DIY East Coast Indoor
February 26th, 2009 by kilwag
I met a guy from Minnesota who looked about the right age, so I asked him he skated P.I.S.S. back in the day, and he had. P.I.S.S. for those that don’t know, was an indoor ramp in a building. To skate it you had to pay rent, hence, Private Indoor Skate Spot. A few of us got somewhat serious about setting up a situation like that in Portland. We got as far as checking out spaces, but it all came to naught. Slap Magazine has a feature that, uh, features someone who noses around here on occasion, it’s called DIY East Coast Indoor Parks. Doc Murdock is interviewed as one of the principals in four indoor private spots on the east coast. Pics and video from each spot. Check it out.

These are all very cool projects. Anyone know where the one in Maine is? There’s a kid in the D.C. footage, Shaun Gregoire, who is ripping. His style and tricks remind me a lot of the Bacon crew.

Thanks for posting this Kilwag.
Correction: I did not interview the principals of four indoor private spots on the east coast. I am a principal founder of Fight Club DC and I was interviewed by Lee Berman of Slap for this feature on DIY Warehouses.
