THey have several runs with taller ramps to start, smaller ones to launch if you want and end in halfipipes if you like. I went on the one thats against the wall on the right of the video. Theres lots of roll space! 2-3 foot flat ramps 2 feet apart jammed with skateboarders launching isnt fun for me. The halfpipe was incredibly crowded. But heres the one I like thats 4 miles closer! The floor is fine and I'm very happy to have something to go to in the winter. They have a smaller mini upstais for me to learn lip tricks on too. Many just do the street course and dont go into the halfpipe so I could even practice pumping on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWXFL-AlgDw&feature=related

	I went to State of Confusion skatepark today. Its skateboarders only but I talked them into letting me go. They were impressed by my skates! But once I went in, I realized why its skateboarders only. It was very tight, lots of small steep ramps with little roll area. The floor was too slick for me to skate on, the slickest floor ever! They had one 6 foot or so halfpipe with about 20 skateboarders on it so there wouldnt be room for me to practice pumping either. So mostly small, steep launch ramps with no roll area between them. Even small steep ramps to walls. Is this common? I mean, I dont think many others besides skateboarders that just want to launch off ramps would have much interest in this set up? The other skatepark was 10 mins away, so I went and had a butt smacking time lol!

	I've been to state of confusion when the kiddies were filing out, it was pretty small but nice without people on top of you. : : : I went to State of Confusion skatepark today. : : : : The mini ramp there doesn't look too bad.
