Any chance you can help us by Tweeting in support of our project? This Pepsi Challenge gives $25,000 to the top 10 vote getters, and Tony Hawk helped move us from 74th to 7th overnight by Tweeting. Voting lasts all of February, here's the link. Our skatepark project in Bemidji, MN is clipping right along. Thanks for helping us through MTDN!
