California in the last year. This skateboard camp will be a great place to learn to skate for
new kids getting into the sport as well as a great place for skaters to improve
by learning from the pros. The skate camp features a competition style vert ramp
and street course as well as what looks like a killer concrete skate park.

want to check this place out you will either need to know someone or enroll for
a week long session which starts at around $1,000!
Encinitas YMCA - Encinitas, CA -
Website
Whether you
know it or not, you've seen the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA skateboard park a million
times. This is the site of one of the most famous big vert ramps in the history
of skateboarding. 80' wide by 13 ft tall, 19 ft roll-in, extensions and
"floating platform" - big, big, big! It's been in a zillion ads. But the best
part about this park- at least for most of us - is everything else.

Playstation State park - London, UK -
Website
Underneath central London's busy Westway, close to where it
crosses Portobello Road, lies the Playstation Skatepark. Because it's housed
beneath the motorway it's classed an an indoor skatepark - in fact, the only one
in london - but, of course, it benefits from the breeze that blows through the
concrete pillars that support the structure. It's a big park that houses the
capital's only vert ramp. There's something for everyone here, and beginners can
benefit from the sturday morning instruction sessions.
