Since the 7th Skatepark Build Update the crew started to lay concrete in the kidney bowl. They continued work on the snake run which looks ready for concrete too. They also started work on the water retention system at the bottom of the park. Here are some shots of the construction of the Ann Arbor Skatepark.

It was a really foggy morning in SE Michigan. Right before the fog burned off I stopped by a couple lakes and took a few shots. It was pretty eery out.
The concrete has arrived! The snake run has developed since the the 6th Skatepark Build Update. It was really interesting seeing how they blasted the concrete in place. They finished about 1/3rd of the clover bowl today and its looking really good! Take a peak:

I took an adventure day to Canada to meet up with some old friends and kiteboard at a new location. We rode at Seacliff park in Leamington. It was REALLY windy! I rode my 9m Liquid Force Envy for an hour or so then pumped my 7m and the wind just kept coming. It was a great first fall session. The water was warm and the company was great. It was really good to see Tim and Dan again. Here are some images from the session:
I made my way over to the 2013 King of the Great Lakes. The Grand Haven, Michigan based event is hosed by Mackite. We didn’t have the best conditions for wind, but the weather was spectacular and everyone got out for a couple good kiteboarding session throughout the weekend. It is always great to get the midwest kiting community together and see the newest gear. I also had a great skate session at the Grand Haven skatepark. They have a great bowl there that is worth taking a look at if in the area.
I took a little stroll to Argo and Bandemer parks yesterday. It was such a nice day out I had to take a break from work and enjoy the fall here in Ann Arbor, MI.
Since the 5th Skatepark Build Update, the crew has added rebar to both the bowls and shaped the coping for the top of the snake run. Looks like we might have some concrete being poured in the near future.

We adventured through the Bird Hills this afternoon. The area is a dedicated nature preserve open to hikers. There are many trails with varying topography to explore. Defiantly worth checking out.
Just a few snaps from a walk in Ann Arbor.
