Watch out for the small kink in the square pool side wall. 2) A small ditch style run 3) A street plaza Local skaters at the Carmel Valley skatepark include pro-skaters Christian Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Chris Miller, Tony Mag and Kanten Russell Carmel Valley Skatepark is ready to ride Nov 13, 2008 By Karen Billing Local skaters check out the Carmel Valley skatepark with pro-skaters Christian Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Chris Miller, Tony Mag and Kanten Russell.
