Shitty skateparks are usually more fun than good ones

[close]

I agree with this one, but some parks are so shitty there's not even fun weird things to skate or good ground. I really hate the street league type skate parks, they just feel so stale.

Yeah, "shitty" can mean a lot of things.
I feel like when people say "I like shitty parks" they mean a bafflingly conceived park, almost funny, but with one or two bizarre obstacles that one very specific style of skater will have a trick for, eg - "this would be great for the pole jam guy" or "the wallride guy could do something fun on this weird thing".

Personally, when I say "shitty park" I mean like a small patch of shitty concrete with a few Woodward prefabs slapped on top, or a park in such a state of disrepair you're more likely to get tetanus than a clip.

China perfect spots are some off the worst if not the worst lookin spots out there. You might as well go and film at the skatepark. USA has amazing spot east,west and the middle.

I concur.

New parks are too mellow and doing things delivers little to no satisfaction.

Also, they never make just regular ledges and hubbas anymore. It's always gotta be those stupid 'floating' tops or some weird relief on the side. The powers that be hated the shift in power of the 10's so much that they made sure that nobody can learn wallies/wallrides into grinds/slides anymore

They’ve been grinding out 20 year old parks up here to make them smooth, they are awesome….

[Superblades]

Where's that then?

[Tetrachromatic]

Where's that then?

It's in Belgium, Ličge! I found this video from 89 a while back

And this is more or less what it looks like now (they added a bank, hubba & two rails in the lower part a couple years back), it's very much a love it or hate it type of park. I love it personally, very lived in and lively still today

Right?? There's a second video on the channel too that's a jump in the mid 90's and it's interesting to see the difference in boards and wheels, it's memed to death but it's so funny to me

Louie and Curren should get Alec Majerus on FA and reunite the Flip 3

Front blunts are significantly easier than back tails on a rail

There was a 3rd Flip baby w/Louie & Curren, but it wasn’t Majerus. This crossed my mind the other day and I couldn’t remember who it was…

No, it was Luan. The OG Flip “3” were Louie, Luan, and Curren. Oh how we forget our history.

Edit: Majerus was in that “3” video but the real 3 are the OG’s imo. Whoever really cared about Alec Majerus?
