America’s Best Skateparks?

wsj-ambest

If you weren’t paying attention to the Wall Street Journal’s article on how Portland became the skateboarding capital of the world, you might have missed the tab with the interactive graphic that is supposed to display America’s Best Skateparks. The graphic is actully kind of cool, but predictably, you have to take their selection process with a grain of salt, and cringe a little when they show a BMX photo for the illustration of the Athens Ohio skatepark.

  1. Also ironic that the Pacific Northwest is represented by a bunch of ramps.

  2. It says the NH park has the ONLY VERT RAMP in New England. If that’s true, it’s the saddest thing I’ve heard all day.
    Anybody want to invest to build a VERT ONLY skatepark in Vermont? Anybody?

  3. Glad Louisville made the list, MAYBE the city will again realize that it is indeed a destination park… But I’m surprised Phoenix wasn’t represented… lots o’ good ‘crete in the desert.

    that is a joke. selection process with grain of salt? how about a salt mine? rye is good…they could’ve mentioned a few others, such as stamford, ct (Grindline) or fdr (diy), to represent.
