Skateropolis

Last weekend the Osiris Team hooked up with the Enjoi Team in Chicago for the second annual Chicago Park Jam.

Here they are at Wilson skatepark blasting ollies over hot dogs (defeatinglast years record of 25 with a hefty 32.5 to be exact):

We found this sweet vid out there in cyberspace and thought it was quite a feature. As Chicago natives, we often wonder why our skateparks are nowhere near the caliber of the parks out in Oregon. Don’t get me wrong, I am very stoked to have a couple of above average parks within driving distance—one in the city (Wilson) and another one in Northbrook, although I would love it if they were to junk the 31st street park and build 1 pristine snake bowl in its place.  Maybe something like one of these...  ok, now I am dreaming.

Just thought I would post a quick link to a Thrasher video that is a great representation of Chicago skate spots and the rippers that roll them. Enjoy!

Logan Square Skatepark in Chicago is open and skaters are digging the park.
