News / Session Pictures / Updates / Events:

September 2, 2005 - Edwards skatepark had its grand opening.  The bowl is fun, but the street section was not that great.  On the way there, I hit Silverthorne, which is always fun.

July 9, 2005 - Last week I took a road trip, and got to skate a few places along the way.  Laramie, Wyoming, was fun.  Edora was overrun with bikes.  I bruised my shins up at the Fossil Creek skate plaza in Ft. Collins, CO.  And I found an empty modular skatepark in Saratoga, Wyoming. 

June 17, 2005 - Denver is going to put up some modular skate stuff at the Johnson Rec. Center near Elyria Park (4809 Race Street).  Thanks, but modular?  I'll report back, perhaps, when it's done.  Also, Steamboat Springs is adding a 24-foot-wide mini ramp with a 12-foot spine to its current skatepark, and hopes to add a concrete park next summer. 

May 6, 2005 - I got a chance to try out Westminster this morning, and posted some pictures and a brief description. 

February 12, 2005 - I skated the new park in Louisville, Colorado.  I wasn't impressed, and left after about 15 minutes to go skate elsewhere. 

December 18, 2004 - I put up some more pictures of Aurora, including a better look at Aurora's big bowl, and a shot of the bmx freestyle area. 

December 11, 2004 - I got a chance to skate Trails Recreation Center skatepark in Centennial.  Check out the pictures. 

November 20, 2004 - The Trails Recreation Center, with skatepark, opened this day in Centennial. 

November 6, 2004 - By now you probably have read Westword's piece on Colorado skatepark construction and design.  Also, there is one less reason to go to Lowry. 

January 19, 2004 - I finally put up some pictures of Castle Rock's skatepark.  Also, I should mention that Stapleton skatepark is open.  I skated it on New Year's Day.  Finally, yesterday I added some additional pictures of the Colorado History Museum to the Downtown Denver page. 

January 17, 2004 - I started to add some Central Denver spots. 

December 28, 2003 - Today I took a look at a new concrete skatepark in Adams County at 86th Ave. and Zuni.  It is within the Hyland Hills Parks and Rec. District.   If you want to go there, take Federal, go east on 84th, and go north on Zuni. 

October 18, 2003 - Ft. Collins's Fossil Creek plaza-style skatepark opened. 

September 9, 2003 - Estes apparently put up more wooden obstacles, and called it a skatepark.  Thanks to Jay for the update. 

On August 19, 2003 - The Chocolate team's Hot Chocolate Tour hit Denver.  Check out the Hot Chocolate video for footy. 

July 11, 2003 - The Denver Snake Run opened with a small dedication on July 11, 2003.  Phase II also includes some new rails, ledges, and angle irons on existing edges. 

June 22, 2003 - Vans in Westminster is now closed.  Along with Bladium, this is be the second Denver-area private skatepark to close in recent years. 

May 8, 2003 - The flat for the Snake Run was poured. 

April 22, 2003 - You must take a look at Trinidad's new skatepark, built by Grindline.  It is breathtaking. 

March 17, 2003 - Take a look at the site plan for Phase II, courtesy of The Architerra Group. 

November 23, 2002 - Evidence why you must session the new spots while they're still skateable.  I was lucky enough to get one session in before the bench was added.  Thanks to Zach for the bad news. 

November 14, 2002 - The ESPN X-Games Skatepark at the Colorado Mills mall in Lakewood opened. 

September 22, 2002 - Downtown Denver spots added to the "Others" page.
