Title: Indianapolis / Indiana
Post by: streetmeat on October 11, 2021, 04:47:29 AM
Just a general thread of Indianapolis / Indiana for anyone searching in the future. (old threads are pretty outdated)

Indianapolis shop:
-Minus
-Versed (New off-shoot of Minus)

Bloomington shop:
-Rhett

Ft. Wayne:
-Rise

Lawrenceburg:
-Blacklist


Indianapolis area skatepark:
-Major Taylor: the oldest park, its outdated and if you're used to newer parks, you'll probably hate it. Its only plus is its location to the city.

-Lawrence park: dont bother

-Greenwood/Northeast park: about 20 mins south of Indy

-Willard/Ebobs: Newest park, closest to downtown Indy

Hunger has a slew of parks 45-1 hour around Indy: Nashville, Columbus, New Castle, Bloomington, Kokomo are all awesome.

thanks for bumping with updated info my friend!
wanted to add:
Arsenal DIY - our beloved DIY at Arsenal park. new concrete obstacles have been added.

Q skatepark - indoor park in the industrial area of SW Indy. has a "transition" area and a "street" area. gets really busy on the weekends, is pretty dusty IMO.

The Warehouse in Bloomington - indoor park that looks to be huge and lots of obstacles. haven't been here yet but hope to go with a crew this winter.

I was there yesterday and learned there’s now plans to re-do the entire thing in concrete, ground and all.  Saw the plans and they look sick! They’re pushing to get as much done before winter as possible.

Looking at planning a trip down here sometime in the near future from Ontario. Anyone have any suggestions for food, things to see, spots, etc. Haven't fully decided my route but will probably loop around Lake Erie on my way in and out, possibly stopping in Columbus for one night and staying in Indianapolis for another before making the drive in one take back home. Anything to see/avoid along the way. I'm a fan of old weird landmarks, abandoned stuff, "americana" and anything that might have been historic. Also like nature.
