Cardinal Sinners Club

Here’s a couple of shots of another private indoor spot in Virginia known as the Cardinal Sins. I’m not sure how the name applies to this spot. Maybe some of the sinners will chime in. – Thanks to Chip Atkins for the pics

Jersey Orange Bowl

Some folks are looking forward to the Superbowl, while others in the New York/New Jersey area aren’t phased by a Jets loss, they are more interested in an Orange Bowl. Private indoor spot sent in by Eric G. I like the weird and angular volcano thing in the center. Did anyone realize that enlarge-o-rama is […]

SOTW 10-5-09: Jake Selover

This week’s Shot of the Week is Jake Selover putting the “tuck knee” in, uh, the tuck knee air out at his friend Dru’s vert ramp near Bend, Oregon. Yes, there is a vert scene in Bend, Oregon. The sign says “Next vert ramp 819 miles.” Check out the Shot of the Week.

Reader Ramps: Driveway = fun

I’ve seen a lot of indoor ramps over the years, but nothing quite compares to this bowled in living room. I especially like the diving board painted in persepctive on the back […]

Montana road trip with Team 283

I was excited to get an invitation to join Wally Inouye, Chris Strople, and Bryce Kanights on a four day trip to the Treasure State. Wally and Strople were childhood heroes of mine and I have been meaning to get up to check out the Montana skateparks for the last several years. Read the story […]

Another private bowl in Minneapolis

You know a scene is pretty healthy if there are not one, but two private warehouse skate situations. Joining the Hiawatha is something called OTC. The Old Timer’s Club has about 16 guys, all with families and a median age of 34. They’ve been working on getting this thing going since last spring, and now […]

One man’s discarded toy

One man’s discarded toy is the best thing that ever happened to another little kid. MC origianlly had plans to have some sort of mega session with people over at his place skating the new bowl and the old miniramp, but he got over that idea sometime shortly after the coping was set. The more […]
