Sand, sun, and sk8ers

Walk the busy boardwalk of Venice Beach, in Los Angeles, and you'll see more sailing past than distant yachts—like an endless stream of skateboarders whizzing by within inches, always seeming to dodge you and your snow cone at the last second. Wanna bet they're headed to this world-famous skatepark right on the beach?

First poured in 2009 and serving locals, tourists, and pros alike ever since, Venice Skatepark's three bowls are usually brimming with skilled skaters—and visitors crowding the railings hoping to spy sick tricks. It's an appropriate setting for a top-notch skate spot: Bustling SoCal beaches like Venice were the birthplace of skateboarding, invented by bored surfers who wanted to cruise the land on days when waves were weak.

沙子、阳光和滑雪道

走在洛杉矶威尼斯海滩繁忙的木板路上，你会看到比远处的游艇更多的帆船驶过，就像无数的滑板运动员在几英寸之内呼啸而过，总是在最后一秒闪避你和你的雪球。想打赌他们会去海滩上这个世界著名的滑板公园吗？

威尼斯滑板公园的三个碗从2009年开始，为当地人、游客和专业人士提供服务。从那以后，威尼斯滑板公园的三个碗里通常挤满了熟练的滑板手和游客，他们挤满了栏杆，希望窥探恶心的把戏。这是一个适合顶级滑板场地的环境：像威尼斯这样熙熙攘攘的索卡尔海滩是滑板运动的发源地，滑板运动是无聊的冲浪者发明的，他们想在海浪弱的日子在陆地上冲浪。
