Welcome to Skatopia: Eighty-Eight Acres of Anarchy in the USA

Brewce Martin began building Skatopia in 1996. Skatopia sits on 88 acres of hilly, forested land in Rutland, Ohio, an Appalachian town with a population of approximately 420, about 20 minutes from the West Virginia state line. Martin has been a skateboarding fanatic since he was a kid. That was in the Seventies; he is 42 now. Martin and his girlfriend, Amber Cavender, revel in the chaos of this year's Bowl Bash, the annual summertime festival that's Skatopia's answer to Woodstock.
