Opened last Friday, Austin's first centrally located public haven of extreme sporting is a 30000sqft thrash-zone with a massive snaking bowl (meant to accommodate multiple riders), wave-like skate-able sculptures, copious drops/stairs (including a railed 9-step), and a diverse mix of flatland elements influenced by famous spots like the Brooklyn Banks, where even the friendliest of skaters are likely to tell you to shove-it.
