The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good: I have a representative of the action sports community from Maine retweets my video and even better if he would share it on his wall. Though I need to make sure theres a way for people to follow up on the video if theyre interested. I would do this by adding a link at the end of the video to the squad facebook page. The best outcome would be that the video goes viral along with the facebook page and we could use the numbers and displays of support to convince the student government to let us build a skatepark.

The Bad: If the video actually did go viral my biggest fear would be that people from around the country would use the facebook page as an argument page discussing whether or not skateparks are a good thing. If that were to happen I wouldnt be able to show the student government that we had support from people.

The Ugly: The most likely reason the video would die would be from bad follow up information. With a lot of big projects like this people, if theyre interested, need to have some way to get involved (show that they can have some part/that they have some importance) in the project. I need to figure out a way for people to get attatched to the project in some way; that might be starting a kickstarter, doing a skatepark blog or anything that will keep them checking our progress and feeling rewarded for doing so.
