<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />“In addition to being a pro skater for over 20 years, I am the creative director for the Dew Tour. The Dew Tour <br />needed a professional class competition bowl that would showcase the best of modern vert and transition <br />skateboarding. <br />The team at Spohn Ranch was able to take my ideas and deliver a finished product that was not only the <br />world’s first portable bowl, but one of the best pieces of skate-able terrain ever built.” <br />- Chris Miller, Professional Skateboarder <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />“Having the opportunity to work with Spohn Ranch was truly a dream relationship. From day one, we talked <br />about a vision of a grand skate plaza that would be considered one of the premier facilities in North Central <br />Florida and every which way beyond. A class facility that would cater to young and old, boys and girls and <br />beginners to the highly skilled. A venue that could hold events and tournaments for all the community to <br />enjoy, as well as for those from out of town. <br />With the excitement, dedication and love shown by Spohn Ranch, it’s no wonder the facility turned out to be <br />a gorgeous skatepark. The mere fact that your team was able to construct such a facility in less than 60 days <br />was a miracle to me. You knew the City was tight on time due to a $400,000 grant and you kept your promise, <br />which to me was never in doubt. Night and day your team worked to make the City’s dream skatepark a <br />reality. <br />As we’ve all heard time and time again, the proof is in the pudding. All anyone needs to do is drive by the <br />skatepark anytime during day light hours to see droves of kids and adults skateboarding, in-line skating, BMX <br />riding, and scooter riding. Moms, Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas clicking snap shots of their heroes. It’s by far <br />the most amazing skatepark we could have possibly wished for. <br />This has been reinforced through articles in our local newspaper and TV news stories. Not to mention articles <br />that have been written and sent to the editor by citizens commenting on the awesomeness of the park. <br />It’s been a great process and I can’t tell you how lucky I was to work with Spohn Ranch. You guys and ladies <br />are the top of the pop. You could see our vision and put it on the ground in record-breaking fashion. I hope <br />that in the upcoming months that visitors from other communities drop in to see our skate park and say, we <br />need to go back home, get with our City leaders for funding and then contact Spohn Ranch so we can have our <br />own state-of-the-art skate park for our community.” <br />- Patrick J.
