Skatewave™ Demo Tour Rolls Out Nationwide
More Than 10,000 Riders, Park Officials Expected to Attend
MINNEAPOLIS - May 10, 2005 – The latest in skatepark equipment will hit the streets of 37 cities this summer during the 2005 Skatewave Demo Tour. Skatewave, a leading designer and manufacturer of modular community skateparks, is taking its skatepark equipment on the road to give riders and skatepark planners the chance to check out the Skatewave 3.0 equipment and learn how to get a new skatepark in their community.
Each stop on the Tour is a one-day event designed to help communities plan and develop a new skatepark. The event attracts riders, parents, park officials and city leaders who are interested in working together to create a new community skatepark. For riders there will be a 6,800 square-foot skatepark, complete with quarter pipes, ramps, ledges, stairs and other Skatewave equipment. The program will open with an interactive skateboarding demonstration by the Skatewave Demo Team, followed by time for local riders to skate with the experts. In addition, Skatewave representatives will be on hand to discuss the process of designing and installing skateparks with interested city officials and parks and recreation directors. Skatewave will also have handouts on skatepark fundraising, planning, design and installation.
Local skateboarders of all abilities are invited to attend the events, and there is no charge for participation. Refreshments are served at each event, and drawings are held for special merchandise awards. The Skatewave Demo Tour will visit the following cities in 2005:
