Now this is a real indoor skatepark! A wide ass mini ramp with tight trannies, extensions, escalators, a flat bank and not one but TWO death bridges. It spines into a four foot square bowl. The long and skinny street area plays into the mini bowl set up smoothly, and the huge take-off roll in the corner will give you more than enough speed to hit up the place
There is a nicely stocked skate shop on the premises. Along with a pool table, Charm City Indoor Skatepark also boasts two of those old 720 skateboard arcade games- you know the ones with the dream layouts and the duck-footed punk with the mohawk. They also have one of those tricky little claw games, but instead of winning a crappy stuffed animal, you can nab a set of wheels!

Get the Charm City Skate Park mug.A skateboarding forum that has maybe 3 good skaters, and the rest just plain suck! Almost all the members are rude, and are way too opinionated about a topic they know nothing about. Most likely members ride big wheels, and suck their thumbs at night. The only good people on the site are admins and moderators, so therefore, it can be tolerated when they post. The rest are outcasts from other skateboarding sites they got banned from like ramprage, skaterscafe, transworld, and a few others.
