holy f*ck there is some HATE in here! a new skatepark is opened up and everyone is hating on it... whatever is there now is a million times better than skating on what used to be there!
i cant wait to skate it. hopefully hurstville council builds one soon but not holding my breath.
really well built
the three different sized mini ramps are all perfect
good for progressing tricks
hips are good fun
hahahah
sidey, probably misread the level of hate there
I'm not hating on the park, infact I can't wait to skate it
I just wish the sutherland shire would wake up to the fact that every surfculture/skateculture beach in sydney has a skatepark except cronulla
the only reason why I was "hating" was because of the hype about sketchy mother fuckers being there
nothing cool about feeling unsafe whilst you're trying to have fun
hate?
its great to have another park
criticism however... this park definitely attracts some!
still a fun place to skate
not such a fun place to skate today thanks to all the Habibs who smashed bottles last night.
.... hence why i complained in the first place
i knew something was bound to happen
is this place worth a skate or is it full of bmxicans and glass. eventhough i dont know how that would work glass + bmx = puncture. should i bring a broom. incase of shenanigans.
also is the street section finished yet and has any one got any pics of it.
as far as I know the street isnt street, and isnt finished.
But that was a week or so ago.
it has bmxers, but I dont think they are that bad as they seem to have respect of anyone half decent. IMO.
But it can be hectic, and a broom hasnt been necessary, but always handy. you never know.
yeah been rollin after work this week. Soooo packed!!!!!!!!
Wednesday was eventful. Turned up to find about a dozen 13-15 year olds drinkin goon. One of em was smashed out of his mind and was stumbling around absolutely legless. Slurring and spitting lovely commentry at who looked at him, including me. His mates were trying their best to keep him sitting down, but he just wanted to run a muck. Tripped over the flatbar, and cut his head open!!!!
Anyway his parents get called and two smackie looking characters rock up and drag him away kickin and screamin.
Bad news for the skate scene this shit is ............... these kids weren't even skaters. They were your average homie Nautica Fubu wearin tools.
this park isnt as good as it looks.
it has really bad flow, and the smaller bowled section is poorly built.
the biggest bowl section, the sunken one, is really good, but apart from that, not much going on.
dont think ill be going back hey. too many wack kids on scooters.
yeah this park really isnt as good as it looks i went and was so much smaller than i though it would be and what is with that puzzle block.
