Go Skateboarding Weekend - Part 4

So, we headed out from Grove City Sunday night, tired, smelly, hungry. We decided to head down towards Dry Ridge/Florence, KY and see what the weather would do. There was a chance of rain again so if Mother N. Decided to dump then it would be an indoor sesh at Ollies. This place is amazing, Calabro and I hit it up last year. They have a 13' vert ramp, a cool wood peanut like bowl, a 60' long mini with a bowled corner, micro and huge street course.

Luckily, we did not need to skate indoors. We arrived in Dry Ridge around 10pm and decided to check out the park. It was dark, quiet and relaxing to walk around the dimly lit gem of a skatepark and explore the superb finish on the concrete. Calabro and I were down last year and were trying to skate the Florence park, but the finish was terrible in the bowl. I have heard that the streetcourse is amazing but the bowl area is not...

So, this kid told us about a brand new park in the town he was from, Dry Ridge, KY. We were soooooo surprised when we hit it up. The park has an amazing old school snake run that starts at the crest of a hill and runs down into the main level of the park. There is just about anything one could need here, banks, transitioned banks, hips, walrides, euro gap, marble hubbas, hipped q'pipe, mini snake run w/ corners, pump bumps and the coolest little pool you'll ever ride. It is about 5 1/2' deep with very mellow transitions (almost too mellow), a lil' love seat and deathbox, topped with very nice hand poured concrete coping.

We skated here for about 3hrs and then the clouds rolled in, pissed and it was time to move on. Our next stop was Kokomo but by the time we got up there, the sun was assuming the position to blind all transitions that face west. So, we decided to go to Taco Bell first, bad idea - we were soooo bloated and full of gass that it was time to continue on I-65 North...

We had to put in Master of Puppets to keep the juice for the ride back. Cappetto free formed over the crunchy riffs and Calabro was annoyed by the air guitar contests within the fit...

It was an excellent trip and we are already planning the next one!!!
