BILLABONG GAP
THE 7-4-3

 

 
Elementary school called University Park, or U.P. This place is awesome. It's got a nice, long parking lot excellent for flatland tricks. There is a nice 4. There is a ok 6 stair near the bike racks at the end of the parking lot. You will also notice a U-shaped gap near the four stair. Only do the gap when the parking lot is empty, thus making a nice runaway. There is also a grass gap with a very nice runaway near the 4 stair. It is few feet long. You will see some handrails on the 4 stair. These are kinks and not perfect for skating. There are three of these, and look at the most right one. Between the most right handrail and the small tree, there is a secret gap. It is not good if you're tall, because you'll hit the tree. It is possible and try it. You will also see a stage towards the interior of the campus. The stage has a hidden gap, which is called the Planter's Gap. You'll have to ollie earlier to avoid hitting the small brick wall. By going towards back of the school past the benches where the soccer field is, there is a baseball dugout with 4 ledges. These ledges are bombarded with skate stoppers, but we have managed to skate it. Very nice for doing tricks off them. You will also notice that near the dugout, you can head down towards the street. The curb by the street has a grass gap. Nice, but watch out for cars. There is a 8 stair near here. Turn towards left where this gap is and if you pass the soccerfield, you will see a community pool named "Village Park Pool." It is not really good for skating, but go in and check it out, it might offer some spots. Behind the pool, there is a 8 stair. It has a rail but not very good for skating, except boardslides if you are good at them. If you head the opposite direction of the grass gap by the street I mentioned earlier and head up, you will see a basketball court with some vending machines. You will easily find this place if you ask where the University Park library is. This is a nice spot to play skate because of the nice ground. If you ask any local skaters, there is a nice 6 stair near the school. It is by a community pool, obscurely located. Find it by asking where the community pool with some tennis courts is. If you head down the street of Michelson, you can see shopping complex. There is a Carl's, Jr. Find the Rite Aid and near it where the medical offices are, there are two manual pads. If you look through that building you'll find a 3. These spots are only an extremely few of the many, many spots in Irvine.
