what would you do with 250 million dollars...open to everyone

**Poseur Pete** · 09-04-2009 12:42 PM

I'd use a nice portion of the money to buy the empty sub development where my favorite slide hill is located. I'd then convert it to the most epic outdoor concrete park ever created. Snake runs and slalom courses all down the hill, bowls at the middle of the bottom of the hill, street to the left bottom, and vert to the right bottom. It's lake front property, so kite surfing and wake boarding/skating could also be accommodated for those that want to get wet.

I'd throw an enormous grand opening festival that would include three days of live music, food, and competitions. Regular competitions would be held throughout the year at the park with tons of prizes up for grabs. Whatever money left over would be used on investments, promotions, lawyers to cover my ass, and upkeep for the park. Hookers and blow...I'm kidding...about the blow.

I'd build my own killer "parking garage" with a bar and a place for bands to set up and play. Oh, and Lamb Of God would play there the day it was open.

Id become the new owner of Rayne Longboards

and donate skateboard and longboards and safety gear to non profit organizations

**Delta** · 09-04-2009 02:20 PM

honestly i'd just buy clothes off people: i'd skate down the street and be like "yo dude, do you like those shoes? i'll give you $500 for em!" "say miss, i'll give you $2k for your shirt!" and i'd pay them in cash and make a show out of it. it would rule.

**Jesse Tighe** · 09-04-2009 02:30 PM

i'd buy switzerland and go skate.

**Cann0n** · 09-04-2009 03:07 PM

Oh yeah... Then I'd build a worlds tallest parking garage and pimp it out with concrete waves and snake runs.

**robert borek** · 09-04-2009 03:26 PM

id buy a parking garage in the centre of my city, repave it all with banked corners and stuff, have super fast lifts to the top, and have a big room at the top with a skateshop and a place for people to hang out.

the rest id just spend gradually on random ####

I know, I mean longboards have so many specifics, I feel like people deserve to try them on. The flex in one board may be perfect for you, but you'd never know. Maybe that concave wasn't as comfy as you'd thought, etc. I wanna know if my pants fit, I wanna know if the board fits.

**leadfoot** · 09-04-2009 05:02 PM

Id buy everyone here at the fish a set of wheels.

I love the garage idea you guys. A skate specific multi level park is an awesome idea.

**jabobstro** · 09-04-2009 05:09 PM

**dunnersboarder** · 09-04-2009 05:44 PM

i would build the biggest bestest downhill skatepark in the world, buy every body at the fish 1 item of their choice and then buy a few setups and millions of bushings!!!! the skatepark would be in an eco dome thing so it would always be dry and it would have permanent crash barriers on every corner
