 Concrete Jungle Skatepark
|
PARK IS CLOSED: Check this out...
"I'm sad to say, that Concrete Jungle is no longer with us. The manager and an employee got into a fight, and the manager looted the store. I was very mad, because I was one of the few people on the team. There's a rumor that they might open it again. Some friends and I open the back gate and skate. Just wanted to inform you of the death of this park."
- Cool Guy: May 03
We think we know a thing or two about skateparks - especially in SoCAL - but we'd never heard of Concrete Jungle before we stumbled onto it in the middle of an all-day skate mission earlier this year.
This turned out to be an awesome neighborhood scene. Buried away in a strip mall, you'd never guess how much trannie they've got. You walk thru their fully stocked skate shop, thru a little door, into a realm of ramps and rippage.
Checking our options, we settled in to watch an evil session go down on the flat bar. Crazy skills were in attendance - totally surprising how good the locals were. Trick of the day was executed by local Rudy Medellin - boardslide, kickflip out - but that was just one of many.
We owe shout-outs to some of the other local head-bangers, including Adam Jaure, Jason Morrissette, Chad Latzke, Chris Jaure, Frank Cervantes and Prince Myrie. This place had so much talent. It was the kinda spot where the skaters just keep pushing each other, and pretty soon they've swollen collectively into a bubble of tricks way better than they ever would have put together on their own... skateparks kick ass!
