Putra Jaya Extreme Skatepark Overview:
This 25,000 square foot park has three distinct characteristics.
- A street plaza with an assortment of stairs and ledges with variations in size and style.
- There are four bowls: two five foot deep bowls with a spine and two nine foot deep bowls.
- The remainder of the park is a flat bank drain ditch style snake run, maunal pad, wall ride and banked street combinations of wide open features.
Some of the more prominent features are a ten stair with ledges and rail, another rail with 20 staris and a banked bench ledge. This park is large and comfortable to ride with fourty or more skaters in action. You can drop in and skate everything in one run if you choose. You may need a cool drink after that, but the lines throughout the park are continuous.
Here's what Tim has to write about skating Malaysia:
"Delicious food. Kuala Lampur is one of the Jewels of Asia. You see all of the different cultural influences at a glance. Once you get a few words down for ordering your drink the way you want it and how to use the rest rooms, then you will know which hand to eat with. Yes! They eat with their fingers. It is really fun and they mix all of their food together and just shovel it in. Try it!"
And some about Putra Jaya:
"Malaysia is growing westernized and they are proud of it. Putra Jaya is a city they are building just for business and government. Putra Jaya is a street skating heaven with a world of modern architecture. They have built facilities for most of the world's sports and social activities including a huge indoor climbing gym, downhill bike trails and BMX pump courses."
Directions to the Putra Jaya Skatepark in Tim's words:
"If you fly into Kuala Lumpur International Airport and want to go to the skate park, take the taxi to Denkill a small town near the airport. Tell the driver that the Skate park is near the graveyard and take the first left. This will only cost you $10 dollars or if you are an experienced traveler, only 10 Rm (called a Ringut)".
"If you then, want to go to the Shaw Alam Bowls then, from Putra Jaya you would take another taxi to Shaw Alam, The Stadium! Tell the driver to go to the Giant Shopping Mall."
