The “O” is for re-OPEN
Big O is officially “open” for skateboarding again, after a two year absence. What was going on for two years? A new soccer stadium was being built, and the spot was supposed to be demoed with the old stadium. The community saved it by raising the money to have it physically dug up and relocated. It sounds absurd, but it’s true. Check it out on Exposé.

I remember this story. Brilliant!
save the turf!
Their site hasn’t been updated for a while. Did that fizzle out?
Spot looks fun as hell. Still, as the previous article link states, it would’ve been smarter to invest that “repositioning” fee into something identical and add on to it. Some spots wouldn’t be as good as they are if they hadn’t been torn out. Nostalgia and all that $hit.
