of concrete gunite. The 70' long 10and1/2' high, 9' Tranny BIG WALL with
a 5' high TEARDROP hip and 14' high 3/4 (beyond VERT) Bowl HAS
BEEN POURED. We had the transition Factory-Bent to Spec to insure
the Ultimate Transition. It's kind of like the deep-end of the Turf's Capsule
Pool except that it's way over vert.
The C.I.A. has finished the Sean Miller Memorial Half-Pipe w/ dimensions
of 28' Wide, 10' Tranny, 1 1/2' Vert, 16' Flat, All STEEL, No Direct
Sunlight, No Rain... Sean would be PROUD.
The Vert Scene has moved outdoors and Daily Big Sessions w/ Big Boyz
are the norm.
