Camden Skatepark
We are a group in midcoast Maine (occupied Penobscot land) actively working towards relocating the skatepark.
Our immediate goal is to create a recreational space welcoming to both beginners and extreme sports enthusiasts.
Be a drop, a stream, or a raging river—it doesn’t matter which form you take , as long as you remain in the flow. — Baron Baptiste

Oliver asked the Select Board last night to release money for much needed repairs to the skatepark and new elements added. 🤟🏽
Skaters: On Saturday, a long board was stolen from the Camden library sometime between 2:30-5. It has a sticker on it that says “Daddy’s”, red trucks, and multi colored wheels. Let’s get it back for Bowdy!
This looks familiar. Thank you to everyone who gave to the GoFundMe campaign!! The plywood was essential!
Virgil Abloh’s current exhibit at The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston starts with the half pipe and continues with collaborations with Kanye and Louie Vuitton.
Frontin', 2020 Virgil Abloh
This sculpture takes the form of a half-pipe. Skateboarding has been a significant part of Abloh's life since his teenage years in Chicago. He described the half-pipe as an influential object for him: it straddles the space between architecture and sculpture, it brings people together, and it embodies a DIY aesthetic. Frontin' recalls the plywood and Masonite ramps that young people all across the world build for themselves to experiment, take risks, and play—Ideals central to skateboarding cluture and to Abloh's creative practice.

We are on the final push for the Skatepark GoFund me campaign. Please give. We are so close to our community goal of $5K.
Many skaters have given their own money to the fund, Owen being the first. https://bit.ly/3gIYVM1
Over the weekend the skatepark was vandalized, along with other locations in town. The skateboarding community is vehemently opposed to any hate language or symbols. 🏳️🌈✊🏽🥰
