Sumner Skatepark - Sumner, Washington, U.S.A.

You might mention its all pool coping, even the street course (!). The bowl is incredible, lots of flow, corners perfectly off-set from one another to sling shot you from the square "Butter Bowl" type end to the long 6ft. flat wall to the "Corner Pocket" section.

Dudes who rip will ride it like a snake run, airing over every hip and linking up endless transfers.

Dudes who kinda suck like me will still have a blast whipping through the different corners spraying pool dust all over the place like confetti. If you are a total novice at bowl riding, you can go right to the "street area", which has all sorts of different mellow bowled corners and hips ranging from 3ft. to 6ft. All skaters will the unique, never-before-seen elements of the street area which have to skated to be understood. The abundance of pool coping in this place will make almost anyone a believer in precast concrete grinders. You gotta ride over it and through it like Obi Wan. It is not like locking into a railroad track grind on steel coping--you need to grind it like you mean it. - Chris H.
