Great article, too bad the City screwed up by not building one at the Trinity Strand area close to Reverchon. that would have rocked. thanks for keeping the dream alive, dallas really needs this - the modular ramps at Lakeland Hills are a joke

This is an awesome story. Maybe they will get one in Dallas with more publicity after this great story. Thanks

Please don't forget the deathly dangerous Pepsi ramp at Bachman!! I was a tiny 12 year old in 1986, and still remember Jeff and the guys skating the blue ramp, putting on a show, and still being real enough to say what's up to the kids like me and my friends just then falling in love with skateboarding Thanks Guapo and co. for keeping it all alive in Dallas.

yea, i spotted one of the guapo ramps a while back from the dart rail. it was behind a fence. my family and i did a drive by but no one around at the time, and i was never extended the "invite".
a skatepark in dallas would be so cool! i built a backyard half pipe for my son and i but it ain't cheap to maintain and weather is getting the best of it at the moment.
dallas, if you're out there, please build a public skatepark downtown, fairpark, dart rail accessible, whatever; do it!

Engmofo...you type well drunk but I'm with ya. You'd think that with all the concrete that is going to be poured with this Trinity River project just a small portion of it could be a concrete skatepark. Venice just built a concrete skatepark on the boardwalk that's right by the ocean. The Trinity is certainly no ocean but....

OK people ,I'm ready to be proved wrong here,but the % of people that skateboard in the U.S. is pretty much the same as those that play Tennis (quick Google search)................So why butt-loads of Tennis courts & no Skateparks?
Could it be because we are considered a bunch of scummy mofo's & the Stepford wife tennis court look is more mainstream?
Dallas city could give a flying f*&k about us
Glad my property taxes were only 9K this year(need sarcasm button)

wow, this is a fantastic article. thank you very much.
im not currently a skater, though i rode the 'burbs as a kid pretty well and am all about the culture and publicly built skate parks. keep fighting the good fight everyone! we all know dallas can be a little behind on things, but it just makes it better when it happens.
it comes from you all and hard work, not from guys in suits.

Great article! We in Arlington would also appreciate support as a large city without a public skatepark. We're a bit further in the process though, Arlington Parks and Rec has a master plan, has parks set aside - we just need money to make it happen, one spot/place at a time! Please visit Arlingtonsk8.com to help the cause!

Man, it's so good to read this stuff.
I'm an old schooler from back in the day as well. I used to hit the Phillips at least 3 times a week for a long, long time.
I was living back out in West Texas when I heard of his death. He was a very interesting dude to say the least. Craig, Billy, and Jeff were always cool to me.
Years passed. I moved back to Dallas. I built a nice 6' mini with my skate partner and room mate. It was sweet and lived for a long time. We had some sick parties at that house and some sick sessions on that ramp. I still have the coping safely stacked away waiting to be used again.
I'm totally stoked that these guys are still around, still doing it. I'd die just to come see the Guapo, let alone be graced with a membership. (hint, hint)
Take care, guys and keep the faith.

That pre-fab skate park pos is not in lake highlands. If anything it is in rhinehart. Learn your geography.

Kick Ass article! I play for PC Deathsquad, definitely skater type hardcore punk/thrash. If these guys need a band for any fundraiser type parties/shows, we'd love to be involved. This place needs to stay open. And we definitely need a real public skate park. Seriously, what's the hold up Dallas?
