(Now Rancho Santa Margarita) Asphalt. 1 big, big, big, bowl at the top. A series of S curves leading down the mountain( anyone remember doing the "Catamaran?") to a freestyle area at the bottom ( always filled with thousands of bees). This had to be one of the frist skate parks in the world. Early 70's? I used to be on a Honda Kick n Go at this place. One time some drunk old dude drove his van into the bowl at the top and rolled it. Our parents would drop us off and we'd spend all day there, all summer. Classic days back then. My 6 year old just started standing/riding on my old Dog Town. He's goofy foot too. Used that board for years as my only transportation. If that baord could talk!
