I've been blessed/cursed with working in television which is seasonal. I have recently had 4 months off. My side business is filming and editing video for dental surgical companies and skate companies. ( both involve blood). This sends me off to most of So.Cal. to film or as I tell my wife, I have to go to these parks to check when the lighting is best so I know the locations to call based on time of day and hazy/fog/clear days.
She actually bought into the excuse.

Santa Barbara to So. Orange County
Good-
Temecula Public
Ollie House Temecula
Vans Orange
Brickyard
Skatelab
Brea Public - fun bowl.
Bell Gardens Public - fun little bowl
Diamond Bar Public - nice overall layout
Santa Barbara - not confirmed but I hear it's good
Vans Ontario - not great, fun outdoor section.
Corona #1 - could be fun if no groms are there.
Malibu - only one thing to ride but it's fun
San Jacinto Assembly of God church skatepark - being built and designed by Tom Fain. It will be open in a few weeks and will have a bowl.
Don't bother -
Fullerton - best of the lame parks, real small street only
San Dimas - smaller and lamer layout. Nazi cops.
Glendora - lame layout
Long Beach - horrible concrete and coping work
Camarillo - bowl can be fun but hard to keep speed in.
Santa Clarita - don't waste your time, if it's not groms, they're filming Razor ad's.
Glendale - you call 3, 2 foot ramps a skatepark?
Burbank - you call 4 dangerous ramps on a tennis court a skatepark?
Clairmont - small doesn't describe how small this place is.
Huntington Beach - too crowded and small, if you had it to yourself, you could have fun.

rj, could you give a little more detail? So Cal is big, and there are lots of parks. Brea in north orange county is fun. I've heard good things about fullerton. San Clemente is good too.

Richmond VA
The best spot I've found is Hollywood Cemetary. Steep and
winding trails and everything else. Downtown Richmond is
nice too but too many intersections. I know Blacksburgs
best spots too.

I heard that the concrete work was awful and needed to be completely rebuilt. It's nice to see that they are going to rebuild it.
The other cities with poorly design and constructed miniature skateparks should follow Coronado's example.

Any carvers in SLC area need to check this out-
South end of the valley, particularly in the rich areas of South Jordan and Riverton, are the most beautiful hills with the most beautiful cars never driving on them. In fact, hardly any cars ever drive on them. And these hills are perfect for leisurely rides. They range from 5-30 degree slopes, the more shallow the longer the ride. These communities were seemingly designed for longskating.
Anyone wanting to go carve w/ me, e-mail at illbox@hotmail.com.

Denver Skate Park - Commons Park Near 15th and Platte

I live near the new skate park they're building in Commons Park (this is just North - via the Platte River Trail - of the REI at 15th and Platte). It looks like construction is coming along. It should be a hoot to ride there.
Does anyone know when the completion date is though?

Where is your shop, I might happen by on a Saturday sometime. I'm getting ready for some outdoor climbing again, so I'll be at Campmor or Ramsey Outdoor in the near future. It would be cool to ride with someone who has some experience. I'd like to see what other people are doing with the sport!
Thanks.
PS - I'm going back to Vegas the weekend after Easter to climb the prince of darkness. I got waethered out in October. I didn't get any response to my posting back then, but I've had the Red Rocks loop road in my mind since then. The pintail is coming with me!!!! Hugh R also had a couple nice pictures of some ditches in Henderson. I wish I booked a longer trip!

I've just checked out some of the hills around Bethpage Park and some of them where all right, none where to long, but you could get some speed on them. Watch out a buddie of mine busted his head and had to get stiches, along with the worst roadrash Iv'e ever seen on someones face.
