FULL CIRCLE

Full pipes have become legendary in the elusive search for terrain not built for skateboarding. The planning, timing, exploration and adventure to ride a fullpipe is half the fun and the journey is always part of the challenge. We received photos and stories from around the world for this story, so many we couldn’t fit them all in this edition of the mag, and we appreciate all of the radical contributions. There are so many incredible locations sought out by hungry skaters around the world who want to experience the unique rush of riding these circular creations, getting as high up the walls as possible and having a blast doing it. Just get in, get it and get out without detection. Flying down these concrete tunnels is what pipe dreams are made of and you’ll never forget the echoing screams of your wheels as you take it down the line at supersonic speed. – JIM “MURF” MURPHY
