Did not get the grant. Everyone pretty much went over the skate parks. Trail projects were the ones that got the money. Pretty ugly since there is a separate grant for trails already in place. Burned out on this project. What if we get the work…

Drove over to Sunriver- Cool place for family/bikes. They need a skate park there! Anyway the presentation was good. We don't have our old City planner, so working with the intern was sooo much easier. She did a great job with the presentation…

COMING SOON!

I've been toying with the idea of creating a repository of suppliers, builders, techniques, practices and methods for creating skate terrain over the last few years.
