Rebuild 2009 Officially Complete with Tranquility Rail Replica

Looks like today was the day to finally get the Tranquility Park rail replica fabricated and mounted on the new elevated big prop, complete with modular features. It took a lot longer than we thought it would to complete the project today. We started around 10:30am and had it wrapped up and ready for the first session at 8pm. There were a couple hang ups here and there and trips to Home Depot for various supplies making things progress slowly but by the end of the day it was mission complete. If you check out the pictures you'll Southside team rider George Karvounis watching intensely, barely surviving the wait for his chance to skate the new rail. It's kids like George that we had in mind when deciding that it was the kind of feature that we felt we needed to have in the park. I know that I witnessed generations of skateboarders here in Houston skate that rail for years. Why shouldn't today's younger Houston skateboarders have that same opportunity. Sure, they do have more terrain to skate that anyone ever had and the parks just keep coming which is great. I suppose we just felt that it was really important to have the good old Houston staple still active, in any capacity, for nostalgia purposes at the very least. The session tonight was super good, we knew immediately that we had made the right choice by bringing in the Tranquility rail. I laughed when someone told me that it was a great rail, possibly even perfect. If you think about it, we already had nearly two decades of test group results to look at to show us the staying power a rail like this has. To us it was a no brainer, super simple and completely obvious. We hope that you all come check it out and give it a go, even if only for old times sake.
