Cary Jackson, Dave Reynolds, and I poured the flatbottom on the Patterson Park Miniramp wednesday morning. In spite of a threatening thunderstorm, the pour turned out great. We gave it a day to cure, then unwrapped it Friday, July 4th for a session. The news spread like a virus and we had guys coming down from Round Rock to check it out.
Basically, it’s open for skating at this point. The site is still under construction as we have to bring in some topsoil, spread it, and plant grass. If you visit, please be gentle on the orange fencing, pick up your trash, and generally respect the park and other visitors. The ramp was built entirely with donated funds for materials and volunteer labor.

Skated it today, nice ramp, thanks to the guys who built it. Too bad some f’kers tagged the deck already. If I see any one painting any public skate spot I’m gonna break thier thumbs and then turn ‘em into the cops.

Thanks to all who helped with this project! I skated it this morning, and it was so nice to be in a totally park setting. The “THC” tagged on the deck (right beneath the sign asking people to please not tag the ramp)really pissed me off. A note to taggers-
Tagging caught in the act will be met by instant and intense violence by me and mine. Heed the warning seriously.

Where the heck are you supposed to park at the new No Comply location? I circled the block twice and decided I really didn’t need new reading material that bad.
