New Year Resolution

This New Year of 2009 that is coming up Midway is going to be having new waivers for the 2009 sease. So starting in 2009, if you are not over 18, your parent needs to get it NOTORIZED at your local courthouse or be present when they sign the waiver. We know that this may cause some problems for you and us but it is what we need to do because we are a legit business and want MIDWAY to stay open for a long time and hope that all you kids do to. So go to http://www.midwayskatepark.com/ , print out a new waiver, get it notorized, and then come shred Midway in 2009. Hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

December Shreddin

I was at Midway everyday this past weekend (what a suprise, not) not just because I work there but because it is possibly one of the best places to ride around. We were lucky to have nice kind of warm weather that it was bareable to ride in. Ton's of people came out and most of the Dead End Army dudes showed up through out the weekend which was good to see. There was a ton of good riding that went down and a lot of people that showed up to suppport the rider owned skatepark. Hopefully people will keep on coming so we can keep doing what we do for a long time to come. Thanks again to everyone for supporting us.

Ps. The poll is not real and what you vote on may not happen, I was just trying to see what people were interested in. Even though all you kids may want a foam pit it will likely not happen. Sorry

Please keep checking in for the latest news.

December Hours

(This goes to show that we are the, "Middle of No where, but diffenitely somewhere!" skatepark)

Since most High Schools and other local school have a day off on Friday, December, 12th we will be opening at 2pm for you to come and shred our park for two more hours at the same price of $8. Also we will be closed December 25th and 26th due to the holidays. Hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday. Hopefully you crazy kids will keep on coming so we can keep this park up and running. We just want to give people a place to ride and you guys make that happen. So thank you for everyone supporting us as we are going on our 5th year of being open. We couldn't have done it with out you.

Thanks,

Midway Still Going Strong

As everyone in Wisconsin that goes to Midway you know that it is cold, snowy, and icy. Since Midway has no heat, because we can not afford it right now, you people still come out and ride our ramps even in this cold weather. I just want to take some time and thank everyone that rides here and supports a local and rider owned skatepark. Hopefully riders will keep coming all winter long and ride. You guys and some girls are what keeps us going and allows us to stay open all year long and keep the setup fresh and new. Thank you again to everyone that comes to the "middle of no where but diffently somewhere" park and rides.

Thanks,

Dan~imal

SKATE LOCK~IN CANCELLED

The Skate Lock~In for Saturday, November 22nd has been cancelled due to intrest. We are sorry for any inconvienence (if that is how you spell it). This goes to show how much skating has died around Midway, we seem to be getting bikers from all over the state but no skaters at all. Hopefully someday it will pick up again and be back in full swing along with the crazy bmx that has been going on here. Well hopefully we will see you here soon shreding up the gnar.

Thanks,

Dan~imal

Midway BMX Lock-IN

Saturday November 8th, we will be holding a BMX Lock-in at Midway. The cost is only $20 and there will be fun, food, and a ton of shreding going on. Come to the premier indoor skatepark in Wisconsin and support your local skatepark, that supports you. Everything will kick off around 10pm and last until around 7am. There will be prizes for you to win and a great time for you to have.

Thanks,

Blacktooth Skateboards

Tonight the guys from Blacktooth Skateboards are coming to the park and to shred some major gnar. I have seen these guys before and they can get kinda crazy. It is going to be a wild time. Hopefully some of you kids can come and check it out tonight. They will be getting there around 7pm or so. In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the skating scene is down. Don't know what is quite going on there...we need to get it back up and rollin. Even though I am not a skater I support those who do it at Midway and who have a good time. Come and support your local skatepark.

Thanks,
