Chad DeGroot and a business partner opened the doors of Mesh almost four years ago and have since helped to keep the thriving Orlando scene growing. The park is home to the world-famous annual Baco-A-Go-Go jam known for its wild parties and insane riding. The park is divided into two sides, the bike side with the infamous camel hump jumps, vert wall, horseshoe bowl, hips, spines, mini ramp, and wallride; and the skate side with banks, ledges, rails, and wallrides. There used to be an outdoor bowl, but the wet Florida weather eventually got the best of it.
Chad DeGroot stays busy and does a great job of promoting the park so there are always new pros in town visiting even though central Florida isn’t an easy road trip destination. In addition to DeGroot; Mark Mulville, Trey Jones, and Johnny Devlin are all park locals so you are pretty much guaranteed to see good riding if you show up. Oh, and if you need any new parts, shoes, or clothes while at Mesh, they have you covered with their amazing pro shop inside the park.
Here’s our video from the ‘08 Baco contest at Mesh…
