OLD NEWS
6/10/04 - Whiting's park is sick!
Very specific in what is offered, you won't be getting any street skating in here. You will get all levels of tranny though- more than many will ever be capable of conquering. Plenty of kooks around too, bonus!
full
review soon
On the opposite end of the spectrum we have Park Ridge: prefab, manufactured metal ramps no higher than 5 ft. tall.

6/02/04 - Whiting Indiana's new skatepark will be having it's grand opening on Saturday the 5th. It was built by Grindline and looks to be tons of fun. There will also be some skate related art on display nearby. Contact Full Circle Art Supply for more info: (219) 659-0901 ask for Kathy. The address is: 1405 119th Street, Whiting Indiana.
Allright, I've been watching this for awhile but it's time to make sure everyone sees what's currently happening... More here.
Can you imagine any other group (think sport, not like the KKK or something) getting this much flak, even when offering such generous solutions to the City's concerns?

05/18/04 -Highland Park's skatepark is finished, it's official grand opening was held Saturday, May 15th. I'll get photo's of the completed park in the next couple weeks, until then know that the picture below is most of the park. The only additional equipment added are two in-ground flat rails (one square and low the other taller and round) and some simulated benches (high and low also).

03/15/04 - Highland Park is tearing down the existing skate park and putting in SkateWave!?!
Why
do city and park district officials keep doing this? Why doesn't somebody
tell them these parks are crap? The problem is by the time it's public
knowledge, the deal's usually been done.
Anyway- I'll keep you posted with the progress.
03/08/04 - So Triple R finally went under. Thanks to Tom and Jeff for their support of Death-Grip! Rumor has it that they donated the bowl to the city of Chicago...
Also look for some of the ramps to end up at C. Ron's. More news on that soon.
01/20/04 - All right here's the deal: There's a lot of stuff underway contrary to the way it may appear by my lack of news updates. I'm not going to go into it piecemeal here, you'll just have to wait until I get it formatted for proper presentation. REMINDER- for stickers send $1 and self addressed, stamped envelope to:
