rocks the new bowl (huge enlarged pic) |

|
| The Lula Bowl: this thing skates like a dream...they took a childhood symbol of oppression (school bus) and incorporated it into the sickest bowl...its shaped like a retarded boomerang, and it is steep and fast going into the cradle..from this hill you can see nearly all of Skatopia... | |

View
From the Lula Bowl of the Barn...the eerie glow was preceded by
a very loud explosion |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| The King Dong Ramp - it feels like skating in a gigantic Titanic - wear your knee pads unless you want tetenus... | |
 |

above
the imfamous Dong-Fullpipe Gap |
|
 |
the fullpipe...built to louisville's specs?..looks huge but feels tight once you're moving like a hamster in that thing... |
 |
|
| The Epcot Bean or The Punisher...I think The Punisher is more fitting, at least in my own painful experience...13 feet skatelite pit...it is WAY more intimidating in person...the locals skate this thing like they have nuclear warheads exploding under their asses...plan on frontside grinding at some point during your visit... | |
 |
|
 |
 |
| The Kidney Bowl...its steep and sick, but unfortunately has been infected with mother nature's wrath of the water table...it had a hella lotta more water in it in June 04 than when these pics were taken...someday it will be cured... | |

my first real board - psycho stick mini |
 |
 |
my
friend Adam gave me shit and called me a pussy when I didn't come
back from San Diego with the full size model instead... |
my
second real pro board - Lee Ralph - you will find all of your
old boards here as well - and punch yourself for chucking them
or using them as skimboards into a swimming pool |
 |
 |
Blind
Mark Gonzales Macaroni Everslick - my favorite board I ever owned |
Powell
Peralta Corner - Tony Hawk has been to Skatopia, and has since
signed that purple and yellow model of his... |
 |
Skatepark Rider...what a concept, especially now that Skatopia has redefined the word "skatepark"... |
| Scum
and other modern boards... |
