Del Mar Skateboard Ranch dmsr current condition sept 08

so sad, especially that NOTHING has been done with that area. what a waste! loved that place. made the 1 hour drive just about every weekend from irvine during the summers of '84-'87. saw hawk dominate 'showdown at the ranch' and roll out the first 720 in competition at 'down south at del mar.' good times...

That was the first place I dropped into real vert! I remember my friend egging me on, then his amazement when I did it. Ironically 4 years later I was skateboarding at McGill's skatepark. The good ol' days!

Skated ther from 84 until it closed.

I still have my membership card from it. 1987 is the date on it. Such a bummer! I think it was the best skate park ever!!!!!!!!!!
