Skate City – Albequerque
Back in January, Local IQ: Albuquerque’s Intelligent Alternative included an article about their new skatepark. The article Skate City is available on their website and includes a feature about and photos by Mörizen Föche formerly of Thrasher Magazine. Looks like a cool setting if the pictures are to be believed, they did a good job referencing the local architectural and skate heritage. Too bad they obscured the photos with their fancy graphic designs.
Hey! Mofo all over the mofo place. You must have an actual print copy cause I can’t find that typographic intrusion on the web site anywhere. It seems like they cut off part of the text of the article too.
Yeah, my dad sent me the paper from New Mexico.
Theres Ryan EP. The “Skylit” bowl is so much fun.
I skated there last weekend. Pretty dang fun! Lights are sketchy for ripping in the dark. One of the straight walls in the half pipe area looks to be intentionally bent like a subliminal hip or something. Whoever’s idea it was to landscape the place with tiny rocks was not thinking of skater safety. The place is super somooth so one tiny pebble on the flat could be deadly. Definitley a skate destination in the southwest.
