Skatopia is the place for people to get away from bills, stress, and the 9-to-5 grind and experience true, unadulterated freedom. Skatopia is known as the "Outlaw's Skate Park" and we live up to that name. If you're a skater outlaw seeking a paradise of no-holds-barred punk rock debauchery, look no further than Skatopia, an historic epicenter of American skate culture.

brewce martin
Brewce Martin became a pro skater back in 1990. Brewce moved back to West Virginia in 1995 and began working on a permanent Skatopia. On November 1st, 1995, Brewce found and purchased a permanent location for Skatopia in Meigs County, Ohio. After collecting donations from over fifty friends, and signing the contract to purchase the land, him and his pals moved the entire ramp complex to the new location.
In the summer of 2009, Brewce suffered a traumatic brain injury, caused by a tire exploding in a tire shop near Skatopia. The accident left him in a coma for six weeks. During his stay at the hospital, surgery was performed to relieve pressure around his brain caused by the swelling. He still has the removed chunk of his skull that he shows to visitors to Skatopia. The park is operated by Brewce and his girlfriend.
live hard.
skate hard.
Skatopia is Meigs County, Ohio's #1 tourist attraction and the headquarters of the CIA (that's The Corporation Instigating Anarchy), 48 skateboard enthusiasts who broke the TV barrier and escaped to Skatopia. We run the park and work to cultivate a communal experience with all who enter. While Skatopia is a virtually lawless compound, we prohibit use of hard drugs, bad attitudes, theft, guns, and weapons.
