Josh Mattson testing out the Roosevelt Park in San Jose.
The Roosevelt Park in San Jose is similar to the Santa Cruz skatepark. Not surprisingly, both are designed by everyone’s favorite skatepark designer, Zack Wormhoudt, who arguably has increasingly improved his skills by his 100th design attempt.
Digging around on my hard drive this afternoon I stumbled upon some unused footage of Matt Neely (RIP 1999) and considering this is the 10th anniversary of his untimely death, I figured I’d post the clip as a tribute to Mr. Neely, one of the best underground pool rippers of all time.
The Cachagua Land project is a DIY “skate park” that Zarosh has been working on for the last few years. People come out to the land, deep in the Carmel Valley in central California to bring concrete, help dig, build and skate the ever changing concrete contraption. The project is a work-in-progress as cinder blocks, rebar, parking blocks, man holes, and hundreds of bags of concrete are collected piece by piece and bag by bag.
