PARK
ALERT!
With the large number of skateparks opening
these days, most falling into the "mediocre" to
"suck ass" range, it was hard for me to drive
two hours outside of Philadelphia to a
skatepark in the middle of nowhere while try-
ing to swerve around dismembered wildlife on
the highway and bargaining for my life with
some short-tempered Amish folk.
Located on the outskirts of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, More Skatepark was definitely
worth the two hour drive and the one hundred
and fifty dollar speeding ticket I got trying to

get there. In the short time since
its conception, More is quickly
establishing itself as one of the
best indoor skateparks in PA.
Owned and operated by Jeff
Cochran and Scott Capinos, and
designed by Pennsylvania's own
Chad Kramer, the park has a
good variety of terrain to skate
and is constantly evolving. Locals
like Jesse Bradley, Brian Seber,
Chad Kramer, and Mike Evanick
can be seen daily doing what
they do best.
If you happen to ever take a day
trip up to Lancaster, perhaps to
run through some corn fields or
taunt some Amish youth, I sug-
gest you stop by More Skatepark
for a quick session. You'll end up
spending the day there-count
on it. -S Brodsky
