The Jungle Bowl is another skate phenomena located in Southern California. We don't know the history but have heard years of it passed around to us by many die-hards. This past month we have paid it a couple visits and have fallen in love with it. With each pool we skate this seems to be the result.  Each time we have gone it has also had a new paint job courtesy of some local graffiti artists. The flies do tend to bother everyone, but its well worth dealing with. After all where else do you have a good backyard bowl that isn't a bust.
It's shaped like a imperfect Squash (Almost a kidney) and has about 100 layers of paint so it's slippery. The road getting there is also an adventure in its self. Long and windy up to the top of a ridge overlooking the San Gabriel Valley. (No directions from us, sorry)

The Shallow end is ridable on both sides of the stairs making re-entry possible with lots of speed. If you ever meet someone who has been there and can get direction, you should probably buy them a case of beer to trade for directions. It's well worth it to not pass it up. Don't forget your water/beer/radio/bug spray for a truly fine session.
