DC Groundbreaking - the skate plaza explanation

As cities across the globe continue to ban skateboarding, skateboarders are left with nowhere to legally ride. Roughly 90% of the 13million skateboarders in the U.S. consider themselves 'street skaters', and they find it increasingly difficult to skate as more and more fo their spots are 'skate proofed'.

Rob Dyrdek realized that something must be done and ultimately became the architect of the solution; The Skate Plaza.

Groundbreaking documents the development of the world's first Skate Plaza in Kettering, Ohio - from concept through completion.

Not just a video of great skateboarding, Groundbreaking also serves as a tool to educate and raise awareness about the need for proper places for street skaters to legally ride.
