There are so many great skate parks in Southern California its hard to skate
them in all in one day
The Southern California
skate parks mentioned above are a few of the Southern California skate
parks NagChaumpa was able to visit and skate during their June 2005 trip out West. The parks
are incredible, the skaters are amazing, and the sessions we had we will
certainly remember. We thank you Southern, CA for the many great times and
look forward to many more. NagChaumpa highly recommends a trip out West!
