DC Shoes Press Release - Skate Plaza

Let the countdown to the grand opening commence---this is the latest photo from the location of the Kettering Skate Plaza, and as you can see, the snow has melted and construction is well under way. Crews are on-target to have the first Skate Plaza completed by the grand opening, to be held June 11 at Indian Riffle Park in Kettering, Ohio.

The city of Kettering has also posted some new photos, so follow this link to check 'em out---you are not going to believe that this place is made for skateboarding.

The Rob Dyrdek/DC Shoes Skate Plaza Foundation and the City of Kettering will host the Grand Opening Ceremony. There's going to be pro demos and a best-trick contest---stay tuned for more details.
