Obviously, I created this park for the KIDS, the campers that, with out them, i would have no reason to be here... and its done..  and i want to thank EVERYBODY involved that was part of making this happen; Louie, Quinn, Dave, Steve, Innocent, Tom, Three other guys that i dont remember their name, Gregg, Jackie, and Lisa.

ALL of u guys contributed to this project, and you all were part of making it a reality, Thank you


I also would like to thank the friends i made here this year.. you all hands down, blew away the staff of last year, no matter what departments u were hired to be in.  To my full time skate staff, Steve, Josh and Balazs, thanks to you guys we had eyes on every corner of that park to keep it safe.. and it helped FWF have a second consecutive year under my running of NO broken bones for the campers/outside staff.
And thank you to my supporting staff by titles of Supers and CIT's: Josh, Zynep, and Alex....and lastly, HUGH shout-outs to the other staff that kept the park happy and joyfull with ur presence each day, such as Samson (we all now know ur first name is Andrew, not Samson lol), Martin, Fraser, Timothy, Sarah, and dearest Elizabeth.

And now without further adieu, I present to you the Revolution/FWF Skatepark of 2009:

Hello everybody! its been about 5 weeks since i posted anything on here, and i think its time to give you all an update. 

First off, camp is going GREAT, the new skatepark is a great and wonderful sucess.

Secondly, my skateboard sponsor "Revolution Skateboards" has sponsored the skatepark, donated 20 Carbon Fiber Revdeck's to the camp and the park is now going to be known as "Revolution Skatepark" ... if you want info on this company and information on the boards they manufacture, go to www.revdeck.com .

ok.. lets talk BOWL... its been underway in construction for a couple weeks now, and i thought i would hold back on giving small updates in the beginning, and instead throw at u all three pics in one entry now so theres a nice impact on how its been going.

some information for you.. the Bowl shape is that of a standard kidney shaped swimming pool, its 6 feet tall all the way around, and the transitions are identical to the 6 foot tall Street Course.

So here u go, three stages of the bowl.. from empty space to full on framing. 

as another big change happends, i will post another entry so keep on the look out, or pay attention to my facebook status's when i advertize an update. www.facebook.com/alexander.azzi

Saftey barrier and chain link fencing for the Street Course:

Time to walk away from the Vert Ramp for a while until its time to start throwing the surface down, the entire frame is 100% completed now that we installed the top decking and bracing on both sides.

After lunch we started working on the Street Course, we decided to start working on the obstacles in the middle first, we cut and framed up the Launch Ramp, the Stairs, and the Step-Up Ramp.

Tomorrow we will be continuing on the Street Course by getting the rest of the mid section framed up, including the wedge ramps and middle tables.

The pics of the day:
