The amoeba section of concrete attached to the bowl which we now refer to as the "mini bowl" has been growing. In July 08, an ornamental sewer lid was installed in the deck of the big bowl. Then, in September 08, it became a small quarter pipe, pump bump, bank to ledge psycho/micro-ramp. This was mainly made to stop a mosquito larvae infested suicidal frog pond. Winter was spent working on city projects and then we had the 1st bowl birthday party in May 09. With the donations which were raised from that unorganized chaos, we wrenched off a corner pocket with plenty of flat ground to add walls to later.. Later came sooner.... Last week an opposing wall came through with a few more surprises.. The new section is an escalator to a hip leading into a mellow corner with easy ollie brick coping melding into a parking block which is carefully placed in a position to be a spine in the near future.
Thanks again to all the people who've helped in the progression of skate terrain at Hermann's Hole in the last 2 years, and another thanks to the 6 men who willed the creation of this wall in the 2nd week of November 2009.
Hermann's Hole is a concrete built to skate pool in the middle of the Missouri wilderness 1 hour west of St. louis. This place was constructed by skateboarders on private land, in solitude, to always have a place to ride skateboards with no fear of being hassled by cops, security guards, neighbors, pad nannies, or any other distractions... Also because of the remote location we are willing, and able to build anything we want. Our goal at the moment is to complete the flow bowl snake run that surrounds the bowl, and will attach to the Skate Barn.
If you want skate you have to help or donate in some way. If you want to help email: hermannshole@yahoo.com
