Main Street Course
The 20,000 square foot indoor wood (birch) street course features an array of obstacles. The setup includes many popular street features including stair sets, banks, rails, ledges and manual pads. Features on this course can challenge even the most advanced street skater.

The Combi Pool
The Vans Combi is a replica of the original Combi pool which was located at the Upland Pipeline Skatepark in California during the early 1980s. It was believed to be one of the best pools in skateboarding history. The pool features 9ft 9in transitions and is 12ft deep. This thing is massive and always dares even the most experienced skater.

Pee Wee Area
This area is specifically designed for beginners to develop their skills in a less intimidating environment. The course includes all of the features of our main street course only on a smaller scale. All features on this course are 3 feet or lower entirely surfaced in birch.

Mini Ramps
The main mini ramp is 80' wide and has heights ranging from 5ft to 9ft. The majority of the ramp runs 5ft with extensions in the back escalating to sections of vert. The ramp has sections of pool coping and is entirely surfaced in birch. The secret micro mini is a perfect warm up spot. The ramp is 12ft wide and 4ft high surfaced in birch.

Outdoor Street Course
The concrete course features ledges, stairs, manual pads and more. This course also has a lot of movable obstacles that can be set up to the skater's choice.
