I began skateboarding in the Dallas suburbs 10 years ago. While learning the basics, my friends and I were content with skating on simple, flat surfaces. But soon driveways and waxed curbs lost their appeal. As we improved, we looked for new challenges to test us.
Skateboarding magazines and documentaries were our primary sources to learn about skate spots. We saw our idols throw themselves down 30-stair handrails and kick-flip over the Carlsbad High School gap in southern California.
Where were the Carlsbad-like gaps in Dallas? I created this blog to guide skaters searching for the sickest skate-spots and skate parks in the Dallas area. Check us out for park reviews, and look for updates about contests and demonstrations. Learn how to build ramps and boxes, and discover Dallas’ best skate-shops and deals. Get ready to shred!
This a great first post. Short yet concise. You have not bogged me down with reading a lot that I do not care to read. I know everything your blog will offer and know what to look for in the future. I would suggest maybe adding a picture of someone doing a trick to give it more readability of a blog, because when I think of skateboarding, I want to see the cool things people can do.
ReplyDeleteAlso I used to aggressive skate for Razor back in the day and if we needed a new place to skate we used this:
http://skatespotter.com/home.html
It’s basically a site that shows skate spots in different cities around the country, pictures of the place and their locations on a map.
