Please stop calling a private skatepark a "training facility"

[GauchoAmigo]

I can't be the only one not down with this terminology. Don't get me started on when people shorten it to TF. It's a skatepark!

Obligatory throwback to the glory days of Crailtap and their park

[Madam, I'm Adam]

No, no I won't! I'll continue to call it a training facility! And if I choose to make a playlist for the facility's stereo system, when people ask me what I'm doing, I'll say that I'm curating a playlist!

[crob legs]

make a change.org and i will sign it. down with the tf!   

[sometimeperhaps]

You’re not invited to my TF.

I understand OP's argument... but for me, the clear distinction between a private park and a "training facility" lies in the details of the frequency and intensity that massage guns are used.  Mucho vibrators used intensely = training facility and/or a good time.

[Lou Strux]

It’s MY private training facility & I’ll call it whatever I damn well please, thank you very much.

First time I ever heard anybody use it was a Quartersnacks post from like 07 explaining why they called Tompkins that because people would write in and ask what TF meant, does every instance of tongue-in-cheek TF usage stem from Tompkins?

First time I heard it was when es made one in the very early 00s. Quartersnacks could of been making fun of that tho I guess

On the old Epicly Laterd photoblog, O'Dell would call Tompkins the TF. The quartersnacks usage prob grew out of early 00s NYC heads calling it that

Can I continue to call my Nyjah element flat bar under my porch a home gym?

[doublesteveburger]

a toilet is where former food goes

[MexicanSpaniard]

Dyrdeks tf won him zero pro contests

The final evolution.

[assvogel]

Calling skateparks a training facility is a joke, which some people who weren't in on, started to take seriously... unfortunately.

[Lou Strux]

Let’s be real though… there are much worse things you could call a private skatepark.
Example: the Berrics.

[lurker_and_poster]

Dyrdeks tf won him zero pro contests

Hard facts, but he earn more money with it then
the majority of contest wins. Harder fact.

Sounds ok to me.

Call our little hall to get through harsh winter  our
„Dojo“ fits much better then „skatepark“
It’s just 250m2 but with mini ramp hip combo some big Bank a ledge and flatrail and perfectly headed and lighted - a much appreciated space to work on myself and my relationship with this wooden toy.

[sid vicious]

People started calling them Training facilities as that's what it's presented to the accountant as, a business write-off

Dojo is the best name

[Mount St. Hermdog]

on 411 #55 they're building what they call the Philly TF

[Atiba Applebum]

Rob Dyrdek/Caine Gayle in “ie” is where I remember hearing TF first. 

I’d prefer it if they called it “the lab”

[layzieyez]

You’re not invited to my TF.

[donkey]

TF is a TF?...... Tf....

[Sid Farkus - Bra Salesman]
