    K Dub is the realest. I remember when Town park was some gnarly wood ramps full of splinters and holes. Watching the process of town park was inspiring and seeing KDubs influence on the kids was such a positive thing. That grand opening was lit that day. Damn i miss the bay.

    This is great. When I was a kid in CT, there was a small abandoned factory in the woods out in Hebron that became an excellent DIY spot that some of the older guys built. The floor was tile, so it was really smooth after it got swept out. I was pretty young at the time, so I just skated there without any part in the building. There was a masonite bank section from the old Playground park in Wallingford that got reassembled in the place. At it's peak, there was a full 4'x16' miniramp in there, but some assholes set it on fire and burnt down most of the building. After that you'd get ticketed if you got caught there.
