Ride MKE

Milwaukee, Wisconsin locals who aren’t content to wait for the Turf to be dug up again or settle for facilities like the one you see above (no joke!) have taken things into their own hands. RideMKE is a non-profit organization committed to establishing sustainable concrete parks in Milwaukee. (MKE is the airport code for Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport.) The first item on the agenda is to clean up and improve the abortion that is Estabrook park, but the ultimate goal is to spread concrete to new locations. The county is on board because it isn’t costing them anything. Check the story out on OnMilwaukee.com, or stop by RideMKE blog or Facebook page.

    Can you imagine how good a kid would be on a normal ramp if he skates this everyday?

  2. Awesome! that reminds me of the first quarter I built.

  3. Someone burned down one of my quarters, but I didn’t do such a sweet rebuild.

    Finally, some good f#&@*ing news from Wisconsin! Does the word abortion appear in their mission statement or is that what you’re calling it? That burned 1/4 needs to appear on a t-shirt in a sort of Evan Hecox style. I’d buy one.
