The 2010 Regional Amateur Skateboard Tour (The RAT) is scheduled to kick-off on March 27th at Railroad Park in Lewisville, Texas just North of Dallas.
Railroad Park is a 250-acre recreational facility in Lewisville that officially opened Nov. 2. The park, located on the east side of Railroad Street between FM 3040 and Business 121, has eight soccer fields, four football fields, four baseball fields, a dog park and a long-awaited skatepark.
The initial response from local skaters and from the city of Lewisville has been extremely positive.
“The skatepark was something we were looking into before the land was bought,” said James Kunke, community relations and tourism director. “We know a significant segment of the population uses that as a recreation outlet.”
The Lewisville skatepark has a variety of obstacles including steps, ramps, rails and an in-ground bowl. And best of all…it’s free. This will be the first organized skate competition at the facility and we are stoked to kick off our year at such an awesome new park!
Created in 2009 by Dallas based Geiger Media, The RAT Skate Tour will consist of six (6) events across Texas and into Oklahoma. The series was created to give local skaters an opportunity to compete against their peers in a relaxed, fun environment. The series will start in Lewisville on March 27th then travel to Corpus Christi on May 29th, Oklahoma City on June 19th , Austin (Round Rock) on September 11th , New Braunfels on October 9th and the series will wrap up in Houston on November 13th, 2010
