I've been getting antsy. I have no idea really how to ride BMX or skateboard. I don't even really know how to ride a bike. However, I'm totally scared that when the skatepark opens in Hartford, I won't be able to do a cool trick at the ribbon cutting. I've been practicing at the skateparks that grace the routes I often ride on. One time I rode the Middlefield skatepark and on an occasion or two I've ridden the Newington one. The one in Martin Park in East Hartford is totally terrible, so I don't ever go there. The Wethersfield one, which is very nice, I pass all the time. I've started stopping in there with an improper bike.

Skatepark Fever
I've been working on this skatepark in Hartford for a long time. Our hope is that this summer will be our summer. Everything is in place except the DOT approval.

A skate park is waiting to happen in Bushnell Plaza, corner of Main and Gold Streets, across from Atheneum. It's ripe for the plucking.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the MDC will allow people to use that as a skatepark half past the freezing over of hell.
ReplyDeleteI once saw someone ollie the stairs on the Gold Street side. It was awesome.
Is that the perpetually closed plaza for who the fuck knows why? Unused spaces like that drive me bonkers. Someone should throw a popup market there one afternoon without asking anyone. Just act official.
ReplyDeleteUntil the workers seize the means of production, I'm pretty sure we'll continue to have private property and with that comes the ability to exclude.
ReplyDeleteMeh. Not when I'm tricksy and they aren't looking.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why people are nervous to ride with Tony C.
