My local park is Ramp Rats Indoor Skatepark. It's a great park to have and I can attribute most of my progression to it.

Ramp Rats has a box jump, wall rides, a little street section, a 7 foot mini ramp with a 9 foot section, a step up, and much more. It's on the smaller side, but everything flows together and you can get a lot done there.




It's like my classroom there. I am homeschooled, so instead of socializing with classmates at a normal school, after I am done with my work I go to the skatepark and meet up with all my friends there. It's much better like that I think, because we all have a common interest there. Plus, I never stop learning while I am there. Everyone at Ramp Rats is super awesome and they also have a pro shop with lots of parts and bikes for sale, at internet prices!

The riders at Ramp Rats are like my extended family. Not only do I get to fulfill my need to ride there, but everytime I go, it's like a big party/reunion full of great times that I will always remember.
