Skatepark Video Contest

Baytown Skatepark Video

Check out this cool montage filmed by a couple of local skaters at the Unidad Skatepark in Baytown, Texas.  The park is one of Spohn Ranch’s recent Hybrid Skateparks which consists of Spohncrete and TrueRide elements.

Skateboarding action in Cuba

Check out PoolSnob’s blog over at Fuel TV for further coverage of Spohn Ranch’s recent Spohncrete additions to the skatepark in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  There is a nice interview with Mimi Knoop, who grew up skating in the Bay, with some great photos to go along with it.

Stay tuned to Fuel TV for video coverage of the skatepark installation.

Dunlap Skatepark featured on The Berrics

The Berrics, the most popular skateboarding website in the world, recently hosted the second annual Bang Yo Self! contest on their site. The contest challenged skaters to create a 45 second video with their best footage and post it on the site. The winners were announced yesterday and featured in one of the videos was Spohn Ranch’s very own Dunlap Skatepark in Washington Township, Pennsylvania. Check the footage at the following link (there are a few tricks featured on the slanted manual pad about half-way through the video).

Apparently the unique street obstacles built into this park are a hit with the skaters. Click on the photo above for a complete flickr gallery of this innovative skatepark designed and constructed by Spohn Ranch.
