I'm sorry, but that is a terrible design. Tons of wasted space, no variety of obstacles(it looks like everything there is a set of stairs, a rail, or a bank and even in those there is not much variety-most of the stair sets are the same size, the rails are differently shaped but all nearly the same size and even the banks are all about the same) and no flow. It looks like kids will just fly down a bank or stairs, then fly down stairs or a rail.... then walk all the way back up to the top and repeat... all day.
Should make for some really non-robotic sk8rs AMIRTE?
Don't get me wrong, it looks sick for what it is, but look at the pictures, everyone is just kind of standing in the middle of the park, looking confused. I guess if you wanna skate rails and stairs all day you're in heaven.
I see your point...but this is the whole skate plaza vs. skate park debate. I personally enjoy skateparks more (better flow, generally more fun) but skate plazas are built to replicate a street environment. Street spots not built for skating generally don't have alot of flow. Obviously they wanted a plaza so that's what they got.
Skateparks are for old people and people that skate contests. Skate plazas are for people that skate street.
Wow, for someone who likes to call people out on being haters all the time, you sure sound like one yourself quite often.
I'm an older guy myself and I like both.
Skate plaza, skate park, whatever.
I think every good park should have variety.
Some people like big flowing transition type of stuff, some people like ledge/manny/gap type of stuff.
Ideally there is something for everybody at a good park, why would you want to limit yourself to any one type of terrain?
I'll skate fucking anything, yet you seem to be so anti everything that isn't 100 percent tech and street oriented.
Why is that?
Not trying to instigate, just genuinely curious.
I mean you should skate whatever it is that you like the most and whatever you are comfortable on, but I think you'd probably be surprised if you opened up your mind a little and just skated other types of stuff other than ledges and mannys or whatever else you seem to exclusively skate in your everyday routine.
You claim to be one of the best if not THE best skateboarder that posts here.
In my eyes the best skaters are the ones that can skate anything and be comfortable on any terrain and rip everything.
Can you honestly say that you are fairly proficient or really good at other types of skating besides stairs, ledge lines, mannys and flatground?
Again, I'm really genuinely curious and I don't wish to get into it with you even if you think this sounds like it.
By the way I was wondering how old old is when you say that skateparks are for old people.
I know you're a younger dude yourself, but seriously, what's old to you?
20? 25? 30? 35? 40?
Again, not trying to be a dick, so relax, I am only curious as to how you arrive at some of the things you post.
