Sport
There are various skate spots around the world, mostly secluded away from the general public. Below we handpick some iconic locations.
STAIRS
We start our journey in Southern California, Los Angeles. Hollywood High is where one of the most famed 16 stairs lies, parallel to a 12 set. it has been skated by few but is on the bucket list for many. it has featured in Push magazine and even been re-created virtualy on the 'skater' app and the very popular game 'Skate 3'.
We then move north to the legendary 'Wallenberg' in San Fransisco. A massive 4 set sits there, 6 ft high and 22.5 feet long. It first appered in 1991 when Mark Gonzales ('The Gonz') ollied over it in his video part. it was then famed by Chris Cole when he Tre flipped (360 flip) it in his video part in 2005 for zero. Wallenberg is considered one of the 'gnarliest' skate spots in the world.
RAILS
'THE RAIL OF DOOM' - This is a DIY rail an ex-pro made in his back gareden. Elijah berle (Pro Chocolate Skater) 50 50'd it, while it was on fire, in King Of The Road. It is a curved down to up rail estimated between 12 and 15 ft long.
SKATEPARKS
Woodward East, Pensilvania is by far the biggest and has a total of 18 different skate areas which all include a skate plaza with a 4 block, various bowls, a speed skate course, different vert areas and a mini mega ramp. In addition there are many spots from woodward that have been re-created in various video games.
Lake Cunningham Regional Skate Park is considered one of the most intricate designs ever conceived for a skatepark. it consists of many vert and bowl structures and has a very iconic tunnel where many have attempted to ride the full loop but because of its sheer size most have failed.
