CaptionThe 88-acre farm of Skatopia attracts skateboarders from all over the US. A culture of anti-establishment behavior that surrounds skateboarding has made it difficult to integrate the sport into mainstream society. Founder Brewce Martin set up Skatopia not only as a skateboarding venue, but as a sanctuary for the sport's unconventional enthusiasts. People filter in and out at will. Some camp out for a day or two, others build cabins from scraps and stay for months.
