Skate park bowls are meh. Idky everyone wants to build those. Waste of street course space. Who the fuck wants to hang up on a front side slash fall to flat at the concrete park when you can build a back yard ramp and get good fast.
I'm too old to steal wood but I'd definitely steal some coping for someone else's build. Go out rob a work sight. Build a ramp with your homies.
Maybe you can get a vert guy as soty in a few years. Definitely not going to happen if kids ain't building ramps.
how many skaters do you know who have space for a backyard ramp? hell most don't even have a backyard.
I guess I'm lucky to be where I'm at. Lots of yards and wooded areas to build in.
It's just no one wants to build anything with me.
I am blessed to be near a killer diy tho. I just get bummed skating there alone. I skate street all day everyday alone already.
Most "street" parks are incredibly boring. The most fun and interesting skateparks are the ones which create new objects on which to skate, not ones which reproduce the sorts of things you find in Southern California schoolyards. But as always, a good balance between "street" objects and something more novel.
I agree. It's probably that the bowls being built around here are not the right shape. I'm not sure what the town of Salem was thinking at all.
They had Grindline build the most boring park on earth with metal coping in the bowl too.
I miss all the barriers that was around last year. Really that's all I need for transition to be happy. Or the ole parking block on a blacktop bank. That's my jam.
