We have ramps that weloome the beginning skateboarder and ramps that challenge even the most experieneed rider. Ollie &: Co. otTers a year 'round, struetured indoor skateboard arena that always has adult supervision. It gives parents a great satisfaction to know that their children ean skateboard in a healthy arena that offers soeial relationships and new friendships with others, physical activity, and supervision. We would Uke to bring this concept to your outdoor skate park. ID an effort to continue promoting great social relationships and physieal aetirity for skateboarders who use your community park, we ask the Council to allow us the opportunity to host a skateboard eompetition at your skateboard site. This eompetition will give area kids the opportunity to have fun in a eompetition-style format and to wiD great skateboard prizes! Kids love eompetitions that allow them to perform at their ultimate level aDd show others their sUPer tricks, etc! Ollie &: Co's Skate Team will also be on hand to judge the competition and to skate with the kids. It's a great way for kids to learn from positive role models and to realize the importanee of developing healthy and productive skills. The competition format gives each skateboarder a l.5-minute individual "run". Each run is seored on a seale from 1-10. Totals of both roDS are used in determining the final winners. Prizes would include skateboard decks, skateboard accessories (bearings, wheels, etc), t-shirts, and diseount eoupons. A small produet toss would be held after the event. A "produet toss" is when our skate team throws skateboard accessories (bearings, wheels, stiekers, skate magazines, skate tools, etc) into the crowd. There would be a nominal registration fee of $5-10 per entrant in order to help Ollie &: Co. reeover some eosts.
