Shopping cart

A shopping cart is, to the untrained eye, a device for holding your groceries. But, to a skateboarder, a shopping cart is an obstacle you can ollie over, grind, and ride in. To find an abandoned one of these is like finding a ticket to FUN!

Today I ollied over a shopping cart from a 3 foot ledge.

El toro

A very large stair set in California. Only the most expert skateboarders/bladers can make it down the handrail or the set.

Dude, I can't imagine anyone doing an ollie down El Toro, but it has been done.
