Wicked video bro. I don't even skate, never have. But I lived in Mac fields for 35 years and I'm a bit nostalgic. Live in Tasmania now so it was a blast to see my old hood. Cheers!

It's sick but also it's 80 grit 😢 Honestly if it was recoated/resurfaced I could see it'd go off again. It has more open space than modern parks and flows nicely. It's a lot of square footage to fix tho, bit of a spend. It'd be sweet if someone had the hookups to somehow source left over surfacer from local tradies as jobs wrap up - like how some of burnside diy's made of end-of-day cement - and bring it back a section at a time 🙏
@LeonPaxton Жыл бұрын
Yeah dude, it's such a cheese grater sometimes lol That would actually be amazing! I've been thinking of trying to start a petition to get the skatepark resurfaced so we can get some attention from the council but I don't really know how to begin that process 🤔

Here in my city, I usually bring a shovel and a brush to remove dirt, sand and snow early in the season to be able to skate already. There is some hardcore skater while doing this but usually, Skateparks are getting busy late June after school and everything. This skatepark you mentionned looks so nice to ride! Great video and keep it up! You just got a new subscribe and wish you to get more views, Have fun and take care!

One of the skate parks in my previous city before I moved almost two years ago had two ledges. Both had the ground leading up to them made bumpy by emerging tree roots. Fun times! 😂

I just returned to skating and bought a brand new setup and it really pisses me off how many parks are polished concrete now because I am sliding everywhere and it's just ridiculous, guess after spending so much money on my board I am going to have to get softer wheels which really peeves me off. I loved that feeling of skating hard as hell wheels, seems like skaters got weak as the years went on. Skating isn't supposed to be about the most perfect conditions and I am not cruising around with multiple setups just to be able to do what I did so easily back in the day.

Very true about the ground. I stacked it out of the fly-out and the ground took a large chunk out of my elbow. Still got the scar after all these years.

Start an online partition and present to Council. Find out the minimum number of signatures required to make it mandatory for the issue to be discussed in Council. i know that if you have 500 or more signatures for a NSW State issue petition, then the relevant Minister must respond within 35 days. Get local media onto it, newspaper/Campbelltown-MacArthur Advertiser. the local radio station 91.3FM. There's a Council election coming up on 14/9/2024. So more likely to get candidates committing to have it fixed.

Man, the skatepark where I live has really skewed my perspective of what a big skatepark is elsewhere. Ours is 27000 square feet, or I suppose where you are you'd better understand it at 2508 square meters. It's half of an american football field.

Dude I know exactly what you mean! Maybe because we expect street spots to be rough but when it comes to skateparks we expect them to be smooth so rough skateparks actually feel worse 🤔
