Visiting Pros Ben Hatchell, Kevin Kowalski, Pedro Barros, Josh Mattson, and Ben Raybourn joined Aaron Astorga, Mason Merlino, and Jake Reuter for a little evening test session of the new Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest expansion. All of the skaters immediately started unlocking the vast potential of the new flow bowl and pool and MRZ was there to capture some images of the first runs. The new terrain at Etnies is challenging and designed for the emerging class of concrete transition riders that are starting to get recognition in both the skate media and professional events such as the X Games. The new expansion is now open and ready to ride after being torture tested by some of the best skateboarders in the world. The Etnies Skatepark is a must-ride for any serious concrete, transition, and pool skater.
