Skateboarding? In the Sierras? Well for starters, how about miles of gently sloping downhills with fresh pavement and no cars in sight for days. How about the new skatepark in Bishop with hits-o-plenty. How about some hidden spillways that will have you showing off your street style grace at your own private spot with a setting unmatched anywhere. Skateboarding can't be a crime if there is no one else around to even know you are skatin'. A couple nice spots are the Owens Gorge Pipeline Road and also the mine road out at the end of Barlow Lane in West Bishop.

The skatepark in Bishop is located at the City Park. Hours are 8:00am to 1/2 hour after sunset, rules include pads and helmet required, no bikes, no ghetto blasters, no brawling, no smokes or alchohol. Complete list of rules at the park. Admission is free.
