Sorry for the short notice but the county did not give us any time to get this info out there. This Wednesday at 6:00 there is a meeting at Sawmill to decide on the future of the skatepark. With budget cuts going on in the county the skatepark is on the chopping block, this is your opportunity to have your voice heard and save your skatepark. I know that the county councilmen are trying to blame this move on litter and spray paint, we all know thats a pretty lame excuse and that spray paint and litter are everywhere. We also know that there are plenty of tennis courts and other parks around that are nicer, cost more and do not get the use that the skatepark has gotten since it became free. I am working on a presentation for AA county to not only help save the skatepark but also improve it. I will not be able to make the meeting but I will have some people there to represent this shop. I have stats from the Bowie skatepark that show how many AA county residents are using the park there. I know I am not the only one that can not make it to the meeting because of the ridiculously short notice but I will be spending a lot of time trying to help this pathetic situation. I hope a lot of you can make this event if you cant please talk to someone who can. I have seen this type of thing happen in Bowie before and the end result was more money for the the old skatepark and then the new one.
Sorry about how long it took us to get demo footage up, so without further adieu:
After the game of skate Mike, Robb, Yuk, and I rolled up to Bethesda and had a little manual session. After a few hours and getting trapped in a parking garage we finished up the night with plenty of manuals.
