Yep.
My "backyard" pipe.
a shot i took a couple of years back of my buddy Steve
while we were skating NorCal's finest(but not lone pipe);
it's a 30' pipe, so he's a ways up.

you can. but it gets much more damp further back.
it's surprisingly smooth. well, not smooooooth, but the
cement is in good enough shape to run 100a wheels.
i recommend 62mm+ wheels for it though. you will fight
to get elevation on sub-60mm wheels.

Looks so fun. It reminds me of a similar yet smaller pipe I used to skate in as a kid. Not only did we skate it, but we also caught bats in the pipe until we started getting sick. You could walk underground from one side of the city to the other in it too. Good times.

yep it's a real nice place,
the only place where skating was so like surfing , every seam in the pipe would leak water and we'd build little dams and sweep for hours,
so we'd go back , way back and when crossed across the wet spot coming down you'd get a slippery losser grip on wheels and slide and get more fluid carve up the wall and down, does that make sense
oh, it's 4:20!!!!!!

Chalked that one up a few times. Amazing pipe. Only one better/gnarlier was the 60' monster in Australia. The scariest pipe ever.
The Glory Hole is strictly verboten these days. Actually, it was always illegal. Salba was fined heavily there rafting out.
