Called Niel again tonight, he said I have to go to the skatepark to work out more details. I'm probably going to head up there sometime this week. It's an hour drive for me so It's a process haha.

John, I have no idea how else to get in contact with you but i figured this was updated today so it's pretty recent haha. This is Matt Dibble. Kids on SR are talking to the 4seasons guy about getting a competition going there this summer, I think they might be aiming around August but not so sure. I would love love love loveee to see this turn into a transit 2 type thing, just a less expensive/less time consuming version ya know? Just like the panasonic 3 chip camera and a web edit released from the trip. But this brings me to my predicament, I don't know a single person from the midwest really besides you and Matt haha. I know both of you are farther away from the scene than you were a few years back so I understand if you'd be over doing something like that. Buttt, I'd be able to drive out there this summer, I have room for 4 people in my car, so I could probably help out with rides and such getting from skatepark to skatepark. I just don't know the parks as well as you do and I definitely don't know where any street is. Last thing on my list of things is places to stay, I know for transit you guys got hooked up by that church for a place to stay right? I don't know if anything like that would ever be possible again? Haha sorry for no details I'm just really looking to make this happen, but without knowledge of the area really I'm failing =)

butt yeah, I probably won't remember to check the comments of this again, so could you e-mail me a response? srpotw@gmail.com or even a PM on SR works.
Thanks dude, I appreciate any response, even if it's "there is no way that'll work out." haha

What up Matt,

That sounds like a really cool idea! Unfourtunately I haven't lived in Wisconsin area for years. I've been staying in Joplin Missouri for the winter to remodel a park down there ( autumnramppark.com ). I heard from 4seasons employees that both 4seasons parks will be shut down by spring! And during the summer I'm normally on tour so I usually don't have time to do that sort of thing. Sorry bro, don't think that will be happening. Good to hear from you though!
If anything does end up going down I would love to be part of it, but I don't know my schedule so chances are slim.


take care

That's awesome to hear you've had a chance to travel and stuff. I watched some videos that were on your blog and on your Vimeo account and seems like the ideal life haha. And ahh that sucks to hear about the 4 seasons parks, they look so fun from the videos and I haven't had a chance to ride anything out there yet. Do you think you'd be able to help me by getting me names of skateparks so I can look up addresses and stuff? If i make it out for that comp I definitely wanna hit at least the whitewater park, and probably some of those other outdoor parks that were in transit. With the addresses and my GPS I could probably find 'em haha. Do you know anyone else who is still in that area who would be knowledgable like a local would be about spots/parks that I could get into contact with? I'm pretty dead set on making something like that happen, just need some resources haha. Butt yeah, thanks for a quick response, I really appreciate it. Stoked that you've been able travel and document so much of it. Hope all stays well with you man.

I'll keep you guys updated.

So John basically said no?

And this would be amazing if we could do a transit 2, I'd say we deff need some gnarly riders to fly in from the east or west coast though. Dalton Mazzante, Jon Meadows, Sean Cardwell, and Bret Ladentine are all staying at my house for a week in the summer to shred some parks.. maybe we could make something out of that?

Time for some brainstorming haha.

You didn't hear it from me but a certain company based in texas has been planning to do a road trip with its team, it might be possible to get the riders up in wisconsin to be a part of this.

Matt Dibble wants to follow this certain team based in Texas in his own car and ride all these sweet spots/parks.
