John Egertson Skate World Alexandria VA 1977
Killer 1977 shots from John Egertson…A skate Park and Star Wars in the theater…good times.
According to John the park was located on Wheeler (really!) Avenue in Alexandria VA. Moguls, a pool and that crazy vert wall.

Pat Clark, Mike “Micro” Mapp, Bruce Adams and Mike Kresky (Powell Peralta) are all known to have skated here….So there have to be more pics!

Hey bros -
This brings back some cool memories! I have quite a few old Skateworld pix, but always interested in seeing more! Miles and I hit up the new City of Alexandria public skatepark which is right off Wheeler Avenue… just like old times!
Cheers,

Meigs, send those old skateworld pix in, maybe Jason will post ‘em! I’m always wanting to see more. The old Skateworld sure was better than the new city of alexandria modular park…

Damn, talk about a wild return on your yahoo search. I lived just off Gordon street and skated there during the construction and afterwards.
Great times, learned how to smoke, drink and skate. Went to school with Jimmy, Miles and the rest.
I’m in touch with Dwayne Wyatt, lives in Florida.
I don’t have any pics of park. Glad to see folks are still out there, as its a short time on the rock.
See ya, Grimm

skateworld was great, I was on the Mall wall team which was the springfield virginia skateboard park. We would ditch out any chance we got to go to skateworld.

Hey Pat! Call me homey! Skateworld was a blast. Who else could do forever front side carve grinds in that tiny bowl. Pat Clark. Jimmy Treese, Myles Roth, John Hargedon (sp.) Mike Mapp, Phil Burcher, Allen Chaney, Gilbert Boyd, the entire Toke Team, Mike Kresky, Brady Bird, Wildman Dan Resendez and many more called Skateworld home. I worked at Mall Wall for a while with Jennifer Souders. And lets not forget Willy Clark, Pats brother.

I remember the Mall Wall. I was about 7 and had just started to push around. I was WAY too itimidated to skate it. I think I did go inside the fence too. I remember once it closed me and some friends went by and weeds were growing heavily. Later in the 80’s I used to hang at the CCCC ramp. Great times that I will never forget. Later.

I remember going down to that park when I was in 5th/6th grade, I only made it down a few times before the park closed, and several more times after it closed
. It was fun times between there and the Mall Wall in Springfield Va.
