The Endless Halfpipe of Umea, Sweden.
I didn't know about this until I searched "amazing skate spots" YouTube. This appears to be an old logging flume, or possible just a aqueduct for spring floods, or something like that. What it reminds me of is The Gauntlet from American Gladiators, which I actually did ride my bike in, when I was a crew guy on the show in the early 90's. In any case, the "endless" halfpipe turned into a high banked metal ditch, then ends. So it's not endless, but prety freakin' long.
In any case, this looks like a fun place to skate or ride, if you make it to Umea, Sweden. Umea is on the east coast of Sweden, a couple of hundred miles (or a whole bunch of kilometers) north of Stockholm. The video is pretty funny. These guys skate for half the video, then the local guy guides the other around the weird spots of the town. Weird spots to ride and skate are all over the place. That's kind of the point of this blog.
