Eco-cup


I’ve never been on a skateboard in my life. Ok, maybe once, sitting and racing across a parking lot while a friend pushed. But I just got a whole new respect for skateboarding as a sport and an art form. Even if you’re not a fan of skateboarding, I suggest everyone take a walk near the Eco-Cup skate ramp. There’s a highway overpass next to the ramp and so far, every skater I’ve seen has jumped higher than the overpass. Contemplate the height of that for a second. Scroll back up to that first picture for a second and contemplate.

Fan-freaking-tastic people. The skater starts at the top of the ramp near the tree tops. The TREE TOPS. And here’s a random pic of someone pulling off a cool jump:
