Yeah, I've been to RISE a good handful of times. The guy running it is awesome, took us street skating and let us skate the short-lived park during the winter. Middlewestern is one of my favorite videos with dudes like Rick Eusey and Steve Fauser who were on RISE. (Gotta shouts out to Greg Piloto, he was/is so good!) RISE is still around 3 and a half hours from me, and Uprise is about 45 minutes on a good day. I'm in between the bubbles of 2 good skate scenes.
