Shreddin' it up at RipZu Skate Park

What better place to have an indoor skate park than the rainy PacNW? We knew before we got here that they'd be opening the place up. So...... we stopped unpacking for the day and headed to their Grand Opening. They have 2 sides to the building, one being beginner/intermediate and the other more advanced.

The owners are very family oriented, wanting to provide a place where they can hold classes, lock in's, T'shirt Wednesday's where you get in half price if you wear their shirt, after school  'care' and so forth. While it does cost money to use this location, there are always adults around (not that I drop the boys at any of the parks) so it's a little more PG rated for the younger ones in the hobby.

Mike is mainly our long boarder, but he got out there with Sean and Greg. They have an overlook deck for parents/observers, with tables and chairs, so after a lunch run, I was content for a while. Sadly, there was a home that needed unpacking and settling and so we had to get back to reality.

 Just an intro for the kids that were interested

 Tyler (I think, he's an employee) giving a little instruction

 Sean really wanting to nail his ollie

 How high can you take it?
