The Ankeny Crew is a group of guys that like to ride our bikes. We all live or are from Ankeny. This site will feature some of the riding going on here but there will also be pictures on this site from riders all across Iowa and riders from other states that impress us at the stops we make.

The Ankeny Skate park is our home park. The park opened in the summer of 2002. It is a concrete park.This park is where we spend the majority of our time in the summer since most of us can get to it within minutes.

BELOW ARE A FEW OF THE RIDERS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN BIOS ON BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER GREAT RIDERS THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE CREW THAT I WILL GET BIOS ON AS I CAN.
