Contest Spot Check: Raging Waters

If you're an avid reader of the site you'll recall my trip to North Carolina in December to check out that Olympic White Water Rafting Park, and this was sort-of the same thing. What are the chances of two completely un-related contests at two different water-related parks happening during the same part of the year on opposite ends of the country? Go figure.
We were staying in Costa Mesa, so the drive to San Dimas on December 27th wasn't that bad. I was meeting a couple of the guys from Utility and Jeff King out there to give the overall evaluation.
Don't you always go to places like water parks and think, "Man, if we could just skate that?" I do all of the time and it was cool to check the place out with no people and no water. There were definitely some possibilities out there, so please enjoy the pics.
I don't know if either contest is going to happen at the moment, but sometime down the road I'm sure one or the other will work out.
