As we previously reported, the legendary El Toro skate spot is officially gone. No more skating it, no more shredding that massive drop.
After pro skater Chris Joslin landed a mind-blowing tre flip down the spot, the skate world lost its mind.
Clips of the trick blew up everywhere and it’s been dominating ShreddER’s top stories for weeks.
Joslin’s “G-MA” part was straight fire, packed with tricks that left the skate community shook.
That same part helped him snag both the 2025 Skater of the Year award and Trick of the Year, making history as the first pro skater to take home two awards at once.
Fans were hyped, the videos were insane, and everyone was talking about El Toro.
But now the hype has a dark side.
El Toro High School isn’t feeling the love. They’ve shut the spot down completely and even went as far as suing Joslin, Thrasher, and anyone connected for damages.
The iconic stair set that inspired countless skaters is off-limits forever, and the community is heated.
Skaters from all over the world still dream of skating it, and some had plans to take it on before it closed.
YouTube skater Spencer Barton had even promised to hit a backside flip on El Toro if his video reached one million views, but now it’s too late. The chance is gone, and the frustration is real.
Seeing the situation unfold, pro skater Tyrone Olson didn’t mince his words.
He called out the school for being on some hating shi*t. According to Olson, skateboarding is all about positive energy.
He says the school should be supporting that instead of shutting it down. Olson told the community that the school admin should embrace skating and encourage others to follow their dreams on whatever they do in life.
Skaters keep sharing clips, talking about the tricks they wanted to land, and remembering the spot that gave them all a rush like no other.
At the end of the day, Olson’s words hit hard.
Skateboarding is more than tricks and trophies, it’s about expression, freedom, and finding your lane.
And even if El Toro is gone, the spirit of it lives on in every skater who keeps trying, keeps filming, and keeps pushing.
The haters might win today, but the streets will never forget.
