Rob Dyrdek & Street League Break Ground At Kansas City’s 1st Safe Skate Spot
May 16, 2012 – 9:47 pm PT by BrianHaving a good big brother is key in the development of kids with no direction or guidance. Big brothers ensure that these kids grow up having someone to look up to in times when society has rejected them. That is why I would like to take this time and thank my big brother. Actually I’m the big brother to my younger brother who I seriously hate and spent countless hours beating up as kids. But because I didn’t have a big brother, I had to look up to sources outside the confines of the home. My big brother was the skate magazine BIG BROTHER and man was he awesome. He gave me a glimpse of what it’s like to be a teenager. I got to see what hot skate girls looked like when nude, I learned that you can wear DEPENDS while out getting wasted, and I learned how to make home made bombs. Those were the days.
The young skateboarders of Kansas City have a great big brother as well and his name is Rob Dyrdek. He is really doing some great things for not just the skateboard community, but for the cities as well.
In association with STREET LEAGUE Skateboarding, the Rob Dyrdek Foundation will celebrate the official opening of Kanasas City’s first Safe Spot Skate Spot at Penn Valley Park. Rob Dyrdek, KCMO Director of Parks and Recreation Mark McHenry and Jan Marcason of the 4th District City Council will hold a press conference at 4:00pm on Wednesday, May 15th at Penn Valley skate plaza, W. 29th St. & Pennsylvania Ave. in Penn Valley Park.
