One of the major road blocks are advertisement, luckily for me I have worked as a promoter for many
party’s in New York. I know that the easiest way to promote something is through the internet and in order
to bring business you have to offer something different than your competition. So what will be different,
my park will feature something called a video room. It is where skaters can watch themselves skate from
the many cameras in the park, this technology will definitely attract skaters who don’t have people to film
them.
