Our Beginning

Our first large scale project was building a skate ramp for Playland Community Skate park. We met with the founders of the park and collaborated with local skateboard shops to get the plans and materials we needed.

We had two weekend builds and ended the project with a Best Trick Skate Contest. Everyone was included - parents, kids, friends and family. That build marked the beginning of Dykes With Drills. It was something that couldn’t have been accomplished without the help of everyone.
