No scooters aloud? What about quietly?

Checked out the new Kelso, Washington skatepark yesterday, where the locals were friendly and the concrete was…

…really smooth in the shallow and street area with vast expanses of bumpy patches and washed out transitions in the deep end. Not the locals seemed to mind at all, I asked one kid who built it and he said he didn’t know, he was “just there to tear shit up.” According to one BMXer on deck, the park was designed by Rodd Marks and built by a bunch of construction workers in the city. 80% of the concrete is smooth as silk, but everything over shoulder height looks like it was finished by an entirely different crew.

You make your own fun right? Take the exit with the Target store, go north on the first street on the east side of the highway.

Here’s the view as you approach the park.

And this is the punchline. “No scooters aloud. 3pm Bitchs.” Does that mean no scooters allowed after 3pm? Is it a cautionary message directed at a scooter gang called the “3pm Bitches.”

Whew. That’s a big drop. That clamshell in the back doesn’t really go over vert. It’s more of an elevator extension.

I like the heavy metal works, but I still hate heavy metal.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter the deep end. It does have pool coping though.
