Ollie 4 Co. Come Skate with Us Indoor SkateboardPark . . Skateboarding is the fastest growing trend in the United States today. There are over 12 million skateboarders nation wide and over 20 million boarders in the world. These numbers are climbing at a fast and furious rate! We are Ollie & Co. Indoor Skate Park! We provide 12,000 sq. ft. of indoor skateboarding rush! Our facility is also friendly to inline rolJer blading and BMX biking. Our park features many quarter pipes, 2 wall rides, various hubbas, 8-stair, double set stairs wI down rail, manual platforms, a bank-to-bank ride, mini ramp, as well as down rails and flat rails. We have ramps that welcome the beginning skateboarder and ramps that chalJenge even the most experienced rider. Ollie & Co. offers a year 'round, structured indoor skateboard arena that always has adult supervision. It gives parents a great satisfaction to know that their children can skateboard in a healthy arena that offers social relationships and new friendships with others, physical activity, and supervision. We would like to bring this concept to your outdoor skate park. In an effort to continue promoting great social relationships and physical activity for skateboarders who use your community park, we ask the Council to allow us the opportunity to host a skateboard competition at your skateboard site. This competition will give area kids the opportunity to have fun in a competition-style format and to win great skateboard prizes! Kids love competitions that alJow them to perform at their ultimate level and 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 importance of developing healthy and productive skills. The competition format gives each skateboarder a 1.5-minute individual "run". Each run is scored on a scale from 1-10. Totals of both runs are used in determining the final winners. Prizes would include skateboard decks, skateboard accessories (bearings, wheels, etc), t-shirts, and discount coupons. A small product toss would be held after the event. A "product toss" is when our skate team throws skateboard accessories (bearings, wheels, stickers, 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. recover some costs. /)
