PPMR to close for a month or so
Posted by seth johnson under DIY Concrete , Roadtrip Report , transition skating
Get your sessions in quick. A meeting with the city this morning resulted in a decision to temporarily fence off the mini ramp to ensure that sod will take root and grow on the berms to stabilize the soil. Funds are also being raised privately to install stairs on each corner of the ramp to provide an easy climb up to the decks. The fence will likely go up before the end of this week.
Consumer beware: Home Depot is gouging rental customers by charging a $5.00 gas surcharge regardless of how much gas you have in the tank of rental equipment you return.
Another PPMR volunteer has suffered a serious injury. Lee Brooks was visiting Orcas Island on a skate trip last week and broke his foot while just taking a step off his board. The report I heard indicated that he underwent surgery for the injury.

Dang is the PPMR crew cursed?
Good luck stopping people from skating the ramp, I wont skate it, but you know that orange fence wont stop everybody.

would it be possible to fence off the berms and
not fence the ramp? put up signs “please stay off the dirt” instead of “please stay off the ramp.”

Nice concrete ramp, Observation: I know that the area will benefit from it immensely. The area has a public throughfare flowing through it and there will be a mix of yet to be seen people that will patronize this sitting area/congregating spot.
Many anticipated unplanned measures stemming from the anticipated problems via the natural order and the discomforts it invariably produces
Question:Are there plans to expand on the skating structure so that more of the neighborhood patrons will be able to skate in a more natural cadence that prompts less friction?
Are these structures not to be designed according to minimizing the plethora of interuption which essentially counteracts the freedom of skateboarding?
