Venice Skatepark News!
This past Saturday morning, Zach sent us the latest plans for the park. We printed the plans and met with Christian Hosoi, Pat Ngoho and other skaters at Culver City skatepark in the afternoon. Christian, Pat and Jesse Martinez made slight changes to the bowl from our original design.The changes to the bowl call for a softer hip and a bit more curve on the opposite wall from the hip.
