    The part that's great about this is that the park is so big, you're not forced to be around any troublemakers if there are any around. They really got it right. Some of the public cement parks, like I can't go to them anymore because I hate the crowd that can sometimes be around. Having your own space is so... so crucial if you can get it. And you want to feel safe. It's wonderful. It's beautiful. I can't wait to see it, will have to go visit sometime. Can't remember if I've been through Iowa yet?

    It's so cool to see how many new skate parks they are making I was in the San diego news paper once cause in my city we didn't have a skate park or any where to skate so we always skated at this park by city hall they made for the city but it was supposed to be a skate park back in 2005..... now there is one across the street right across from the middle school

    I skated here this summer and wow! It literally has something for everyone, if you are a professional or you just got a skateboard yesterday there is a section for you. The ramp shown at 4:16 , when I was there a guy flew up over that and smacked his head HARD on the ground with no helmet. Lots of blood. Overall a great park and like they say in the video the atmosphere is awesome.

    Interesting! The audio and some edits (like at 1:43) are a bit whacked though. Seems like the mics picked up the background audio too much, but then the music on top of that is making it messy. And the cut overlaping

    Nothing beats free range. Everything is becoming so sectioned and systemized. Everything must be controlled.
