SKATEPARKS

These are listings and information of skateparks in California as provided in the September 1998 issue of Transworld. It's a mad-crazy-cool issue so pick it up! Although skateparks aren't nearly as natural and dope as skating in the streets, at least no fatty cops will bust you. And also, please be advised that skaters are NOT the same thing as rollerbladers. I did not make this available with intentions for rollerbladers. They can kiss my ---.
