Taking very obvious cues from ancient Aztec designs, Nike SB constructs its Templo Mayor skatepark in Mexico City with support from the city’s government, and is the first-ever Street League-certified skatepark outside of the U.S. The grounds feature Aztec-inspired graphics and handrail constructions, all designed by California Skateparks and is home to a specially commissioned Aztec-style mosaic sculpture by local artist Luis Ponce.
