I think there was a rush because there was some kind of mean court order threatening the destruction of the ramp if it wasn't taken down. It sounded like the Church administration wasn't very Church-y in terms of supporting a thriving community park.
JulianBleecker:
Keoni skulking about trying to figure out what to keep and what to get rid of.
JulianBleecker:
Getting all the bits out. Most of that wall in the back there will likely get painted over.
JulianBleecker:
Lots of graffiti.
JulianBleecker:
Lots of Ply.

They were collecting as many screws as they could. It's a lot of screws. There are a couple of the fellas in the back there taking a load off in their U-Haul that I guess they were going to fill with bits of mini ramp.
JulianBleecker:
The guys taking it down had plans to re-install it somewhere in the valley in someone's back yard. How awesome would that be?
JulianBleecker:
That's the storage bin in there where there were some surfboards and other memorabilia.
JulianBleecker:
It was nice and DIY and sort of managed itself somehow. I was suprised at first at how open it all was. People were just there, skating and stuff and there was a community center there which was sorta weird and then a church across the parking lot.
JulianBleecker:
I don't have deep history with this place, but it's close to the house and fun to stop by or meet up with folks.
JulianBleecker:
I went home and got my camera to document the whole thing.
