Spohn Ranch is giving a facelift to a lowlyconcrete slab in Ft. Duchesne, Utah to make a plaza style skatepark for the Ute Indian Tribe. The tribe has 617 people, each human being gets 10.53 square feet of skate able terrain at the end of the deal. You do the math, or look at the pictures on Flickr.

This week’s Shot of the Week is is Rolf Hanson in Lindon, UT, taken by Gage Thompson. Once again, it’s a vertical shot so you must enlarge-o-rama to get the full frame.

Smiths for everyone! Smith’s? This week’s pun of the week is a Gage Thompson picture of Brodie Penrod taken in Rose Park, Utah.

This week’s Shot of the Week is Gabe Spotts with a switch Heelflip in Salt Lake City, UT, from Gage Thompson.

This week’s Shot of the Week is David Tucker in Orem, Utah as shot by Gage Thompson. That’s some serious tweakage!

Skate Utah has a pretty cool video shot at Rose Park. We’ve all seen the camera mounted under the skateboard shot before, usually in commercials, but this time it’s an extended shot complete with heel flip – I think, I get confused scrubbing the footage back and forth. The whole thing was done without expensive equipment actually, it was just one of those cheap helmet cams mounted under the skateboard. It’s an effect that would be really easy to overuse, but it’s still interesting. What about the miniramp ban in Salt Lake? Brian Baade has an update after the jump.
