Skating into foam/ cushions etc
« on: August 15, 2022, 07:14:11 PM »
I just can't shake the idea that I wouldn't spend hours upon hours here and the experience wouldn't be close to heaven on earth. Has anyone been here? Is it as sick as i think it is or do you get over it? Like ive been looking at flights from oz purely to go to this thing. Please tell me ur experiences this is occupying the vast majority of my daydreams

It is both haram & verboten to employ the foams.
You will have your skateboarding pass revoked immediately, if not sooner.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Just *don't* do it.
Hopefully not a kook, but if so, fuck it.

There was a Vans park opened briefly which had foam padding as an option and it turns out I’m still too scared to do an eight stair handrail. Even jumping into a foam pit was sketchy because your board would frequently land on or near your body. 
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

I have really bad anxiety about skating rails.  I would shamelessly be all over the foam program.  It might teach you some bad falling habits though and it’s still totally possible to get folded on that rail.
It’s also going to definitely be the future of Highschool Olympic skate programs while some overweight mustached dude blows a whistle and tells you to give him to more reps to work on your bluntslide form.  Everyone knows the judges love blunts

I need a soft vert ramp and a harness with a rope system to lift me up when I hang up on my roast beef airs. Then a tender supportive voice talking to me as I am gently let down (figurately and literally) informing me that I am still a winner and that if I only believe in myself and never quit I can achieve anything I can imagine.

An indoor park near me had a foam pit for the vert ramp and launch ramp.

Shit got old after about 30 minutes. The pit only seemed useful for a single pro BMXer who would visit the park.

The tender supportive voice of a naked supermodel suggestively shouting "that's a make" every time you successfully land in the foam.

This looks so fun! If you are tired of jumping a skateboard into soft foam, you are tired of life...
BUT...
I don't know how they keep it from meeting the same fate as the ball pit at McDonald's.
"Ugh, why is the foam WET?"
