Skateboarding is community. That’s why Brenton and his friends put up a few plywood ramps and steel rails to make a DIY skate park on the abandoned tennis courts in South Omaha’s Lynch Park. They just wanted a place for neighborhood kids to skate and stay out of trouble. Only thing is: they didn’t get the okay from the city. The Parks Department says the ramps aren’t up to code and have to go. But Brenton knows what having a DIY means to the kids in South O. Come along as he wages an unexpected battle with city hall. Remember, DIY means “do-it-yourself,” but it also means “ain’t-nobody-gonna-do-for-you”—so it’s up to OG skaters like “Uncle Conny” to show the little grommets that community is about standing up for what your neighborhood needs.
