An anonymous messenger sent me this link of a skatepark being built in West Feliciana parish (about 15/20 minutes from Baton Rouge). I’ll refrain from any commentary as it looks like it’s at the very beginning stages, but rest assured our crew of trained skate geeks will get over there to further document the progress.

Here’s what it’s going to look like. Sadly, it’s yet another ARC park, but as a person originally from the Felicianas, I’m glad they’re getting something. But still… ARC… the more municipalities use ARC ramps, the more we’re going to see those places spring up… while I’ve skated some ARC ramps that were indeed decent, they’re still far inferior to locally built ramps, and even more inferior to concrete. Not to mention, ARC overprices everything to such a degree that it’s almost as funny as it is sad.
