Skatopia

Skatopia

Skatopia is a private skate park near Rutland, Ohio that is owned and overseen by Brewce Martin. Skatopia is also home to the Museum of Skateboard History, which houses more than 12 000 vintage skateboards from the sport's beginnings in the 1960's. It hosts two indoor bowls, a full pipe/vert ramp complex and a concrete outdoor bowl. It was featured in an episode of Viva La Bam and the video game "Tony Hawk's Underground 2" (as well as its PSP counterpart "Tony Hawk's Underground2 Remix") as a level. The only requirement for visiting Skatopia is that you have to complete 1 hour of work. Due to the popularity of the park, and needs for money, a Skatopia shoe by Draven has been created. A documentary film is currently in progress about the epic events that take place at Skatopia.
