Sad but true, the Potomac Mills Vans Skatepark will be closing on 12/31/2004. It has been a fun 4 1/2 years of skateboarding there. Many friendships have been made at our Vans park and many bones have been broken there.
Hate to see Vans or any skatepark close, especially an indoor one. But at least it is not like the late 70's-early 80's when all of the skateparks closed except for two in Florida and a couple of public parks in North America. This time we have so many public parks to skate that the future of skatepark riding is secure.
So before the year ends out, lets try to plan a big skate session with the slalom bros at Vans before it shuts down. I'll bring the timer and we can do an impromptu "banked slalom" race and have fun getting some carves in the small bowl and grinds the kidney pool.
Laters,
LBK
PS, today me, Parsons, and Wes E. skated the Arlington Park. Kind of crowded and verged on a being a snake session at times but it was a cool group to skate with.

Man this sucks a good deal. I just started really riding the pool there for real and i just got a bigger board that i wont be scared out of my mind to drop into it on. A 28" alva reissue with pivots and wheels that are too big and soft is never a good idea but it was fun. Tell me when to show up and i will just as long as its not on the weekend of the 19-21 or another weekend in december because those are the audition camps for the drum corp im going to.
