I'm a fourth grader and I like skateboarding. I read about the history of skateboarding. I'm interested in having my own skate park and I call it Street Geek.

Park setup for Eddie
On 4/16/2006 Lazlo wrote in from United States  (24.7.nnn.nnn)

Them bones wheels are pretty soft(85a) for smooth bowls, get some 97a OJ 3's or Cowboy Punk Black Plagues, they are fast and still have great grip.
If its really smooth, SPf's
That deck should work just fine, I love 34'' decks myself. Get some harder wheels and some good, quick turning trucks like Indy 149's and hit it up.

More info on Sarah!
On 4/2/2006 Eric wrote in from United States  (71.254.nnn.nnn)

"Heres a bit more I've been posting around.

Sarah Burgess, a valued member of Portland's skateboard advocacy community, sustained a severe head injury on Thursday while skating an indoor park here in Portland. "Severe," like pool of blood, unconscious, convulsing, paramedics strapped her to a board and took her away in an ambulance to the trauma ward severe. "Severe," like she could have died severe.

Here's a forum link to the full story...

http://www.skatersforpublicskateparks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4837


She's gonna need some help folks, and she deserves it-she's raised thousands upon thousands of dollars for parks here in portland, and her video-screening-as-fundraisers have been duplicated all over the world to great success. She gives back to skateboarding in ways that few others have. To put it simply kids, Sarah is a f#@!ing soldier, and skaters everywhere should know it and thank her for her work.

I visited her in the hospital today and when she heard about the outpouring of support so far, we all got a little teary-eyed. Skateboarding is family, and all of us at SPS won't forget that.

We've set up a page on the main SPS for Sarah, and you can see it here...

http://www.skatersforpublicskateparks.org/sarah/


Please, take a moment to send positive energy/prayers/a slappy session on your favorite curb/etc her way.

Thanks for reading, and keep a good thought for Sarah.

If any of you companies, bands, etc. out there want to donate product,time, etc. for an auction, please let us know. We're planning a benefit show for her here in Portland, so get in touch. Lance from voxx shoes has already stepped up and offered some autographed shoes, Jonhhy from endless grind has donated a deck autographed by the enjoi team, and more messages keep coming.

Do what you can, even if it's just sending her some encouraging words via a comment or message on our myspace or the forums. Every bit helps.


thanks for reading,
From The Desk Of SPS Folks


PS. You dont have to just donate thru giving products or online, You can go by any Bank of America and donate a few to "Sarah Burgess Medical Fund” "Even 5 bucks will help out, Seriously All of us have 5 bucks and if we could just even put that up it would help. So do it.

(Please Repost as much as possible)"

Skatepark Advocate Needs Our Help!
On 3/31/2006 Eric wrote in from United States  (71.254.nnn.nnn)

Saw this on another site but by helping her we are helping our own! Please give generously...


Hey Guys and Gals...

Fellow SPS skatepark advocate Sarah Burgess received a serious head injury yesterday while skating a indoor park in Portland, OR. She was doing a 50-50 on the mini and slid out, falling into a concrete pillar. She was wearing a helmet, but received a huge gash on her temple and now has some skull damage.

Sarah has been instrumental in getting Portland, OR a real public skatepark. Portland has over 180 baseball fields, but only 1 skatepark. Sarah's efforts are going to change that. In addition, Sarah has been helping communities across the U.S. get their first skateaprk.

She is a full time student w/o insurance. If you have some extra $, send some to her medical fund.

http://www.skatersforpublicskateparks.org/sarah/

Thanks!
