the full size skate half pipe, mini ramp, storage shed, and church. Two large murals were also constructed. Over 20 sheets of skatelite wood donated from the old X Games ramps were used to replace the old rotting ramp. Over 80 feet of new fencing was added and painted and over 40 bags of debris were collected.
The new and improved skate park had an immediate impact. The skate park and surrounding area is now a popular hang out for local youth and open free to the public of all ages every day.
OUTTAKES
This amazing project was attended by Boost Mobile VIP winners and was also attended by rap legend Busta Rhymes. Skateboard pro, Terry Kennedy, also made an appearance. Both Busta and Terry worked shoulder to shoulder with volunteers, getting dirty painting and cleaning but always taking time to stop and take pictures with excited youth.
Boost also supplied their VIP bus for volunteers to sit back in style during their breaks. The volunteers enjoyed watching past BMRC concerts on the bus plasma t.v.s, chilled out in the air conditioning and helped themselves to the fully stocked Vitamin Water bar.
