| Review: | This is a really well rounded park with something for everybody. The Vert Bowl (old man section) has a type of V configuration thats unique but still has a place in it for all your classic transition flavors. Its set up so that kids can have fun in it too which is Jim's (not so) secret way of molding the new generation into vertical rippers. To that end he can also be found holding court along with a handful of pros every night. Showing the the youngins how to roll from your mellow tranny 6' to your 7' just to vert, to your X-games wall, and back again through some nice corners over hips and along "now your going faster" steel coping. Only thing not on the menu is Pool Coping which we know can be a maintance issue, but is none the less the greatest thing on earth.
Mini Peanut is garage ramp size and should boost your ego with a whole section of rounded lip so you can roll in as fast as you need to. Then cut you right back down to size as you get snaked by a 10 year old. The park gets crowded but is fun anyway due to the smiles on everybody's face and the nice smooth surface.
The Street section appears to have all the classics with some sneaky challenges for the guys with pop and the fancy shock absorbers.
Other points of note include: Transitions Big enough for kneepads. No helmet can lead to a shake down from the police setting the tone at a new park. Heavily Milfy with alot of spectators/hands-on parents. Multiple drinking fountains. And the stained concrete is nice too. Def worth the trip

A Skatepark Directory such as SoCal Skateparks can help you to find the best Skateboard Parks in Southern California. We have put this Skatepark Directory together so that skateboarders in Southern California can find skateboard parks easier. Skateparks are important to the foundation of skateboarding. In order for skateparks to remain vibrant in SoCal we have to do our best to make sure that the skateparks that are built here are going to be skateparks that our children will want to skate 20 years from now. We want this to be your first choice skatepark directory and hope that all of the skateparks listed here will help you to find your way. |
