Anybody ever been? I've heard nothing but crazy stories from there. This year's American Skate Fest has a pretty killer lineup:
http://amphitheatre.skatopia.org/?p=24
The place is on 88 Acres of land. There is a house and the rest is pretty much ramp after ramp after ramp. Skater's paradise. It's like a skateboard compound in the middle of the woods. Anybody can come and tent out. I hear you can build a "shanty" an live there for something like $50 a month. But supposedly the dude who runs the place, Brewce Martin, is fucking nutty insane. I guess he and his buddies burn and blow up random cars of people that go there and crazy shit like that. My buddy played there for Halloween one year. Said he did a played his set dressed up as a gorilla and people were throwing bananas and mortars on stage the whole time. I guess later that night, he passed out by a camp fire and about 6a.m. in the morning, Brewce and his buddies drove by in their trucks and threw mortars in the fire, blowing shit up all around him and burning the fuck out of him and his sleeping bag. He said it was one of the craziest experiences of his life playing that show and the time after the show.

I hear this gates of the place pretty much sum up the experience:

I am amazed that a place like this can exist. Any article I have ever read about that place has something to do with booze, explosions, skateboarding, more booze, and even more explosions.

I've got an old skatopia video that is pretty ridiculous. A lot of the shit mentioned happened in it. As well as a skate strip off with girls getting naked whenever a skater she's representing nails a trick.

I played there several years ago. It was awesome. There was a skateboarding dog, an underage stripper, and we got paid in weed. Also, the dude (Brewce?) had a skateboard museum that he let us see.

Listening to that kid try to talk and laugh at everything was fucking annoying. I can't imagine I would have much fun if it were full of shit heads like that kid.

Yeah Baker 2G is one of the best skate vids of all time. But this is even better Dollin footage:

The dude is a fucking maniac. The style and power in his skating are unmatched...
Also the first episode of Epicly Laterd was with him... it's on youtube too. Pretty cool.
But yeah, he can be an annoying little shit sometimes for sure.
i fucking rule.
