Awesome Skate Parks

When does skating not require a skates? When you use the wheels from the bottom of your office chair instead. Inline skating expert Ilia Savosin shows us how it’s done by strapping a pair of five-wheel chair bases to his feet and hitting the skate park. We wonder how much smoother they would roll on these casters.

Passing by a cold, empty skate park can be so sad. It’s nice to see that Red Bull once again got some midwinter use out of one by blanketing it in ice and giving ice cross racers a chance to compete in a skill and style competition.

We’re certain that neither the Vespa scooter nor the skate park in this video were designed for this purpose, but rider Boulon shows off his Vespa bowl-riding (and bird-flipping) skills in this video.

Selgascano Architects designed the Factoria Joven (youth factory), a creative space where urban youth can skateboard, rock climb, play music and even access the Internet through public computers.
