Micke Alba at The Pipeline

gbjphotoworks > albums > GBJ Skateboard Photography

Album Info:

In 1977, Stan Hoffman built a skateboard park in Upland, California, called The Pipeline. It included the first, large-scale, rideable pipe in skatepark history. Among the early locals at the park were brothers, Steve and Micke Alba. Over ten years later, early January, 1988, and almost at the end of the park's storied history, Micke Alba knew and could shred the acres of concrete like no other.

  • I am not sure what the dimensions of this pipe were. I'm going to guess that it was somewhere between 20' and 22' in diameter. That would make the vert mark 10-11' and I'm going to say he was, at least, 4' past vert. Therefore, I'm thinking he was somewhere around 14-15' up.
