Dave ReynoldsI got back a few days ago from an extended roadtrip to Tyler and then up to visit my Grandmother in Oklahoma. Things were going pretty well with Dave’s skatepark build in Tyler when I left. I have since learned from Dave that his dog, Ruby, was accidentally run over by one of the crew who was driving a minivan at the time. Dave rushed Ruby to the animal hospital emergency room where the veterinarian was able to keep her from dying. Now Dave is confronted with the emotionally wrenching decision of whether or not the doctors should perform a surgery that could enable Ruby to live and walk, but suffer from pain the rest of her life.


I don’t have very many details coming out of Corpus about the Grindline skatepark build taking place there, but I’m hoping that they aren’t having to confront mortal issues like what Dave’s facing in Tyler. Carter posted these photos of the Corpus progress on the SPS forums, and I think they were shot by someone named ‘Fredmyster.’ Here are some other photos that document earlier progress on the skatepark. And here are a few more photos from my trip to Tyler.
