8Now that Ive used the Revolution Carbon Fiber skateboard for a good week or more, I've got a pretty good impression on how it's holding up and how it rides. The board is holding up great and has even taken some head-on impacts into concrete walls from when it got away from me. There are no cracks and it's still in perfect shape! As for the ride, I've gotten used to it. The feel and shape of the board is just as good as any wooden deck. Also, it was a little slick to hold on to, but now it's just as easy to hold on to. I guess it was just a layer of something that was left over from the manufacturing process, but it has worn off.
The city of Eugene is holding a skateboard camp for those who want to learn how to skateboard. It's a free program, and the only requirement is that you wear a helmet. What is really cool is that both boys and girls are welcome. They also have a program for the summer where you travel to different skateparks in Oregon. It's open to anyone,but some of the parks are intermediate to expert level. To find out more check out their web site eugene-or.gov.
While riding around Seoul, I stumbled upon another skateboard park in the Pangyo-dong area. The park is under an overpass in the West Pangyo area. The park is is made up of two quarter pipes and a pyramid. The surface is masonite and the none of the ramps have coping. The spot would be perfect to skate on a sunny day. Unfortunately water from the overpass drips down onto the at least half of the skate area, and their is a lot of dust, probably due to all the construction in the area. This topped with the area being painted makes for a really slick surface. The ramps are in excellent condition and it doesn't look like anyone uses the area at all. It's worth a session if you're in the area.
Here area few photos of my family's skate session at the Cal Young skate park in Eugene, Oregon. Cal Young is a perfect park for beginning to intermediate skaters. It also has a good mix of street and vert obstacles.
