Ashville, North Carolina
The Crew Hard at work      Ashville is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Soon to be comepleted we started building Ashville in May 2001. This 15,000 sqaure foot park will have a seperate minibowl street course and big bowl. The crew pictured to the left ( James, Drew, Lenny, Matt, little Eddie) are working hard to get the park done by somtime in August. Once this park is completed then it's off to Lansing to build 20,000 sq ft.

Digging into that thang
Alot goes into building a skatepark. Design, surveys, redesigns, ripping into it, setting up for the wet stuff, spewing the wet stuff, smearing it, smoothing it & skating it. Alot of thought, planning, sweat & blood goes into every skatepark. Then it is test, tested & tested again by the the crew & a few select others before it is released for the public to get ahold.
