There was a man who once said... "I have a dream".  Well Chris and Terri of Washington D.C. also had a dream and together they brought a whole new meaning to making dreams come true....
           
 
       		It all started off with a thought, a concept, an idea.  Add in a lot of talk, creating hope, determination, and motivation. A team is born ready to take action.  Action begins by spreading the word.  Letters written, phone calls made, designs drawn.  Soon monies are granted toward the project.  A first step toward the reality of a concrete skate park in Washington D.C.  The D.C. Parks and Recreation become involved to help find a location.  X marks the spot and the project is ready to begin construction.  Volunteers are gathered to drive through a Winter and Spring season on an extremely tight schedule.  Several other pitfalls were encountered along the way that almost destroyed the reality of the Green Skate Laboratory.  Fighting back with the original hope, determination, and motivation that initially brought the project together, the crew was able to keep the dream alive.  Now the city of Washington D.C. has a skate park they can be very proud of thanks to the work of several determined skaters who volunteered their time, skills, and effort toward the cause.
