So how many of you guys here go to skate parks to Heel? This is the park I go to: http://www.ci.keene.nh.us/parks/skatepark.htm
It took me a long time before I dared drop in on the half pipe, but it turned out being much easier than I thought it would be, and it is wicked fun. So how about you guys post pix of the skate parks you visit. Any interesting stories would also be nice =) |

Note to self: Grab digital camera.
I heel at the skate park too, which is fairly well cluttered with stuff. There's a bowl, but I can't drop in on it; too much angle and I only have a pair of Fleets with Fats. I think I'll try it when my Evolutions come in and see how the grinding and the Big Deuces work out. I can carve the bowl now, though.. surprises even me. |

I go to Moun Trashmore skate park, we don't have a website, but I found some pics on google. It's pretty sweet, we have this big ass halfpipe. I'm scared of it, I dropped in on heelys got too much speed and when I went up the other I flipped over the halfpipe and landed on my back. Couldn't walk for 3 days, now I'm better! lol.

Nice skate park.
Despite all my efforts, I still can't "drop in". I just can't change foot angles quick enough and I'm likely to meet a vicious, bloody end, even on the more gentle drops in the far superior skate park on the other side of town. (Seriously, if you're going to be there all day, a 10 minute drive is definitely worth it for a smoother surface) |

Here in MN, there are a limited amount of skateparks nearby, although I'll start looking for some soon.
At a YMCA camp my Junior class went to, there was a skate park. I couldn't get down the half pipe, but going up it halfway was totally possible. There was also a box, and some rails, sadly I don't yet have my dream model (Torch) and am stuck with the flat-footed "Fleets"
But yes, they are fun on a skatepark! |

When you drop in - pretend that you're picking up something off your front foot. If you don't tilt and lean forward, you're going to fall backwards.
Falling forward is better since you're wearing kneepads. Of Course and some wrist guards.
Start with a small quarterpipe - then work your way up.
Once you get it, you'll always be able to do it. Its really about doing it right once - like riding a bike.
Dropping in FATS is crazy, especially on really large pipes. I learned to drop in on FATS (I was the first person to do it). That's only because there wasn't anything else at the time. I don't anymore. I recommend Megas.

this is the halfpipe at the park but we dont ride this one...the one we ride is nextr to it and ALOT smaller. You cant see the smaller one though.
I will post some pics of us at the skate park when we go. Should be in a week or 2. Here in Philly there really no where to skate accept for the skatepark at FDR park. You should see the speed we get there going on the halfpipe,the hills, everything. Also we will have some videos on our myspace. Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/teamheelz. |
