  • The park was pretty much empty but it’s small and trick oriented rather than flow, so unless you can ride a few ramps and pipes you struggle to get a nice run that you can build speed and momentum.

    This was my experience at the local park. Really don’t know who plans these things, but it was like they tried to cram as much as they could in with no thought. A bowl that virtually no one will make proper use of, no decent lines and no easy mini ramp. 👎

  • I think they are generally a lot better than years back. They won’t be building the snake run at Romford or Satans Toilet at southsea again

  • Like @Alf0nse says… it is so much better than the stuff I remember almost 20 years ago (just as I bought a longboard and slalom deck).

    I think with a lot of speed you could hoon it over the woop and make a fast run but not without some serious momentum. That doesn’t lend itself to the park size. You’ll look like you’re doing a “fast as fuck boi” impression.

    The ramps etc are mini enough, but I found myself wanting to use the wasted grassy areas either side that could be ideal just for kids on roller skates for example.

    It was missing that simple wide flatland bit that gives breathing room. That space is there but left as grass.
