The Traditional Skate Bowl
Donation protected
My name is Mike Abramovitz. I live in South Salt Lake City, Utah. And I have been a skateboarder since 1985.
My dream for over ten years now has been to build a concrete bowl for skating in my backyard . I have been working off & on for about two years now on my project, removing trees and shrubs, digging, and placing brick comlumns filled with rebar and concrete for the platforms. I have drawn up exact plans for what I want to build, and I have stockpiled a large amount of rebar, wood, and bags of concrete to be used.
My wife Alisha and I both work full time jobs. I also own and run The Traditional Skateboards LLC, and we have diverted all of our excess time and funds towards invitro fertilization so we can have a baby. I have finally realized that I have to ask for help to finish my project.
I need financial help for more materials (mostly concrete) for the bowl, and to rent a Bobcat to use to dig out the remainder of the bowl. I would also like to pay anyone who comes to help me build the bowl.
I have a goal to completely finish building the bowl by the end of September as this is the 100 year anniversary of our house being built, and we are planning on having a "birthday party" for it.
Not only will I be thankful for any funds received that I can use to build the bowl, but once the bowl is built, it will become a permanent fixture in the Salt Lake skateboarding community, giving other skaters a place to skate and learn for years and years.
