I can't believe that nobody has any vintage Canadian Skateboarding pics to contribute.

Does anyone in Calgary have any pics at Skatopia?

Skateboard Palace pics from Vancouver?

great stuff guys. Keep'em coming?

Slob thos Skateopia pics are awesome. 70's indoor cement parks were the shit. Unfortunetly the indoor Parks in Winnipeg in the 70's just had wood ramps.

Skatopia-1 closing in '79 was a tragedy.

And that's not even half of it above�a huge deep vert snake run into a bowl and a smaller snake run, a deep capsul ended halfpipe bowl and several clams and such make up the rest of the park.

However, that which is shown above, in addition to a banked freestyle area, is recoverable�it was all filled with gravel and cemented over.

One day...
