My pictures your site ???

Something weird is going on with my systerm.  Below are  screen grabs from  twit.tv domain.  If you click on the picture and enlarge it full size you'll notice that those are not the normal twit.tv pictures.  Those are pictures that I've uploaded to my picasa website.  So ??? How did my pictures end up on someone elses website?   Good question....   And no I didn't photoshop my own pictures into the screen grabs.  What reason would I have for doing that?   Anyway I'm posting the grabs below in hopes that someone can help me understand how this happened.  If you can let me know! Thanks in advance! -Matt

Bay Village

Brush off your scooter and get there at sunrise this place gets crowded quickly since it's new.


Finally a real concrete bowl in North East Ohio!  Some real concrete has been finished on Cleveland's west side.  The city of Bay Village (15 min. west of Cleveland) received a skate park courtesy of the Bay Skate and Bike Park Foundation's hard work.  Head on over to their website at http://bsbp.org to see more pictures and videos about the struggle to achieve the new park.

If you're done reading and you need to go skate this park then print out this map and go find it for yourself.


more info over @
bsbp.org  and more info on the builder at whoskates.com

Kent Ohio

Don't visit this park if you have to drive more than 30 minutes!  It's not worth it.  This project was swallowed up by American Ramp Company who apparently sub contracted the work to SOLO. What a disaster! I'm exaggerating of course but seriously this park could have been so much better.  For what the city spent they should have gotten a much better park.  Here's a map link so you can find it and judge for yourself.

"This is a dream big thing,"

In other business, the Himebaugh Lot was officially signed over to the city, and in turn, Mayor Steve Mercer signed the quit claim signing over to the school property adjacent to Stewart Field off Water Street where two baseball diamonds are currently located.
The Himebaugh Lot will be renamed soon Himebaugh Park, Mercer said.
The goal is for the city to apply for grants and turn it into a park with skate board facilities, a walking path and ball diamond.
"This is a dream big thing," Mercer said.
He said the location is ideal, with the Coshocton Fire Department, which is staffed 24-hours a day, seven days a week, across the street to monitor the situation. Also it's more centrally located and has easier access than the skate park located off Otsego Avenue.

From prefab to Grindline

The cities of Cleveland and Coshocton Ohio bought the easy fix solution for a skateboard park. Both had skate parks built to be disposable likely banking on the idea it was a fad. Both used the prefabricated ramps by a company not worth mentioning. They installed these prefab ramps on a concrete slab and said, "here's your skate park." Now these parks have reached the end of their life and both cities are in the planning stages of building new concrete skate parks.

Facts:
Cleveland population 500,000. Coshocton population 12,000. Cleveland prefab park on a concrete slab. Coshocton prefab park on a concrete slab. Cleveland removes it's prefab park (March 2010). Coshocton removes it's prefab park (February 2010).

Both Cleveland and Coshocton are now planning new concrete skate parks. Both will be designed by world class park builder Grindline.

We'll be in Wheeling!

Typically hearing that from my wife would result in a big sigh. I'm thinking oh no I have to go to my redneck in laws house in West Virginia (only kidding). Hearing this now gets me very excited when this gem is right down the road from grandma.  Thanks to my understanding wife and her very nice uncle I got to enjoy this park for a few hours. All the women in the family celebrated mothers day by going to Pittsburgh for dinner and a show.  Look at more pictures of this amazing skate park here.
