This is an attempt to save Richmond Virginia's most loved and most famous skate spot. This skate spot has been around for years, untouched by anyone except skaters. Local skaters have slaved in the hot sun and cold winters to make this slab of concrete one of the best skate spots on the east coast. This spot has been featured in many skate videos and is very well known all across the east coast. I recently found that this spot is potentially due for destruction by the land owner. Alot of the things built there have already been destroyed and it is fenced in. My goal is to get as many skaters from the area, some Am and Pro skaters, to sign the petition to get the proper permission to skate and build at Hippoland. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT DONATIONS AFTER SIGNING!!!
The groundswell of support for HippoLand proves that this crew is not going to let the property owners bulldoze our culture without a fight. We have built too much sweat equity into this concrete to let them treat it like trash. The momentum is here so keep the pressure on these landowners until they acknowledge we are staying.

so much work went into that place. it makes no sense to ruin a perfectly good spot that tons of people use just to put up a fence and let it rot.
