Friends of the Summit Slope Skate Dot

go by, and we get to skate without much grief. It's a pretty beautiful thing. Needless to say, this is a HUGE step into the future of skateboarding. Imagine a city where ledges weren't built to be knobbed. Instead, skateboarders were brought into the design process to make a feature within the overall design concept of a new public space. Little skate spots could be as commonplace as water fountains and basketball courts. Now here's the bad side; Some people don't believe that the feature is working. They see this ledge as something that makes a lot of noise and attracts more delinquents to their neighborhood. Their agenda is nothing less of getting the spot demolished. The city has already bowed down to their complaints, hence why there are turtle bumps, posts, and a fence now. Summit and John is the first of it's kind. It's the first skate dot to be built as part of the City-Wide Skate Park Plan. It's important that it's not just these nay-sayers that get their voices heard. We need to let our voices be heard by city officials too. This is only the beginning of a campaign to ensure the ledge stays, and most importantly isn't deemed a "hassle" or "failure." We could also probably get some of those quirks fixed, too! So, share this with your friends, "like" it, and spread the word.
