Mapping the Tulsa, Oklahoma skate scene.
In memory of Caleb James Bagley @buckjuice
June 24th, 1992 - September 11th, 2021
Caleb purchased Skatetulsa.com in 2020 to create an online portal for locals to find skate spots, and novice skaters to find lessons. Caleb's vision for Skate Tulsa was to create a positive impact in the local skate scene by encouraging skaters from all walks of life to build inclusive community and shred safely. Skate Tulsa in its present form is a memorial to Caleb's legacy. Future versions of the site will automatically curate the #skatetulsa community feed. To have your Instagram posts be included, tag your posts with #skatetulsa to help us document the living history of the Tulsa skate scene.

About
The River Skate Park (often called the West Bank or 21st Street Skatepark) was located near 464 W. 23rd Street. It was the original "go-to" spot before the newer concrete parks were built.
It featured over 20 different elements, including half-pipes, quarter-pipes, and pyramids. Millions of memories on those sheet metal pipes. It was removed due to Gathering Place and River Parks expansion projects. Video: Tulsa skatepark slated for demolition
About
The very first skate park in Tulsa was Ridge Rider, which opened in late summer 1978 near 15th Street and Memorial Drive. Known for its three concrete runs — beginner, intermediate, and expert — as well as a freestyle area and slalom track, it was a prominent 1970s skate destination.
The park was later renamed the "Electric Silvermint" as it transitioned to an arcade. Although the craze eventually faded and the park closed, its concrete footprint was visible for years afterward. Learn more at Concrete Disciples
