Penn Skate

🚨UPDATE -- STOLEN AUTO WAS LOCATED! Thank you for sharing the post! 🚨


This 1939 Ford Coast to Coast classic vehicle was stolen from a Breinigsville area hotel on August 22nd.

The classic vehicle was being transported in an enclosed trailer. The classic vehicle was in the area for a very large annual car show. The white Ford truck is the suspect vehicle. It was seen backing up to the trailer and pulling the enclosed trailer off the lot. The Ford truck has a very unique cab on it.

If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of either the suspect vehicle or classic car, please call Det Sal Aprile of the Lehigh County Auto Theft Task Force 610-264-8758 or Det Adam Miller of the Upper Macungie police 484-661-5911

It has already been a year since I posted about the upcoming closure…. It’s very difficult to describe how I felt this time last year…. Everyday I felt like I was in a fog and what was happening wasn’t really happening. Here I am a year later watching the memories from the last 25 years of my life being posted. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, messaged me, or posted pics. I miss my customers very much! It was great to run into several of you this year while I was out and about and I hope to see more of you!!! From my family to yours, have a Safe and Happy Holiday!!!!

Kind of an emotional week… this was my favorite time of the year because of the midnight session on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. A lot of people come home for the holiday and would stop in. It also started the indoor park season. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!! Also, the Penn skate web site is down due to some clerical errors but will be back online soon. All inventory has been updated but if you don’t see what you’re looking for send me a message. Penn Skate shirts and Hoodies are also available. I also have some orders that were never picked up. You can message me or email me so we can complete those orders. Thanks again for all the years!!!

I have had an open invite to go to camp for more then 2 decades! Unfortunately with the park I could never make the trip, even worse, all the people I knew at camp are long gone…. Well, I finally made it!!!! What a crew, what a blast! Thanks !!!

Announcement:

Posh Trails are closed until further notice starting Monday, June 12, 2023

Dear BMX community: a few days ago we were notified that the large quarry renovation project next to the trails would be expanding and that it will likely encroach into the Posh trails area. For contractual reasons, our landlord has had to suspend our access to the property. We are working closely with the landowner and while they are making every effort to preserve the trails in their current state, it does not look good. They have expressed sincere interest in continuing our relationship if possible when the scope of the renovation work is complete in the next few months. We will know our fate at that time.

We are asking the BMX community to please respect the fact that the trails are closed. We’ve had and continue to havean excellent landlord/tenant relationship with our landowner and don’t want anything to jeopardize our potential future - if the trails survive.

We sincerely thank EVERYONE who has supported us all of these years. We understand there will be a lot of questions and outpouring of support. Please understand we are fully engaged with the landlord and all possibilities have been considered. We simply need to wait and see what happens. We’ve had a great 30 year run and we are hoping we can continue. We will let the BMX community know as soon as we have more information. Thanks again for all of your support!

Thanks to for putting this together. The last few weeks of the park were a blur and I forgot I sat down for a few minutes to chat with him after he rode the park for one of the last sessions. I miss EVERYONE!!! Click the link https://youtu.be/PN3IJo-Tsys

Just an update for customers who placed pre-orders for tee shirts and sweatshirts: Order was submitted last week to printer. Thanks for your patience with this order. Clearing the building took a lot of my time. I just hooked the computer up last week to add up the apparel to send in to printer. I have been offline since early January. I will post when they come in. Thank you to everyone who ordered!!

Someone got an extra special piece of the park shipped to him out west!!! He was an important part of the park and I know he felt left out and heart broken that he no longer lives in the area. So here’s to you !!!! Build it!!!!

Going through my phone and some of the pics I took while packing up the park belongings…. 2002!!! For those that don’t know it’s a VHS tape… swipe and tag away!!!
