Adding a platform to the hip could be an "easy" fix to generate speed for hitting the rail and maybe the euro too.
Thanks for putting forward some excellent thoughts Josh... moving forward and rounding this out into a rad park for all of brunswick's skate population to enjoy is definitely the way to go.
Yeah I've been trying to skate the euro and bump to bar. You need to come from the back wall and carve over the hip as high and tight as possible. Bloody dangerous when people are coming the other way and then you nearly always come off the hip not balanced for the rail and can't get in far enough for the euro.
I went there a week or 2 ago and i have to agree with Josh, none of the street things that were mentioned at the meeting i went out of my way to attend seem to have even got a look in. The street section is very disappointing. The hubba is only one sided and short/steep, big bank with a tiny rail on it, no platform on the hip makes it hard to get run up for things. The short fun box which was never even mentioned. I could go on but you get the gist. I would not deliberately go there again.
I hear ya Tim B. I thought we made real progress at the last consultation.
seems that regional councils are better at skateparks than the inner city suburbs. wodonga......
Its always the case bibby, you'll find some of the best skateparks are in the places where there's little to no skatepark scene
Righto, I'm locked in on this site for my uni assignment. I'll have a stage 2 concept suitable for funding in a couple of months. This is all a long shot but we will have a go.
