- Ken Matter: How many of these were made?...
the blue tiled one is pretty sick looking.hmmm, how far is littleton……
The red tile bowl looks rather similar to Bucky’s… though probably not as massive…
Those offset transitions on the roman end bowl are quite significant compared to the tight radius of the centered bowl on the facewall. Looks a bit challenging.
22 hours one way to littleton…
Does anyone know of a skatepark list (with directions to good skateparks in, and on the way to Colorado), other than Thrasher? I think I finally need to go visit my friend in Littleton.
Try Concrete Disciples.com
The red tile bowl looks surprisingly similar to the BCSA
long lost twin for sure…
im pretty sure that the BCSA’s is a lot better
I don’t know GetRad, I’d rather skate a concrete bowl than a rendering from MC’s computer.
I can’t believe they have two big bowls side by side like that. Must be a huge park.
Hass – Worddpress doesn’t allow regular users to post html in comments. I’m running WordPress MU, and it’s even more restrictive, an admin can’t even post sone html elements like images in comments. I used to be able to before I switched to MU. Kind of sucks. There are a few other annoying “features” like that. I think they are supposed to be for security, but still, I’d prefer the option to decide how restrictive it is. I need to investigate some plugins to allow this. I’ve checked out a few and tested them but haven’t found one that works the way I want.
KC this list has been helpful. It is not 100% up to date, Snowmass has Dreamland crete now! I rode it last Saturday.
http://www.thecoloradoskateboardguide.com/index_files/coloradoskateparks.htm Colorado has many great parks now! C.D. has good info as well. I rode Memorial Park the Team Pain park in C. Spgs a few weeks ago. It was sick! If you come to Colorado you have to hit Aspen, It’s an older Team Pain park but a classic I.M.H.O. I love that park. Sorry to Hi Jack the thread. Roxborough looks RAD! T. Pain ROCKS!
Colorado has a pretty good skatepark map that folds out like a regular map. Search it out, not sure if it has been updated recently though..
bowls next to each other is a go!
bowls next to each other is a go!

Colorado Skatepark Guide: Here’s a link
Male model/pool barging hessian, Fabio has a roman pool at his tuscan villa.
Holy crap, that’s a lot of parks.
Any recomendations?
