And if you can imagine a flowy plaza with obstacles surrounding a clover. Why are crew pushing for a tweaked clover? It's classic, works and would be unique to Melbourne terrain wise. It's the lines maaaaaan.
Thinking for something different steps in the shallow bit. Maybe 6ft, 8ft and 12ft?
This clover is circa '78. Looks harsh! Posting this as it will be a great image to show council of how you could make one look with a bit of landscaping (they love that)
Aesthetically it would be cool to make it a proper look of one with a stalk roll in. Whe a roll in? Clover's are one of the only bowls where a roll in does not screw with the lines too much. We also want younger crew to progress. Rolling in is a great confidence booster to working up to dropping in. Progression wise you will have three levels to work your tricks up to.
Ok so the idea making sense?
Next step is to get some quantitative votes for specific obstacles for the flowy plaza path. Lets take it as a given that there will be a sweet ass flat bar and a sweet ass ledge, just the same as in every other park in the state.
For gathering quantitate ideas I have pinched a resource from the Canberra lads. It is an awesome tool, all the sketches are rad. Australian skaters can all learn a lot from the Canberra skate community. So I will post em up and please provide feedback, as with please provide feedback on every other aspect posted.
Cheers!
I'm feeling the 5th photo you posted on this page Josh. Got my vote for that, the small spine/curb is cool, same as the quater roller. A bank to ledge would be good too. Had a look over the sketches and i like pretty much all of them. So good work on that haha
A lot of those elements should be apart of it, just as long as they flow together.
I've always wondered how they ever got pole jams approved as apart of skateparks? seems to me that they would be a pretty obvious hazard.
