TEXAS
Baytown Skatepark
Houston, TX
The park consists of an outside street course featuring a pyramid, a big flat bank, a very small flat bank, a jump ramp that's cool for transfers to the big flat bank and a slide/grind box. The street area isn't all that big, but it is still rad, and hot as hell. The two ramps they have are inside a warehouse.
Vert Ramp : 10' radius, 1.5-2' vert, c.20' wide, a few soft spots but good.
Spined Mini Ramp : tightish radius, 4-4.5' high, 20-25' wide. The spine pulls you over to an identical but less used ramp which is a bit faster.
Directions:
(From Houston) take I-10 East, exit Wade Rd. (Exit 790). Take the IMMEDIATE U-Turn Exit (You'll be heading West on the feeder road). Turn Right under the freeway and go down Wade Rd. for about 1 mile. It's in the big sky-blue warehouse on your left.
Hours:
Sun - Fri : 3pm - 9pm Sat : 1pm - 12 midnight
Cost:
$5 / day No membership requirement Under 18 must have parental consent form on file

Located at the Spruce Peak base area of the Stowe Ski area it consists of a 24' wide vert ramp, 11' tall with way too little flat, a 24' wide spine ramp (one side 7' tall, the other 6' tall), a pretty large outdoor street course that slants down hill, a small asphault bowl and a downhill racing course designed for inliners but is fun nonetheless because it has several rollers that can be ollied off of.

Pulaski Park
Washington, D.C.
Skating in D.C. is now a bust. Cops will arrest you and they will ticket you - and not just at Pulaski, but any federal building or monument. Watch out for DCPD and park police, they both can hurt you. Metro police have no power, don't worry about them unless they call in the real guys.

Just a piece of concrete that used to be the flat bottom of the ramp, a jump ramp, a crappy pyramid with sides that have 90 degree angles, a bar and a not so fun box.
