Don't skate the bowl or vert ??? Don't tell me they are that bad ?
CCrow3y22 Mar 2010
No there not! but thats what your bitching about when you havent even skated it!!
Aatheoxx22 Mar 2010
now im no bowl skater..

but if u can skate in that bowl and around those corners and not notice how cheap coping thats cut to save time and effort u shouldnt be in there to start with and talking it up.

also talking about supporting skateboarders is all well and good. and like ive said, props on building an indoor park. but that clip was all scooters, and u have to wear helmets. 2 of the worst things skateboarding has to deal with besides, security, getting hurt and capped ledges.

Going to check it out tonight... Will post my opinion tomorrow!

I have one thing to say....GET over it and deal with it.
GGurooLotag(Troy)22 Mar 2010
I would get over it.. but fear I will hang up on the join...


ololol

also learn to read, we are simply questioning why corners were cut and strange design decisions made. I for one have already wished the owner all the best a few pages back. It is just a little sad to see it fall short of what it could have been.

I have no doubt it would be fun

I know, But you are seeing it in a photo, and that part is so bmx's can stall the sub box. so i guess it just got squared off....
Aatheoxx22 Mar 2010
pointless to argue against it, that bowl job is pretty weak at best.. rest of the park looks ok minus the plywood finish. but as far as indoor parks go its average.

kudos. hope it turns out to be dope to skate. im in adelaide and couldnt be further away. hope a few older fellows on 4 wheels chuck a few elbows into passing kids on scooters to let them know where they rank at the place

That is the dumbest excuse I have ever heard in my life and the bowl or the vert ramp would be the only reason I would go there so I guess shoddy construction has cost you a customer.

I went there on the weekend the vert ramp is fine no problem at all. But ye sthe bowl is abit dodge no offense, ply isnt level so theres alot of bumps that slow u right down an put u off. Also a problem the foam pit nowhere really to wait like i personally would like to acid drop into the ramp but theres so many fuckn bikers an scooters just blocking up the place u have to drop it. and the rail on the small set of stairs you cant pop out on any board nose slides etc cause the bottom few stairs r in the way. and theres a really tight mini halfie in between the vert ramp an the bowl thats kinda odd. Also a cool bak to wallride mega thing but theres noway for skaters to hit that up because you can only pedal into it theres no ramp. so yes the place is very biker oriented

Pay Flaz to go up and fix it. He did an amazing job at the rof. I'm amazed that people can make roundy wooden things. I'm amazed that people can actually bend coping to the right ah.. um.. curve.
TTB23 Mar 2010
haha i agree drew, blows my mind..
Ggnik23 Mar 2010
skated it a few times to see if itd grow on me---but it didnt---lacks flow..down rail n hubba by the doubleset is too small..outrail too short..minibowl is a waste of space just to name a few things...but yeah just a poor layout and shouldve been kept simple..ALL JUST MY OPINON.. ..maybe should be called CRAMPATTAK??

"Dont skate the bowl or the vert ramp....Pretty fuckin simple."...

people aren't commenting to be douche bags on purpose mate. its actually criticism that could be addressed in a professional manner.

telling people not to skate a part of the park because it's dodgy isn't the answer to a successful business... and from the looks of things, thats what this is... a business. one that most skaters would love to see thrive.

im not saying it wont keep afloat, but if you want to actually make enough money for upkeep, development etc and pocket a little for yourself, the customers (the skaters) are who you have to keep happy.

there's a couple of target markets in skateboarding... the people who skate street, and theres people who skate ramp/bowl... (some obviously do both... kudos to those talented mofos')
if you have a half decent street course but people arent digging the ramps etc, the best response isn't to just say, 'hey lump it or fuck off' because 99% of the time, they will, just fuck off...

why settle for half the target market when you could have people lining up to have massive bowl sessions on thursday evenings etc...

win win for everyone.
:)

p.s. these comments are only constructively based... so if you think what im saying is out of line... stiff shit.

Okay then...
Eeduau25 Mar 2010
sounds like shit hey
SSausago25 Mar 2010
C'mon Laz, you weren`t going to go anyway were you! haha
LLazlo_Panaflex25 Mar 2010
Probably not. I might have gone on a skater only day but can you imagine me there when there are loads of bikes and scooters hooting around?

I'd cut people.

Should read "Back in the 90's......I only skated bowls and ramps and you're telling me not to come?"
