running a skatepark and not being in the whole is a bitch,with the cost of insurance and building cost the only way they can stay in business is charging a shitload of money for passes.But what probaly fucked them over the most is the olympics and the rise of all property in that area.

The movie Industry in Vancouver has also helped by taking up all open warehouse space and paying top dollar for short term leases. It's hard to find a warehouse to rent big enough for a decent skatepark that isn't 30 to 50 grand a month.

Thanks to Sluggo, Colin and Kevin for all their efforts.

I just dont see how an indoor skatepark can last anywhere these days.  Kids don't want to pay outrageous amounts of money to skate one, and they always make you wear full pads.  In fact, I don't see how any park, whether it be indoor or outdoor, that makes you pay and wear pads will last.  There is probably 5 or 6 parks within an hour of me, and the three that make you pay and wear pads are empty every single day, while the other ones are packed with 20 - 30 kids.  The only way parks are ever going to work is if the city donates it and lets it stay padless and free.

i honestly think the only way places can stay in business is if the city donates a building for free....then hopefully what they charge pays for some of the operating costs...

This just in: Kerry Getz threw a tantrum at the RDS Indoor park, causing its owner to pack up and close. Talk about shutting down a spot, this kid shut down an entire fucking PARK! Haters! Start hatin! Getz is going from town to town closing it down. And when I say he shuts a spot down, motherfuckers better recognize! He shuts a spot DOWN son.
