| Introduction | I am the only indoor skatepark in Houston and the oldest skatepark in Texas. Over the years every single Pro and Am has passed through my doors. I have a deep, devoted love of skateboarding and I choose to remain open forever to give skateboarders a place to commune and enjoy an indoor environment free of mother natures wrath. Slowly but surely my interior is becoming more natural street oriented which is really getting the ball rolling with an ever increasing frequency of skateboarders making the pilgrimage to skate within my walls. I boast the largest hardgoods selection in the state with more than 500 decks on hand and ready to rip at any one time. I host various contests and events throughout the year. My large summertime contests are Young Guns and Southside Showdown which take place every year in July. I also help to raise money for the Texas Make a Wish Foundation through the Johnny Ramano Skate Jam (formerly Texas Skate Jam) which has been onging since 1996. I hope to see each and every one of you very soon and will keep my 24' diameter ceiling fan, granite ledges and spined bowls waiting for you.
