I’ve never been much of a skateboarder. I tried it a few times as a teenager, but quickly realized that my lack of coordination and brittle bone structure made it a bad idea for a personal pastime. Still, I can appreciate the amazing skills of professional skateboarders, who seemingly defy the laws of gravity with some of their tricks and stunts.
If I were a professional skateboarder (or an amateur skateboarder with even an ounce of skill), I’d probably book a flight to Argentina to skate on the awesome watermelon bowl seen above. The bowl was painted by artist Patricio Pascale.
The image reminds me of another watermelon-loving skater, Mr. J. Slice himself. That’s him on the right. Even though he’s a top-heavy watermelon, he’s a much better skateboarder than I am. Then again, watermelons are tough, thanks to their thick rind, so it kind of makes sense. That also explains why he wears elbow and knee pads, but doesn’t need a helmet.
This would even make an awesome in ground swimming pool design to have in your backyard!
The watermelon bowl in Argentina is so cool. Mr. J. Slice is also cool and he looks like one great skateboarder.
Agree! It’s definitely a cool attraction and would make an awesome swimming pool!
