FEBRUARY NEWS

3/10/08 As you have already noticed we have a new website. I have always had problems with the old site and the software I used to edit it with. I finally had enough, and decided it was time to make a change. Dustin Fadler is helping me get things going, so as I learn how to use the new software the site will start to look more unique.

We’ve started changing the park! WE WILL BE OPEN THE ENTIRE TIME. I’m sure most of you have heard the rumor that I’m making the park entirely for bikes. That’s a load of bull. The new park design will actually be more “skate friendly.” There will be more lines than ever before. We’re changing the park section by section. We’re still back by the elevator doors. We’re working our way along the back wall into the bay door corner, and towards the bathroom corner. Hopefully, we’ll be done sometime in April. As we finish projects I’ll post pictures of the new ramps on the RAMP PICS page.

The All Nighter was CRAZY! Red Bull stopped by and gave everyone “wings” as they say. Shredders had me running for cover the whole night. I felt like I was in Hitchcock’s, “The Birds.” They also set up a killer sound system and a huge screen to watch DVD’s. IT WAS SWEET!

We have a new Ramp Riders skateboard wheel design. It’s available in 52mm or 54mm. $16.00 for 4 wheels. SWEET!

The proshop is STOCKED! New shoes, backpacks, T-shirts, decks, parts, you name it we’ve probably got it. If we don’t, we can order it in 3-5 days with NO SHIPPING COSTS! DON’T BUY MAIL-ORDER! SUPPORT YOUR SCENE! Buying your goodies at the proshop helps support the skatepark, and you get one on one service.

Danny Reise took it again this month. The pic is of Matt ? Check it out on the PIC OF THE MONTH page. I guess Ben Grant got his feelings hurt when he didn’t get picture of the month way back when, and he stopped sending me skateboard pics. Send me some skateboard/inline pics!!!! Email me pictures of biking, skateboarding, or skating; and I will choose one each month.

The Wee Man Bike/Skate Jam is going strong. Kassie started a 3-10yrs old only (we’ll fudge on the age if you or your child is a beginner) session on Sundays from 10AM-Noon, which is before the park opens. It includes a drink, snack, and a team member will be there to help the kids get comfortable with their bikes, boards, and skates. The session will cost $10. Bring your little brother or sister down to the park, and introduce them to some of the best hobbies on the planet! For more information email Kassie. Future Ramp Riders’ shredders are on the way!
