80 feet in 2.5 seconds not bad.

This is a spot in about 25 min from downtown Erie, PA

Nothing like building a skatepark in 70% rain and cold. I think we each got electrocuted  over 5 times. The wood was 3 days late and the concrete pad was 5 days late on a 14 day build. We pulled together and worked 14- 18 hour days to get it done on time, but next time I will plan for set backs because I really wanted an extra day to shred and fine tune the park.

I have heard good things from the skateboard instructor at the camp and I have received some really positive e-mails.

Thanks Med O Lark for the opportunity.

Listen to my words and if you have any questions feel free to ask. The wedge was moved closer to the bowl and I am very happy about that because it flows much better now. I really enjoyed building this skatepark and after every project this is always improved insight for the next.

Thanks again to Camp Med O Lark

I don’t know why I do it to myself, but I always seem to ride when I am almost to sick to walk and get out of bed. I guess a day off from work deserves an attempted shred session.

This has to be my number 1 favorite video. I love the vibe and it was all done in less than 40 minutes. The big question that people keep asking is how did you get the speed for that jump. Simple answer; Push like hell.

So I started to film this video and had such huge hopes for it. I got alot of flack because “Mountainboarding is for mountains not skateparks” ( stupid slow ogre voice) Well Let me tell you…. I started building a large jump in the woods at Penn State. It had two hand rails a jump with a 25ft gap and a wall ride made out of 4 doors we found in the trash. I started to film the big happys skatepark bit first because we had already made plans. I ruined my knee and was out for about 3 months. When the contest deadline was coming to a quick finish I went to the outdoor woods course I made to find that it had been smashed to pieces and half of the features were taken out of the woods (I would assume Penn State Maintenance was Informed) This killed my heart and soul. I needed more footage and the only viable option with a bum knee was the skatepark.

Sorry it couldn’t be dirt
I tried
