It totally makes sense that a Cincinnati kid would ride for the local skateboard company. This was probably Dave's first piece of major coverage. He still skates and writes a blog that addresses concerns over skatepark design with a critical eye while offering solutions to make parks better. To oversimplify his writings, parks should have smaller street oriented obstacles with plenty of space around them to make them more accessible to everyone.

Those were great in-depth reads. Paraphrasing the playground design book he references the idea that a skatepark built with only those of an advanced level in mind will stunt those starting out seems obvious but the amount of new parks with super high ledges and deep bowls proves that it isn't.
Exactly. We've got a pro level park. Awesome. You know what we don't have around here? A whole lot of pros.
