2011-10-27T11:33:00.000-07:00

Back in 2004 when most had not even thought to mix up concrete and trowel out ramps under a roof this place off Broadway and Mound Street was hive for a core group of vigilantes who had a vision.

Now "The Tunnel" is gone just like the "Tennis Courts" and soon to be wrecked in the next 2 years will be the park under the bridge in St. Louis, "Kings Highway".
Hermann's Hole will remain!! And with it the inspiration from all concrete skatepark DIY will keep their memories alive!! There are still plenty of visions for projects out there in the ditches, woods, alleys, bridges, and vacant buildings... So get out there and do it because no one is gonna do it for you!!!

If your not doing any thing constructive... Put on your mask... Grab a shovel... Get out here and build!!!

Callaway County nuclear power plant has brief alert
Monday, September 19, 2011 | 8:21 a.m. CDT; updated 4:51 p.m. CDT, Monday, September 19, 2011
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FULTON — A refrigerant leak caused a brief alert at the nuclear power plant in Callaway County, but officials said no dangerous radioactive material was released.

Ameren Missouri officials issued an alert for the plant near Fulton at about 11 a.m. Sunday, saying a refrigerant leak was reported in one of two rooms that contain the plant's air conditioning system.

The situation was over by about 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Ameren said there was no release of radioactivity above normal operating limits, and that neither plant personnel nor the public was ever in danger.

Wrex Cook and the Toast Skateboards Team was in ST. Louis last weekend!!! A late night camp skate went down at the Hole!!!

I gave permission to skate the new keys a bit early.... My experimental mason mix combined with some Toasty shallow end power grinds they managed to rip the new bricks right off!!! The next morning I woke to see they cleaned up and swept the bowls.... I know if they had the time and materials they would've gladly masoned the bricks back on.... No worries mates!!! Come back soon!!!

Welcome to Old Man Skate Camp!!

2011-06-05T22:27:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was our first week of OMSC!!

William Campbell knows how to camp at age 33 and here is an ollie on the new hip to prove it!!

At 32 JP learned Front Feebles... And now at 34 he jumps on coping for Skate Camp.

Brian Werner Grinds the Deaf Box at a young 35 years old!!
At night time here during Old Man Skate Camp we kick on the lights and try to find the lines we lost along the way...
Just a wall ride or a front side grind can make anyone feel like a kid again!!
Here at OMSC we know how important it is to eat your veggies so that we may have the energy to ride skateboards for many more years, and everything will always come out smooth.
36 year old Camp Counselor Lynch cracks a back whip on the parking block to let the campers know who the boss is!!
Happy Birthday Chris!!
Just a few months away from the big 4-0.. General Brian Patton throws down a radical backside 50-50.. Maybe we'll have a party for ya if you can keep it up.
After a few hot strenuous days of Old Man Skate Camp our little campers are all very tired.. Great job OMSC!!

Hermann's Park Pick

2011-05-31T11:53:00.000-07:00

Lafeyette Colorado has the best skarepark I've seen yet... The overall flow and creativity of this place is amazing!! And there is something for everybody no matter what u skate... I have visited hundreds of concrete skateparks around the world and this is the best in my opinion as of today.

These photos do not do the place justice... The best part about the park is all the creativity they put into it using rocks and boulders. If your near Boulder go there!!

The Rapture.

SKATEBARN

2011-04-02T18:29:00.000-07:00

SKATEBARN SKATE SHOP is located in the forest near Hermann, Missouri... Miles from any street spots or skateparks 3 miles up a rugged dirt road that is not fit for most cars to drive on... SKATEBARN has almost nothing for sale, and is usually closed due to bad weather and lack of guests. But with the Spring time coming, and Rob Dyrdek having a new TV show coming out soon we here at the SKATEBARN know that the great success ladder will be climbed, and the chickens will hatch soon!!

