks(i have 5 now)but I like it so I want it. Skip deserves to sell some decks anyhow. I can't find it at any of my usual online suspects so help would be appreciated.     Rate post 178361 !

I was in Breck last week with the family (unfortunately won't make the race, though!) and got to skate the parks. AWESOME. Breck is small, but it has a nice snake run into a 10' deep bowl. concrete. Silverthorne, just down the road, also has a nice park with some pool coping and tile. Downtown Denver is Awesome. Boulder was great, too. They have really done a great job on the front range with free concrete parks for us old guys! Carl Kincaid knucklehead pool service     Rate post 178351 !

My other fav on the longer side is the 38" Alva American Band Aid. The SMA is 36", 18.5" w/b, 10.5" wide, 7" swallow tail, 8 ply, kick nose. Real comfortable ride - gentle concave. Skip did this one right! And yes, I am possessed by the devil.     Rate post 178319 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
