Burbank: Grind Rules 05.11.2010 I've recently had an epiphany. I came across a movie so awesome that I had to devote a whole two-part episode to its awesomeness. And since this is a blog about skateparks, I went to a park that is amazingly just as awesome as the most over-looked gem of the 2003 awards season. I proudly present Everything I Needed to Know about Skateboarding I Learned from Grind from Valley Skatepark in Burbank, CA. Go here for part 2. Mike V is Everywhere 05.11.2010 We got a cool shout out today from Mike Vallely's website in the "Mike V is Everywhere" blog. Blazing Arizona: OMA BBQ 09 12.03.2009 It seems the  Skatepark Blog is really picking up some steam. We were invited to attend the 4th annual OMA BBQ out in Arizona. Apparently we have a ton of fans out there. Chris was really excited for the road trip. Right on! This episode is so chock full of awesome that we needed to break it into two parts, lest you become overwhelmed. Go here for part 2. P-Rod Park: Why We Can't Have Nice Things 09.28.2009 I'm a big fan of arts education. So you can imagine how pleased I was to see such a beautiful blank canvas for kids who'd otherwise have nowhere to safely write their names. I hear some of them skate there too on occasion. Chris sure likes it. Figures.
