Rising Sun Skatepark - Rising Sun, Indiana, USA

Rising Sun's skatepark is probably one of the better Skatewave skateparks that I've skated in the last few years. Big, smooth, and well-laid-out, this place is littered with street obstacles, with a spined mini ramp and a few big bank ramps and quarters tossed in for good measure. Beware of the brushed concrete finish: It's road-rash hell if you fall on it at speed, and could make lots of flatspots. I get the impression that this park is fairly new, and for what it is, it's pretty good. Might even be worth the short drive from Lawrenceburg, Indiana to pay it a quick visit, if street stuff is your bag. -Bud Stratford, www.thesolitarylifeof.blogspot.com
