This will be a private park rental, meaning only people buying tickets from Ferris Wheels will be able to attend. This makes it an ideal time for beginners or people who would not normally go to a skate park.
Tickets are $20/person. Prepay with cash in the shop, or paypal to: [email protected]
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. If it snows, we’ll still be going, and hopefully everyone else can still make it. If more than 20 people prepay, we’ll use the surplus cash to buy pizzas!
Sorry, bikes only for this trip. Oh, and bring some music you want to ride to.
Event is 18+ unless you bring your parent or guardian with you. Let your friends know about this event on Facebook, Upcoming, or Google.
Please contact John with any questions: [email protected]
