I'm curious to know how old this park is and what plumber designed it, and also chose to put it where it is. Due to the interesting obstacles there must be a lot of injuries. Add in the fact that 200 kids skate the park at the same time, with five-year-old girls on scooters flying around, and you have a dangerous situation. The Team had no problem adapting and finding some stuff to skate there, even though I heard some kid say "they're not even trying."
The whole thing was very family-oriented and that's a good thing to see in skateboarding, especially an hour and a half north and three highways away from Tampa. Thanks to Mike Pate and whomever else was responsible for letting us cruise with little interruption and for giving Skatepark an opportunity to represent.
