Riders Thoughts:

The Silverthorne Skatepark provides riders with a great layout and a variety of transitions around the park. Most of the skatepark is set down in a large bowl with a pyramid box in the middle. Vert walls and ramps take riders down about five feet from the surface of the skatepark.

The smooth rounded transitions make the vert walls and banked turns great for longboarding in a skatepark. These transitions are great because they make it easy for riders to maintain speed and flow throughout the skatepark.

There are a variety of transitions leading down into the main bowl area of the Silverthorne Skatepark making this park good for riders of any skill level. The main ramp leading down is a large flat ramp with a box and rail. Around the large bowl there is a variety of coping levels as well as cement ledges. There are also a number of smooth rounded roll in areas. These areas are great for longboarding in a skatepark because it allows riders to ride down the steep vert wall and quickly build up speed.

Once riders get inside the main bowl, the banked turns and flow of the skatepark make it easy for riders to build up speed and get high on the vert walls. Here, just surfing the cement wave as usual.

The surrounding mountains give the Silverthorne Skatepark a beautiful backdrop and sets a pretty good vibe for the skatepark. Colorado is home to many outdoor enthusiasts and for good reason. Riders will find a number of bright red cement ledges around the park. The bright red accents seen throughout the park give the Silverthorne Skatepark a pretty unique and recognizable look.

Skate it Later – Pin it Now

The pyramid box in the middle of the skatepark is one of the parks great transition features. And the unique shape of the cement box provides another smooth banked turn and cement wave in the middle of the park. This smooth cement wave leads riders right into a large round banked pocket.

There are a few other unique obstacles at the Silverthorne Skatepark. Along the fence riders can find a set of rounded cement boobs. And there is an awesome ramp that actually leads riders to jump over the rock perimeter and gap over to the picnic shelter.

The stand alone bowl is set right next to the larger main bowl area of the skatepark. The stand alone bowl and the large bowl actually share a spine which is great for riders to link lines together. This is a rounded square bowl and is fully lined in coping.

Overall, Silverthorne Skatepark is a great cement skatepark that advanced street skaters would really like. The entire skatepark provides many unique obstacles that lead to creative lines and some cool transitions. And the size and variety of obstacles make this a fun skatepark for riders of any skill level.
