Headline: Canadian Boarder Creates Revolving Skate Park On Ice
Caption: Canadian Boarder Creates Revolving Skate Park On Ice. Canadian skateboarding legend Ryan Decenzo has created his own revolving board park on ice. While most retreat indoors when lakes freeze over, Decenzo and his crew have transformed the icy expanse of Coon Lake, Minnesota, into a spinning skatepark like no other. His latest YouTube release captures how he, alongside fellow skaters TJ Rogers and Torey Pudwill, tackled an ice carousel—an enormous, rotating slab of ice cut from the lake’s surface. The ambitious DIY project, engineered with the expertise of ice carousel specialist Paul Miller, featured a series of challenging obstacles, a spinning goal post with a precarious gap, a rotating quarterpipe that disoriented even the most seasoned skaters, and a circular rail demanding supreme precision. The trio battled freezing temperatures, unpredictable movement, and the limitations of their equipment, wax refusing to stick in sub-zero conditions, water splashing onto their gear, and daylight dwindling as they attempted increasingly complex manoeuvres. Ice carousels, a tradition originating in Finland, have long been a feature of winter festivities across North America, evolving from simple ice-cutting experiments into record-breaking engineering marvels. Communities in Canada and the US have embraced them, crafting giant spinning platforms for ice fishing, bonfires, music festivals, and now, skateboarding.
