I am trying to visit every skate park in Las Vegas, Nevada, in hopes of getting ideas for building a skate park back home in Davis, W.V. So far I have hit up 7 in three days, and I hear there are 26 or so, not including private ones or backyard pools.(not to mention the sweet ditches that are dry and totally rippable)
With a few hikes and morning runs I can say I am sore, but I go to sleep satisfied. I awake early excited to discover new parks, meet new people, and rip. I have skated on and off since a little one, and I am slowly progressing. Just watching these Vegas kids shred is awesome, and I learn a lot from them. Most that I have met are genuine people/punks, that I would gladly call a friend. I skate a Sector Nine board that is heavier than a trick deck but half the size of a longboard. The big wheels roll over any bump or crack in my way, and the old school shape makes me feel retro.
This blog is a way for you to see skating in the great Sin City, and also a way for me to document my adventures shredding the concrete waves.
I think we need a designated place to skate board back in Davis, W.V. When I return home I hope to raise money to have a skate park built so that kids can really learn to do one of the most fun and challenging summer sports; skateboarding.
