80's horror redemption



just so we're clear. the 80's were not a complete embarrassment. behold !! there may have been a skateboard bowl or three created on this earth as good as this one, but there has never been one better.

as i alluded once before, this piece of heaven on earth is rumoured to still exist. legend has it the thing is intact, albeit filled with gravel and covered with a false floor inside its original building near the corner of loomis road and 8-94 in MKE. when i wasn't riding around in neon on my pink ibis, this was the place to be back then.

a rich dude is out there somplace who could do this right - buy the joint and get it dug back out, for god's sake. like when the sword excaliber was stuck in the stone awaiting Arthur, this world and existance is in a State of Darkness so long as this bowl remains buried.

Never got to ride those tho. Started going there the year after they filled 'em in. Lame.

I just talk with one of my brother’s friends who said they busted it up before filling it in. The coping is gone and I think he said something about cement for the filling. Sorry Tim I do not think Surf and Turf will make a come back.
Back in the day he skated there and was one of the resident photographers. You might have even knew him he name is Ron.
