yeah of course, looks like a fun park but the people who get to skate it will be skating it for points rather than for fun, the feel of "i need to do this to win" rather than "i wanna do this because its rad"

From the Concrete Disciples page:

"Better still is that the overwhelming majority of the materials and elements used will be recycled and re-purposed for future events or park projects."

will there you go. good shit.

HAHAHAHA they keep trying to make it so people that suck can win, and they still lose.

you sound like a broken record. how did they make it so "people that suck can win"? because there is ONE wallride type spot? Despite everything else still consisting of rails, stairs, ledges etc.? All they really did was try to make it look more like a real spot. How many threads of you arguing over whether good people have fun or not do we really need...shit's getting old.

in regards to the set up, i like it, it's kinda cheesy but neat, looks better than street league anyway.

ChildoftheGhetto · « **Reply #41 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:00:39 AM »

I was mostly talking about this
"This year's Superpark and Street Course are definitely on a next-level plane. Not only is the Superpark much more accommodating to skaters this year, but it caters to true "park" style skating, reminiscent of what you might see in Oregon, with endless line opportunities and a lot of quick-hit pockets and hips set up to allow skaters to carry speed much better than in previous years. In other words, it just may showcase the amazing skating of guys like Kevin Kowalski, Tony Trujillo, and Taylor Bingaman the most. This year's concrete? Beyond butter!" but They added a bunch of gay shit to the street course, too. Doesn't matter, vert skaters will always win super park, and "tricksters" (HAHAHA ricky oyola is so lame) will always win street.

Looks fun. I forget, in X-Games don't they get a bunch of 1 minute, or until you fall type runs within a certain jam style time period? Same deal here?

ChildoftheGhetto · « **Reply #43 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:11:57 AM »

last year it was 45 seconds run, or until you fell twice. Everyone pretty much got 6 runs.

jackherer · « **Reply #44 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:17:56 AM »

I'd say the way they made it this year is just an overall improvement- for everyone skating it, who can complain about a park that has a better flow to it? it is gay that they made specific references to those guys though, because they still will get killed, i hadn't read that bit before.

finknoos · « **Reply #45 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:22:21 AM »

wait a minute... how will the street league exclusive contract affect this?

I'm not complaining, I'm just pointing out how every time something is "improved" it's so the "core" dudes can have a better chance. To me, that's lame. They should just tell the "core" dudes to get better at skateboarding.

but wasnt there some kinda contract saying they can only participate in street league and one other contest where most people chose maloof?

i may be wrong but just wondering

ChildoftheGhetto · « **Reply #48 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:34:06 AM »

That was only the first year. They can skate any contest that monster/dc sponsors, on espn, or small untelevised contests. Basically, any contest that's not maloof, or dew tour.

MsionCtrl · « **Reply #49 on:** July 27, 2011, 11:22:26 AM »

Apparently they are sharing both courses again this year. Although this setup looks dope it could be way better if it were intended for the sole purpose skating and vice versa

Is Westgate gonna compete in X-games this year? It would be sick to see him skate this park. It looks pretty rad.

Looks like they got a level designer at THPS 1 to do this.

The bump to bar to pipe against the wall looks insane. Hope somebody fucks with that.

PS why do people even bother to talking to COTG anymore?

for some reason this reminds me of the vans downtown showdowns. maybe its the fake street stuff. i dunno. or myabe im a faggot and an idiot.

Holy shit I might actually watch this year, that looks like it will be awesome to watch, compared to the boring Street League parks...
