Neil Blender, Steve Caballero and Steve Steadham shreadding Lincoln in the mid 1980s
I snagged these photos from the Thrasher Magazine website, 'From the Crypt'. Neil Blender, Steve Caballero and Steve Steadham skating Rich Flowerday's vert ramp in Lincoln in 1983 or 84. Someone send me more info about the 'Midwest Melee' ramp series of contests.

Found this on the web: Firehose and Minutemen, growing up next to Rich Flowerday's backyard ramp. I remember several Midwest Melee contests in the mid-'80s. Christian Hosoi slammed and separated his shoulder and my dad drove the van to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital. Gator tried to do my sister. Lance Mountain had an allergy attack due to the neighbor mowing the lawn. All the Skate Rock coming from the boom box back then had to have an influence on me. -Brendan McGinn Lead Guitar, Her Flyaway Manner
The Columbus Skatepark has moved to east Pawnee Park. Beautiful location for the park. I'm glad they didn't put up a fence around it, there's really no need for a fence.

I couldn't have picked a better place myself. : ) Columbus skate park is moving to East Pawnee Park. It should be far enough from homes to not annoy anyone, Pawnee Park has rest rooms, drinking fountains, parking and great shade at that location. Good place to move it Columbus!

I watched this live and couldn't believe he came back for another run. Hats off to Danny Way. Burnquist won it, but Danny Way gets the toughness award this year.