And we've certainly already counted our hens.. We even spent the rent money to get this BBQ deck finished by summer!! Also we fixed the ceiling, and built a new microramp inside the SKATEBARN!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the employees of SKATEBARN!! Without these guys living, and working at SKATEBARN all day everyday till their fingers bleed, all would be lost and the world would suffer.

Just to set the record straight..
SKATEBARN is only 32% SKATEBOARDING...
The rest is....
7% riding golf carts and scooters.
23% building ramps.
17% drinking beer.
9% shooting guns and throwing hatchets.
2% chopping wood.
1% fishing.
5% sweeping the bowls.
4% Walking, talking, breathing, and other stuff.
Go skate or die or go big or go home or do something else!!

TRESPASSER SIGHTINGS...

2011-03-21T11:17:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday around 2 in the afternoon a strange visitor was seen running fast uphill on the private land of Hermann's Hole...

The witness claims the trespasser's description was a cross between the looks of the Legendary Arborist "Paul Bunyan"...

With the strength, and speed of the Mythical North American Beast "Big Foot"!!

If you see this Trespasser beware, and do not try to apprehend... Not much is known of his origin, and he may carry disease, or famine.. Keep your eyes peeled & Proceed with caution!!

Area 51 in Sweden is constructed under ground in a closed mine that has been sold, and redeveloped.

This man made cave provides a dry iceless place to ride skateboards in all types of weather..

The temperature inside this skatepark maintains a constant average of 58F all year without heater or AC!! And there is never any wind, rain, or snow.

Missouri has a few caves and old mines around.. Hopefully someday we can find the same kinda atmosphere to build a similar sort of facility right here in the middle of North America!

!!SNOWED IN!!

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE TEMPERATURE WILL BE -2 DEGREES TOMORROW!!

NEW BOWL DISCOVERED IN THE SNOW!!

2011-01-21T13:51:00.000-08:00

Satellites over Mid America have discovered images of this mysterious new pool frozen somewhere in the Artic!!

Snow dog teams on cross country snowboards were dispatched weeks ago in search of this phenomenon.. Half the crew have finally returned having found nothing but frost bite, and malaria.... Like crop circles, many skeptics believe it was aliens who put it there!!

This birds eye view reveals the bowl must have an internal heating system which makes it impervious to snow and ice!! Imagine what super technologies could be learned by the capture and dissection of this poolish masterpiece!! If you have any information leading to the discovery of this estranged "Snow Bowl" please contact: hermannshole@yahoo.com

Happy Hole a days!!

Something I 8 from Hermann's Hole on Vimeo.

As bowls fade out & become a distant memory from the past new pole jams & ledges are popping up all over the St. Louis area!! Here's a look at the Missouri's D.I.Y. Skate spot future... & past.

Bringing The Streets to the Farm Land!!

2010-11-20T07:25:00.000-08:00

After countless hours working and dollars spent we here at Hermann's Hole have finally decided to give the kids what they really want!! We've realized that we've wasted a load of time and tax payers money on useless transitions and bowls to skate. Even though you can't drive 2 blocks in any direction without seeing a manual pad, a wallie pole or a nice stack of stairs... We are bringing these obstacles to the Hole where we can do our free style tricks without being harassed by the cops.

We view our decision as a monumental move towards the future of Missouri Skateboarding in hopes that other parks in the St. Louis area that are wasting time & money building boring bowls and ramps will just start laying flat crete, stairs, euro gaps, and more slide rails. Look at Jefferson Barracks for instance.. If they had just put in a manual pad instead of a quarter pipe that place would be paradise! So wake up STL!! Go build a DIY manny box or hammer a pole in the dirt and sit on it!! Bowl skating days are over... Vert is dead!

Let us build something for skateboarding as unique and interesting as a parking garage!!

Lay Back Smith Grind By Zac DelCortivo

First you get really laid back. Then once you get properly laid, approach your target with maximum velocity... Next throw your back truck on the piano keys and tweak your nose down... Pushing off with your back hand hold on tight and try to stand... Lastly roll away clean and grab a brew.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!
