This is one of those DIY spots in Metro Vancouver that everyone wants to skate. Looks good, right? Well, it’s not easy to roll there, that’s for sure. In fact, it’s so rough that COREY KLIM chose to skate a soft-wheel filmer setup, partly because the ground is rough as dirt. It’s also very hard to get into the area since the city put a huge fence around the whole complex. We had to make a hole to get in, and after climbing up an eight-foot wall with all our gear, Corey got right into working the angles at this spot by popping a high BACKSIDE KICKFLIP. Thanks again to Magnus Hanson, who made this place skateable with multiple trips and bags of cement.
The Concrete Issue 115 commercial is brought to you by Anti Hero, BLVD Skateshop and C1RCA. It features Cameo Wilson, Nick Moore, Kristian Svitak, Randy Ploesser and Corey Klim.
