In the efforts to raise money for the Peter Mathews Memorial skate garden KHVT has enlisted the help of Kickstarter.com to raise another $15,000 to add to the over $18,000 we already have!!!

If you have never heard of Kickstarter.com the way it works is you go to our Kickstarter campaign page online and make donations that you receive cool KHVT stuff in exchange for.

We will be launching the campaign on April 17th at Atomic Cowboy with a party featuring entertainment from:
DJ Crucial and DJ Hal Greens

We also have tons of sponsors that are donating prizes for raffles and silent auction that night!!

Plus Atomic cowboy has agreed to give KHVT 10% of food and drink sales from 7pm-10pm so come out and bring the family for dinner or just come for drinks and to support St. Louis first sanctioned free public concrete skatepark!!!

Note that the garden features and pond is not necessarily going to be in there. A local gardening club is working on the garden desig now.

*****DANGER!!!! BEWARE!!!!!*****

The bridge is especially crusty during these times of year... The bridge is from 1936 and has endured this long but barely... This is why they will be tearing it down within the next year and a half.

Freeze and thaw action causes chunks of concrete to fall from the roof sometimes. Be careful while skating down there or even better stay away till the low temps are done for the season. Definitely do not park your car under there if you value it...

More info on freeze and thaw...

 

Freeze-thaw action is when water seeps into a crack in a rock or concrete, as the temperature drops below freezing, the water freezes and expands causing the crack to enlarge. The ice then melts into water again as the temperature rises above 0 degrees C. This action is repeated until the rock or concrete breaks.

Help design the garden!!

KHVT is currently working with some local gardeners near the new skate garden site to get an idea of what the garden portion will include and look like. Here is a basic layout of the park and property. If you are interested in helping or have some ideas email them to us at kings.highway@yahoo.com.

New bank to ledge ready for action!!
