Virgin Fest 2008: SkatePark

There is a nice breeze and a great view of the South Stage atop the skate ramp at Virgin Fest according to Stephanie Murdoch.

The ramp is there as a part of the SkatePark of Baltimore fundraiser, which is raising money to build a legitimate skateboarding park within the city limits.

This is the second year they've been at the festival but they are making a lot more money this year due to a much better location.

"[Last year] we were in a ditch... it was really hard to build a ramp," says Murdoch, the organization's president. This year, with the new and improved spot, people have been throwing (sometimes literally) much more cash toward the cause.

"It's great to reach so many Baltimoreans," she says.
