Like about where this Legendary Blue Ramp comes from and what it's been through along the way? Was it built for Skateboarding? Or was it just some janky water slide? Are Humans supposed to play with it? Who's skated it & what's been done? How did part of the Blue Bowl end up here at Hermann's Hole?
Herrmann's Hole made this video after spending 4 months traveling & skateboarding on the west coast of India back in 2006. This production is a bit too long & the sound is f#cked up through most of it.. But the last 15 minutes are worth the wait!! There have been rumors of a remastered version with loads of gnarly new footage to be in the works!! Anyway, this old director's cut was recently discovered lurking in a strange German pocket of the Internet..... Here's it's current address.
This one is by the 19 year old skateboarder and builder of skate spots, Kingshighway's Kyle Crandall. Kyle is a STL concrete skateboarding advocate who has put in some hard work at Hermann's Hole as well. Check out this little edit he made from the weekends he has spent in the concrete jungle. It's ripping!!
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
This blog is the closest your gonna get to Hermann's Hole if you never do the work it takes to get here.
On an old farm out in the heartland is where this concrete bowl named "Hermann's Hole"... But don't bother come looking for it.. It's way too hard to find without the proper directions.We are building an organic skatepark in the middle of the woods. Skateboarding...Building terrain to skateboard on.. Art.. Earth.. Saving the world. What more do you need to know?
