Pearl Jam bassist builds skate park in hometown
BIG SANDY, MT
The park was finished Tuesday night and the Great Falls Tribune
reports Ament was up just minutes after sunrise Wednesday to give
it a spin.
Ament says as towns get smaller, it's important for kids to have
something to do besides school sports, which is why he picked up
the $40,000 tab to build the park.
Ament says he plans to buy a few skateboards, helmets and pads
to keep on hand for kids who don't have them. And next spring he
says he plans to bring some friends who are professional
skateboarders to town to put on a show.
