Ardmore Regional SK8 Park

I was fortunate enough to take a journey to Ardmore, Oklahoma last weekend, where they have recently built a cement park. Not sure who designed it, but it's pretty good. Some weird pieces here and there, that's what I like. Sick of that cookie-cutter shit. Anyway, who cares about that.

At one point I'm chillin' in the parking lot with a tallboy because it's 97 degrees outside and I saw one of the locals walking across the parking lot towards the skatepark. And he was yelling "Heyyyyy Mommm, where's Grandmaaaaaa?!!!" I thought that was hilarious.

Here's Drew's clips from that day.

Badass Oklahoma Skateparks

I went on ConcreteDisciples.com and checked out every skatepark in Oklahoma with photos to view. I came up with a few notables due either to the look of the park or the somewhat close proximity. I love skating new spots even if they're shitty. So here's what I saw:




The Guthrie skatepark. That piece up there seems to be about it aside from a flat bar and a pretty nice looking box. To me that could be fun for an hour or so. This may be because there seems to be quite a shortage of ledge spots in Oklahoma City.



Elk City Skatepark. Even though this is mostly a metal park, it looks kind of fun. Reason being some of the obstacles are a little unusual, if not completely ridiculous. And we all know that RIDICULOUS=FUN! Sometimes.


And last but CERTAINLY least we have the Crescent Skatepark. I included this photo to demonstrate a park I DO NOT want to go to for any reason however, I'm glad those kids have something to skate. Well wait, nevermind. I'm not happy for them. That's just ri-damn-diculous and we all know it. Hurry up and finish phase 2 and 3 for them, Crescent. Please?

You know what? That's all I've got. The other parks I have either been to or have no desire to ever see in person. Anyone that reads this that has skated Elk City or Guthrie give me a shout and let me know if it's fun at all. I'm sure Scottie and/or Clint have been to them. So, what's up?
