WTF Skateparks Of The World: The Turning Point Ramp

Skateboarding has come a long way since its inception. Tricks, style and the types of obstacles we skate have all fallen victim to the ever-changing sport, and we really have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

Back in the 70’s when skating was still in its early stages, people were coming up with all types of crazy ideas, one of which included the Turning Point ramp. This Capsule-shaped design was built out of plexiglass so that from the outside you could watch people skate it. Whether or not it would be as popular nowadays I don’t know, however I’d sure love to have a roll inside that thing. Check out the following footage of the ramp from the 70s skate film ‘Skateboard Madness’.
