Eureka Skate Park Description from City of Eureka Website

Here is a descriptoin of the Eureka Skate Park as described in the Eureka City Website (http://www.ci.eureka.ca.gov/depts/pw/parks/skate_park.asp)

The Eureka Skate Park is located at Cooper Gulch at 8th & "R" Streets (end of 8th Street off of Myrtle Avenue). The 12,000 square foot skate park contains something for all skaters including bowls and street features. The largest bowl includes a 10 foot overt pocket with two more eight foot pockets and 6 foot hips. Connected to it is an 8 foot open ended square with round corners. All of the larger bowls have pool coping.

A 4 foot mini bowl cascades down to 6 feet, and wraps around to the 8 foot square. These feature galvanized metal coping with a metal edged banked extension in the mini bowl that shares the decking with the square bowl.

The top of the park features a 3 foot rounded wall that drops into a flat section with two grind bars which wash into a 5 foot quarter bank that has metal coping and decking, creating a set back ledge alongside the mini. The bowls are surrounded by ledges with metal corners. Adjacent to the 6 foot quarter bank are two sets of stairs with handrails.

Maloof Money Cup is set in NYC this Year and will Leave the Skatepark this Time

As reported in SkateDaily.net,this year the Maloof brothers will build and leave the skatepark this year. Here is the report:

The Maloof Money Cup has released a comprehensive design for the 16,000 square-foot skate plaza that will reside permanently at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York. You can view the rendering and additional info via the TWSkateboarding site.

The design of the skate plaza to replace the park’s deteriorating Astral Fountain was conceptualized by Chris Cole, Geoff Rowley NYC skate legend Steve Rodriguez and Joe Ciaglia, president of California Skateparks and it looks solid with replicas of several NY street spots. And even though it will undoubtedly become a huge attraction for skateboarders and NYC Parks & Recreation Department’s “Adopt-a-Park” program for years to come, the flow of this plaza appears to funnel down into one central area and not in other non-linear directions. That’s just our opinion, but then again, Leo Romero can help to change that can’t he?

The Maloof Money Cup co-presented by Vans will host the world’s top professional skateboarders at the 2010 Maloof Money Cup at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens this summer from June 5th-6th, 2010.

Freddie Tan should be Pro

I just discovered an up and coming Asian Skater on YouTube today, his name is Freddie Tan. He has good style, skates super fast, does crazy flip tricks in long runs and over stairs and gaps. He looks like he should be pro but he is still AM as of this writing. Check out his skating below and you will see what I mean.



Here is a more recent video part with Covert Skateshop:

Greg Myers: Skateboarding is Forever Video Part from DC Shoes

I just watched Greg Myers' part in his full length video part, "Skateboarding Is Forever," from DC Shoes. The video of it from YouTube is below:



This is by far one of the best video parts I've seen in a while. Greg Myers skates fast, with style, goes nar all out on stairs and handrails, as well as keeps it tech with switch front-side flips over stair gaps with rails and really high 360 Flip Hippy Jumps. The first 360 Flip Hippy Jump that starts out his video part was probably waist high.

Greg Myers is a skater to watch out for in the coming years because not only does he have a bag of tech skate tricks, he does them big, high (with super pop), and goes fast!
