Three Short Items About Skateboarding

posted by on April 24 at 12:27 PM

1) There are two Seask8 skatepark design meetings coming up next month:

Thursday, May 8, 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Shaw Room in the Northwest Rooms, Seattle Center, Seattle, WA

Thursday, June 5, 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Shaw Room in the Northwest Rooms, Seattle Center, Seattle, WA

So add those to your calendars. There’s also a lively discussion on the designer’s message board
about the features skaters are looking for. Get in there if you’ve got any ideas.

2) The Woodland Park Skatepark is almost finished and the city will hold a grand opening for the park in mid-May. A final date hasn’t been set yet, but it’s likely to be the 14th or the 21.

3) Kids, “skitching” is a bad idea.

Unless it's the Genesis game, "Skitchin' ", of course.

Skitching is fun when someone's holding on to your bike! Or when you're on a bike, holding on to a bus!

Skitching rules!

But you really need to do it with a real pick-up truck on the flats or have a friend on a bike.

My brother Dave did it for years and other than his proclivity for voting for Bush, he never got hurt from it.
