    Great work Jeff! (and thanks again for help making the one in Missoula a reality as well). Im actually a counselor in Missoula and I know for a fact how that skatepark is helping keep kids out of trouble!
    I hold the pain, release me!

    Fuck yeah Jeff!!! You rock, I have never been a Skater, I was always out on Horseback.. and will do so til I die, but my brother still skates to this day and I forwarded htis to him, as he's going out to MT in a month or so, maybe he'll get to go check this out.. hope so cause it looks awesome!!! We all came from a small town in Cali, so I know hat he means when he says we gotta get kids involved in things that are productive, as, in small towns there's often not alot to keep them occupied!! Way to go Mr. Ament, hats off and bows to you sir for doing this..

    Right on. We need more skate parks. I spent most my teen years getting kicked out of skate spots and ticketed and told to go to designated spots. The only problem is the only skateable designated spot cost 17 dollars for 3 hours of skating. I couldn't afford that at that age. Way to go Jeff give the kids a place to skate.
    Shows:
    San Diego 2003
    Grand Rapids 2004
    Grand Rapids 2006
    Detroit 2006
    Columbus 2010

    Do we need anymore proof as to why Jeff is simply an awesome guy? It's reassuring to hear of people high status or not, doing things for their community. The attention Jeff gives his hometown is very admirable. Nice job, Mr. Ament!
