"This idea came to mind after many morning sessions by myself. I had a routine schedule I found myself in just before summer started. I would drop both the boys off at school Tuesday/Thursday and get to Jurupa about 9:10 in the morning. The park gate didn’t unlock until 11AM, and this was my window of free time to just ride with no interruptions. I wasn’t going to let a locked up skatepark deny me of that. I would just simply hop the fence as gracefully as you can be. At that point, I’d have the entire place to myself. I started just having my own 'private sessions'. " - Jared Eberwein
