Hello All, i'm João and i live in that little town you see in the video, and i wanted to leave some facts about that Bowl: That place was build with the only intent of beeing a BMX/Skate park, so there was no prior use of it, in Belmonte there are no people doing BMX or Skate at a high level, so like you can see, its kind of "virgin" still. I'm a MTB guy and i dont do BMX, but i encorage all of you to come here and have a blast! Please use it, it was made for every one!
This place looks amazing Ruben is an awesome rider and person, I got to meet the guy at a skatepark in Maple Shade NJ. Hahaha out of all places. Hope all is good with his back.
His 2004 Macneil part was sick. He doesn't do many tricks these days. Still the man no matter what. He's been there and done that. He has nothing to prove.
The weird part is.... Even though the town was TINY and no one had ever heard of this bowl. It looked REALLY well built and well maintained!! :L HOW?!?!!
@tailwhip441 In my local skatepark in Lisbon, Portugal theres lots of graffitis and sometimes people smoking weed (rare). This skate park is in the middle of a small and historical village (also Portugal), thats why there are no grafittis there.
it actually a skatepark now! pretty random layout especially with this thing at the bottom...and its not in the middle of nowhere anymore as the town is much bigger
Who built this? why did anyone other than someone who wants to build a skatpark would build this? for what? and with such perfect curves? can someone explain it to me i dont understand why.
idoGutman22 it's crazy. It's hard to look at and believe that it WASNT meant to be a skatepark, but at the same time it has no coping, it does not look at all like a skatepark, and there was no one anywhere near it
Graffiti its not a crime in Portugal, destroying or modifying property is! This Bowl is intact because we, the people of this village, want to keep that bowl clean... just that.
in another video about this park it shows how there is a huge building that looks a bit like a hotel thats just out of shot in this video, not really lost but I like the idea
i think it had to be some kinda water storage thing, that they ended up not using, that park would cost like a million bucks, and I don't think that town could afford it
Well, everyone know its there, but if some people come here asking the inhabitants were is the BOWL... well lets just say that we here call it "Parque Radical" and if the guys they asked did not speak english, there is your reason for not knowing what the hell was a bowl. That park was build by the city council and inaugurated by Portuguese Government
ok Sorry, 1. I misread your post the first time, 2, I guess you mean this video here: j8vmwfZa9UY ? :) Would be pretty funny if the builders of the new houses built the park with some overshoot cement they had :P

HOW?!?!!
How can a park so beautiful be in the middle of no where with no locals even knowing about it. It even looks like its been barely touched.

Its funny how i saw another video of this park. It is right by a main road, and there is more than just a bowl.
i wonder what was that used for?
in another video about this park it shows how there is a huge building that looks a bit like a hotel thats just out of shot in this video, not really lost but I like the idea
His whips are so sicc...

How bad do you want to see tom dugan ride this?
And on the 7th day, God created bowl.

i think it had to be some kinda water storage thing, that they ended up not using, that park would cost like a million bucks, and I don't think that town could afford it
@klownboyballa
Yeah, you're right! Some beer, a grill and then go there to chill with your mates for weeks :DD
I live for about 30km from that place in BELMONTE

idk how i would get the balls to drop into that
fuck it looks big on camera! imagine what it looks like in person! cameras make everything look smaller
What is this actually been built for riding or it was used for something i wana know -.-
You can also know it's not in America by reading the description..
i read about this in ride bmx
looks like the bowl at the bottom of the super-ultra-mega-park from skate 3
Lol, "The Lost Bowl"
story of my fucking life
3:15 what is written on the wall?
I just found this bowl on Google maps... it even looks epic from space.

Well, everyone know its there, but if some people come here asking the inhabitants were is the BOWL... well lets just say that we here call it "Parque Radical" and if the guys they asked did not speak english, there is your reason for not knowing what the hell was a bowl.

What's the intro song?
Skatepark from day 1
Dude...Reuben...You just don't know....*sigh*

But who the fuck builds such a huge and great bowl right in the middle of nowhere?!
I wonder why it was even built there
Where is it?
Imagine Tom Dugan airing this.
it was built by the city council, and its for public and free use!
Belmonte!!!!

Wouldn't it be a bummer if they found it, then it started to rain.
how did they loose the skatepark haha'
